Company Profile
Optimisation and Simulation Consulting (OPTSIM) is a leading consulting
company which specialises in delivering cost-saving, decision-support
solutions by applying advanced analytical methods, such as:
We work in partnership with our clients, adding value to their business,
removing uncertainties and recommending the best and most profitable
path to take when they are consolidating or expanding operations.
Our goal is to minimise the risk of investment and maximise returns by
providing innovative solutions that usually add millions of dollars to their
bottom-line, either in additional revenue or by avoiding unnecessary capital
expenditure.
Areas of Specialisation
By combining or individually using simulation modelling, optimisation
and scheduling techniques, we create fully customised solutions,
which typically fall into one of the following categories:
Capacity Analysis
Frequently when an upgrade
is planned, significant increases in throughput are expected. A capacity
analysis considers the current operation and then adds the proposed
infrastructure to establish and quantify the likely throughput of an
operating system after the
upgrade. This type of study can also address issues relating to the reliability
of production units, improved scheduling
or changes to operating procedures.
De-bottlenecking Analysis
As operations are adjusted
over the years or external factors impact on your operating system, the fine balance of
the supply chain may be affected. A de-bottlenecking analysis can pinpoint the cause
of the bottleneck and through optioneering, can
identify where latent capacity exists as well as which parameters can be modified to
improve capacity.
Benefits
Whether our solutions are used to assist with high-level strategic planning
or to improve day-to-day operations, there are many benefits to be gained. Our
solutions provide clients with the capability to:
- Visualise, evaluate and understand the impact of planning decisions before implementation.
- Accurately predict capacity for current and proposed operations.
- Solve numerous "what-if" questions about different operating scenarios and layout designs.
- Significantly reduce the risk associated with complex upgrades by establishing optimum
site or plant layouts.
- Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in an operating system,
then test different solution alternatives to alleviate the problem.
- Decrease operating costs through better asset utilisation and avoid
unnecessary capital expenditure.
- Make better decisions with less risk and more accuracy.
- Increase revenues and ROI.
