Simul8
Simul8 is discrete event simulation software that helps organizations model processes, test operational changes, and compare outcomes before making changes in the real world. Operations, engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, supply chain, and service teams can use it to examine how people, equipment, materials, and work move through a system over time. Users build a visual process model, define its routing and business rules, and add factors such as demand variation, resource availability, shift patterns, and equipment downtime.
