Here is an abstract of the webinar above.

Topic: Simulation Modeling in Lean Manufacturing Programs

Abstract :

Simulation modeling is valuable to analyze and improve performance of materials, information, and financial flows in both discrete and process manufacturing enterprises. It incorporates variability in demand, supply chain and manufacturing processes to imitate the real world.

Jim Curry will demonstrate the value of simulation models in a lean program for:

evaluating things other tools cannot, such as impacts of product mix and setups,
analyzing impacts of variability in processes and demand,
replenishment and inventory strategy across multiple locations, and
analyzing impacts of process and capacity changes on performance.


Jim Curry is CEO of the OpStat Group, a company he formed in 1986. He has developed an analytical methodology and developed simulation models for lean manufacturing analysis for companies to optimize their global operations.

He has written material and presented for several professional organizations. He is also an Associate Professor at Fairfield University, teaching graduate engineering courses in supply chain and manufacturing process design.
