Overview
Arena Professional simulation software is most effective when analyzing complex, medium to large-scale projects involving highly sensitive changes related to supply chain, manufacturing, processes, logistics, distribution, warehousing, and service systems.
In addition, Arena PE is used to create customized simulation modeling products; that is, templates focused on specific applications or industries. With Arena Professional, customers develop custom templates that consist of "libraries" of modeling objects that make it significantly easier and faster to develop models that require repeat logic.
Templates included: Basic Process, Advanced Process, Advanced Transfer, Flow Process, Blocks, Elements
Tools included: OptQuest for Arena
Examples of applications include:
- Detailed analysis of complex manufacturing processes that include material-handling intensive operations (fork trucks, AGV systems, and labor)
- Analysis of Six Sigma implementations, KanBan/Pull or Push systems
- Modeling complex customer-handling activities such as passenger movement and baggage handling in airports, customer service in entertainment parks and other service systems
- Improving local and global supply chain processes
- Detailed analysis of warehousing, logistics, or transportation, military and mining applications
- Creating a custom Arena-based template for modeling logistics network of a global travel agency
- Creating a custom Arena-based template for modeling manufacturing flow of a major automotive manufacturer
Who can use it?
Arena Professional is targeted toward industrial or manufacturing systems engineers, business analysts, consulting firms providing services to a specific industry/application, or corporations with a dedicated simulation team.
