Description of Work |
Accenture |
We developed an enhanced statistical package for analyzing data for simulation models – used by their consultants worldwide. |
ARCO |
We developed a simulation model to evaluate the impact of an expansion of the Seaway Pipeline. |
Brooks Automation |
We performed a comprehensive evaluation of the AutoMod simulation package – many suggested improvements were implemented. |
Celera Genomics |
We developed a simulation model to study the staffing and equipment requirements for a new system to sequence the human genome. |
Defense Modeling & Simulation Office (DMSO) |
We developed new methodologies for validating large-scale simulation models. We also developed reports on validating models based on neural networks and genetic algorithms. |
Kaiser Aluminum |
We showed that the capacity of a proposed heat-treating furnace was more than required – resulted in a $3,000,000 savings. |
Kal Kan |
We developed a simulation model of a carrier-conveyor system that was used to transport ground-meat products to a separate cannery facility – several proposed "improvements" were shown to have little impact. |
Kimberly-Clark |
We showed that two pulpers rather than three could achieve the desired throughput for a tissue manufacturing system – resulted in a $1,400,000 savings. |
M&M/Mars |
We developed a model to analyze the operation and control logic for a new pod conveyor system for the M&Ms packaging area – showed that changes in the control logic would improve system performance. |
PROMODEL Corporation |
We performed a comprehensive evaluation of the ProModel optimization module – many significant improvements were suggested. |
| Swedish Defence Materiel Administration | We developed a comprehensive white paper on the current and future status of simulation technology. |
| 3M | We recommended simulation software for manufacturing and process reengineering applications. |
Tropicana |
We developed a simulation model to evaluate different scheduling strategies for using large holding tanks between juice production and bottling. |
| U.S. Air Force | We evaluated a simulation model of space-vehicle launches at Cape Canaveral. |
| U.S. Army | We developed a simulation model to determine the optimal policy for monitoring a set of enemy communications networks in order to maximize the information obtained. |
Verizon |
We developed simulation and analytic models to evaluate the difference in availability of two cellular-phone networks – showed that the proposed networks could meet performance requirements. |
