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..

Computerised business modelling and simulation from Lanner Group have contributed to a 15% reduction in unit costs at the Newmarket plant of photographic processor ColourCare.

For many organisations payback from the WITNESS simulation system is achieved within weeks of its introduction. One such organisation is Cosworth Technology, who took only three weeks to improve their production output by 18% whilst demonstrating that a proposed capital investment of more than £100,000 was completely unwarranted.

When Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), a leading global IT services company, was tasked by the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) to implement the NHS Care Records Service (NHS CRS) for the UK’s North West and West Midlands cluster, it used WITNESS simulation as a key element in the design and management of key processes. The NHS CRS will give NHS professionals unprecedented 24-hour access to..

When a change in fuel emission standards reduced demand for its N14 truck engine, Cummins used WITNESS simulation to take £185,000 of annual savings out of the engine’s post-assembly operation. As important as it was to find these savings, however, Cummins made an even more valuable discovery through the simulation: the company learned that WITNESS could play a key role in its growing Six Sigma ..

Re-engineering of an environmental compliance process will provide the Department of Defence with a cost avoidance of $300,000 per year by eliminating the need for six full-time positions. The re-engineering was accomplished with the use of WITNESS. The software allowed engineers to analyse the current process and evaluate alternatives inexpensively in a minimal amount of time. The process invol..

The effectiveness of the criminal justice system has been a major concern of successive British governments. The current government is no exception; with only one fifth of reported crimes now resulting in their perpetrator being brought to justice, it has launched “Narrowing the Justice Gap”, a new framework for long-term improvement of the system. The ultimate aim, to bring 1.2 million offences..
