Simulation

In order to be competitive in today's business world, business operations managers must have a detailed understanding of the processes that are key to their success. In many situations, internal processes have become so complex that traditional mathematical tools can no longer be used to accurately model them. This problem has led to the use of computer simulations to model the complexities found in factories, healthcare, communication networks, transportation, and distribution systems. By understanding these processes, operations managers can employ I.Q. Technologies, Ltd. simulation solutions to plan supply and inventory levels appropriately, predict the outcome of a change in production, and plan responses to changes in the marketplace.

Most real-world systems that lend themselves to computer simulation are comprised of many different objects that interact together in order to fulfill a complete and common goal. In manufacturing plants, machinery must work in conjunction with human operators while maintaining a certain set of operations. In a hospital, operating rooms and staging areas must work in conjunction with service personnel, physicians, specialized equipment, and patients in a coordinated fashion to provide the best possible care while conserving available resources.

Medical Clinic Simulation

I.Q. Technologies, Ltd. has extensive experience in developing computer simulations that model a wide variety of real-world operations. Each object in our solution is configured separately by describing its attributes and actions that are important in the context of the system being modeled. The actions of the object describe how it will respond to commands dictated by business rules and to requests made by management or other objects in the system.

Our simulation solutions contain a complete set of policies and business rules that govern the objects comprising the system. The policies dictate how your organization's resources are assigned to tasks that arise during execution. In the case of a hospital operating wing model, the policies can, for instance, dictate which operating rooms may be used for the different types of procedures. The policies will also assign physicians and personnel to the task while adhering to required skill sets and time availability. With a complete set of objects and business rules, the computer simulation can be used to model the entire production process with a very high level of detail. Operations managers who use simulation to gain a competitive advantage find that it minimizes the risks involved in changing a policy or modifying a process. By minimizing risk in a non-invasive manner, a simulation solution can provide your organization with an intuitive tool that will help improve the bottom line.
