Pathfinder Simulation and Forecasting Case Studies Available Online

Case studies are now available on the Pathfinder website highlighting examples from manufacturing organisations already using simulation and forecasting techologies. In addition to evaluating state-of-the-art methods currently in practice by these companies, Pathfinder has been capturing and critically analysing the theory behind the use of simulation and forecasting technologies in manufacturing.

Applications covered by the case studies demonstrate the requirement for simulation and forecasting technologies across numerous industries, including automotive, footwear, steel production, pneumatics, food and refrigeration. These case studies, ranging from driver control simulation to shoe production plant optimisation, describe the approach and results, benefits and key success factors relating to the usage of such technologies. The applications studied highlight how simulation and forecasting technologies are helping manufacturing organisations to save both time and money, improve energy efficiency, enhance quality and become more competitive.
