Advanced Process Optimization, Inc. has the capability to model your entire process from receiving to shipping and every step in between. We use statistical models, time studies, and real-time scheduling to create a 2D or 3D animated model of your process. This takes Value Stream Mapping to the next level! We can provide you with a deliverable which will allow you to plan for facility upgrades, changes in capacity (tons), throughput (tons/year), manpower and more!

Simulation Modeling is the method of emulating a manufacturing or business process to evaluate various process configurations over varying time horizons. We at Advanced Process Optimization, Inc. utilize this technique to accelerate the LEAN Six Sigma process and provide a flexible and virtual environment to effect changes to the process before actual implementation. This reduces the risk of a failed project by being able to visualize the changes and model them over long time horizons, thus exposing convergences of variations that may result in an unexpected event. Think of the "100 Year Storm" philosophy. This approach to "what-if" scenarios will allow you to build a LEAN but robust process.

Mitigating risk and building confidence in the LEAN Six Sigma process is a fundamental step in a successful improvement program. A typical LEAN Six Sigma project uses static methods such as Value Stream Mapping which, while effective, are not optimized for the process over longer time periods. Using Simulation Modeling, the team will have a greater understanding of the process and ability to forecast with confidence.

The time and expense of improvement projects can be a burden on an organization with limited resources. Simulation Modeling can reduce the time to implementation and the associated manpower costs of the project by 30%. Independent studies have shown that a Simulation Modeling client can realize up to 15X return on their initial project investment of 3-6 months!
