OptQuest for SIMUL8

Introduction

OptQuest

OptQuest for SIMUL8 is a SIMUL8 Standard Plug-in that adds optimization features to SIMUL8 Standard. It is included in SIMUL8 Professional.

Simulation is great for evaluating proposed decisions but it can't help to uncover the "right decisions" to evaluate. OptQuest for SIMUL8 enables the user to find the best answer to the "what-if" questions in their simulations. They can quickly determine what combination of variables results in achieving their objectives. For example:

  • Maximum return on budgets allocated to different uses, given uncertain product demand, machine reliability, and raw material availability.
  • Most effective configuration of machines for production scheduling under variable conditions of demand and operation.
  • Most effective location and release sequencing of raw materials to minimize waiting time.
  • Optimal workforce allocations to minimize lead time and labor costs.
