Lanner Group’s visual interactive simulation software WITNESS has been used in the NHS to model bed occupancy. This case study was published following a WITNESS project carried out in Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust. This piece of work formed part of a larger project (The PRISM Project) researching the use of simulation in HealthCare.

An advanced business simulation tool from Lanner has been used by Batchelors Foods (part of Campbell Grocery Products Ltd.) to ensure that a planned change to their supply chain would not be compromised by an adverse impact on inventory and customer service levels. The tool has helped to justify the planned changes by quantifying their overall cost/benefit and by identifying the requirement for ..

Many companies recognise that simulation modelling can significantly reduce the risk associated with major change. A recent project at Carlsberg-Tetley’s Northampton Brewery resulted in an envisaged requirement to install a third filter at a cost of £1m being avoided whilst the requirement to increase capacity by 33% was met. The best solution, identified through modelling, was not the obvious o..
