Simulation - flumiq

Innovations in warehousing? A new vehicle, a new tool or a changed process? The use of experiments is essential when it comes to innovation in the warehouse. Qualitative evaluations are relatively easy to make, just checking, if the process objective has been achieved and if the execution has been easier. But quantifying the impact of a change can be challenging. Simply comparing current data to historical or average data can lead to inaccurate assessments as unique characteristics of the orders used for the experiment may not be considered.

The flumiq approach provides objective assessments

However, the flumiq approach can provide an objective assessment by simulating the execution of specific orders using the current process, vehicle, or tool. This simulation is based on the detailed data captured earlier on. By comparing the actual results of the experiment to the reliable simulated results, an objective evaluation can be made, and the quantitative impact of the change can be assessed. This approach motivates experimentation, allows for objective evaluations, and enables the discovery of innovations that can bring real benefits.
