Decision Support
We can help you get clear direction by evaluating and quantifying your improvement opportunities.
Companies are constantly changing and improving the way they do business, but often the changes aren’t worth the time and investment.
Our Decision Support Value Stream assists clients in evaluating and quantifying improvement opportunities.
Our engineering services are tailored to evaluate the impact of strategic, tactical and operational decisions in conjunction with capital and operational expenditure requirements. Our offering includes:
Simulation Modelling
We develop simulation models which create digital prototypes of a physical system. This can predict and analyse performance which enable clients to understand how their business environment will operate under specific business rules and constraints and how it may impact their business.
Simulation modelling is typically used to analyse and validate:
- Resource utilisation and requirements;
- Fleet size and utilisation;
- Facility layouts (full 3D models are developed to highlight physical interactions);
- Capacity and throughout analysis;
Data Science
We prescribe the data transformation model whereby data, information, insight and prediction forms a continuous cycle. This allows your team to improve their stretch and depth of decision making. We are proud industry partners with Llamasoft, and make use of the llama.ai platform as well as other latest technology resources to build an AI-powered enterprise decision platform for faster, smarter decisions across the extended supply chain.
Feasibility Studies
We believe in an agile approach towards feasibility studies which will ensure that you will derive maximum value from the process. Our studies are broken down into smaller tests to evaluate the viability of proposed concepts. Factors focussed on within studies include:
- Market feasibility;
- Technical feasibility;
- Financial feasibility;
