The 4-day course on Arena is taught by experienced Arena Simulation Consultants and consists of an even balance of lectures and hands-on workshops. Here's how it breaks down: (Cost Per Person) Day 1 -- Begins with an introduction to simulation and the Arena modeling methodology. Next you'll apply these fundamentals to a mini-project, so that by the end of a single day, you will have achieved your first successful application of simulation. Using Arena's integrated tools and one-step modeling environment, you'll build a graphically animated model, select appropriate random distributions from empirical data, and perform a statistical analysis of model results. Days 2 and 3 -- The fundamentals presented on Day 1 are extended into areas such as modeling complex decision logic; using Arena's built-in material handling system constructs; and creating interactive, menu-driven models. Animation and analysis concepts are incorporated throughout the course to reinforce the importance of these aspects of successful use of simulation. Day 4 -- Application-focused consulting and project jump start. Begin to map out your own modeling efforts with the expert advice of our consulting staff.

QUOTE COMPARISON DETAILS: GOLDSIM- GoldSim Technology Group LLC Software Pricing GoldSim Pro (suggested version) $3,950.00

Examples of applications include: - Quantitatively address the inherent variability and uncertainty that is present in real-world systems (using Monte Carlo simulation). - Dynamically link external programs or spreadsheets directly into your GoldSim model. - Insert graphics, notes and hyperlinks (to documents, websites, and presentations) in order clearly explain your model to diverse audiences. - Optimize your dynamic simulation models by finding the values of decision variables that produce the optimal results. - Save your models as player files that anyone can view and run using GoldSim Player. - GoldSim can simulate both discrete and continuous processes simultaneously. This is a distinct advantage when the system includes continuous flows or dynamics. Training $1,500.00

The 3-day GoldSim workshop provides an introduction to the use of the GoldSim software. The workshop involves hands-on use of the software.

QUOTE COMPARISON DETAILS: SIMUL8- Simul8 Corporation Software Pricing SIMUL8 Professional 2011 $5,919.00

Examples of applications include: - Mimic the operation of a business system, such as the running of a factory assembly line, the staff assignment of a hospital or call center, or the day-to-day operation of a bank. - SIMUL8 also allows for real-life randomness, for example: it doesn't always take exactly 5 minutes for a customer to be served and a customer doesn't always arrive every 15 minutes. This means that the model really can match reality and behaves the same way as the system would in real life. - Experiment. With Simul8 you can quickly try out your ideas at a fraction of the cost of trying them in real life. As a result of being able to try ideas quickly, you can have many more ideas, and gain many insights into how to run the organization more effectively. - Problem identification. Most modern systems are complex in nature. Simulation provides a place to explore these systems for the identification of problems. Only by understanding all of the interdependent variables is it possible to identify the true source of the problem. This results in less time spent trying to remedy the symptoms of a problem instead of solving the problem itself. - Bottleneck Analysis.Through identification of the bottleneck by means of simulation it is possible to quickly evaluate methods for addressing that issue. Training $4,195.00
