Optimisation and Simulation Consulting (OPTSIM) is a leading consulting company
which specialises in delivering cost-saving, decision-support solutions by
applying advanced analytical methods, such as:
-
simulation modeling
-
optimisation
-
scheduling.
We work in partnership with our clients, adding value to their business,
removing uncertainties and recommending the best and most profitable path to
take when they are consolidating or expanding operations. Our goal is to
minimise the risk of investment and maximise returns by providing innovative
solutions that usually add millions of dollars to their bottom-line, either in
additional revenue or by avoiding unnecessary capital expenditure. Areas of
Specialisation By combining or individually using simulation modeling,
optimisation and scheduling techniques, we create fully customised solutions,
which typically fall into one of the following categories: Capacity Analysis
Frequently when an upgrade is planned, significant increases in throughput are
expected. A capacity analysis considers the current operation and then adds the
proposed infrastructure to establish and quantify the likely throughput of an
operating system after the upgrade. This type of study can also address issues
relating to the reliability of production units, improved scheduling or changes
to operating procedures.
De-Bottlenecking Analysis
As operations are adjusted over the years or external factors impact on your
operating system, the fine balance of the supply chain may be affected. A
de-bottlenecking analysis can pinpoint the cause of the bottleneck and through
optioneering, can identify where latent capacity exists as well as which
parameters can be modified to improve capacity.
Benefits
Whether our solutions are used to assist with high-level strategic planning or
to improve day-to-day operations, there are many benefits to be gained. Our
solutions provide clients with the capability to:
-
Visualise, evaluate and understand the impact of planning decisions before
implementation.
-
Accurately predict capacity for current and proposed operations. Solve numerous
"what-if" questions about different operating scenarios and layout designs.
-
Significantly reduce the risk associated with complex upgrades by establishing
optimum site or plant layouts.
-
Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in an operating system, then test
different solution alternatives to alleviate the problem.
-
Decrease operating costs through better asset utilisation and avoid unnecessary
capital expenditure.
-
Make better decisions with less risk and more accuracy. Increase revenues and
ROI.
