The most frequently asked questions about material flow simulation

When should material flow simulation be used?

Material flow simulation is useful when planning new facilities, optimizing existing systems, evaluating investments, analyzing bottlenecks, or comparing different strategies.

How does material flow simulation help to make processes more efficient?

A simulation reveals bottlenecks, unnecessary routes, or waiting times in the material flow. This allows processes to be improved in a targeted manner and increases the speed and stability of the processes.

What advantages does material flow simulation offer in competition?

Optimized material flow enables faster and more cost-efficient responses to customer requirements and market fluctuations – a clear competitive advantage.

Can material flow simulation reduce the workload for employees?

Yes. Smoother processes and better resource utilization reduce manual effort. This increases productivity and reduces the workload on employees.

How does material flow simulation contribute to process optimization?

It reveals weaknesses, highlights potential for improvement, and helps to deploy resources in a targeted manner—thereby avoiding unnecessary costs and improving processes in the long term.

How long does a material flow simulation take?

The duration depends on the complexity of the system and the availability of data. Smaller projects take a few weeks, while larger ones can take several months.
