Arena Simulation: one of the most popular and powerful platforms for dynamic simulation.
The simulation allows you to dynamically analyse the behaviour of the system modeled, to test management criteria, to assess situations as particularly critical, to validate design choices, to compare, also from an economic point of view, alternative solutions.
Arena is an integrated graphical simulation environment that contains all the resources for the modeling, design, representation of processes, statistical analysis and analysis of results. Arena is regarded by leading experts in the field as the most innovative simulation software that combines the resources of the simulation language to facilitate their use in an integrated graphical environment. SIMAN language is embedded in the Arena, this is not necessary to write lines of code because the entire process of creating the simulation model is graphical, visual and integrated.
Through the use of models, Arena can be easily transformed into a simulator specific to re-engineering, transportation of natural gas, production, etc. You can create your own designs incorporating both business environment and know-how, for use by other persons, through the use of shared objects and models. The technology that differs Arena is the use of models, or a collection of objects / modeling tools that allow the user to describe the behaviour of the process under investigation in response to questions pre-prepared, without programming, so visual and interactive. Arena may use different types of models, even simultaneously. With the product is supplied 3 generic models (which can be used for all types of process) and also 2 models SIMAN (general language).
Arena is a software that allows you to bring the power of modeling and simulation within your business. It is designed to analyse the impact of changes that involve significant and complex re-designs associated with the supply chain, production, processes, logistics, distribution, storage and service systems.
The software Arena offers maximum flexibility and breadth of coverage of application to the model for any level of detail and complexity. Typical scenarios include:
- detailed analysis of any type of manufacturing, including material handling components;
- the analysis of complex systems for customer service and customer management;
- the analysis of global supply chains that include warehousing, transportation, logistics and systems;
- predicting system performance based on key parameters such as costs, the whole system, the cycle times and uses;
- identification in the process of bottlenecks, as code in new construction over-utilization of resources planning of personnel, equipment, materials or requirements.
Demo On Demand of Arena Simulation deals many topics as the methodology and terminology of the simulation, the products of the Arena family and Template, construction and run of a model and advanced features for Data Integration.

Arena Simulation is the most widespread and powerful tool for the simulation of systems of discrete nature.
The simulation allows you to dynamically analyse the behaviour of the system modeled, to test management criteria, to assess situations as particularly critical, to validate design choices, to compare, from an economic point of view, alternative solutions.

Simulation with Arena the simulation is within reach of all:
1) reproduction of information flows and material (flow chart implementation / Drag-and-Drop Flowcharting) characterizing the activity (system).
2) animated simulation of the flow and observing the interaction of the parts of the system with the ability to intervene by changing the configuration parameters.
3) display simple and immediate report on the comparison of statistics and performance.
Example-based modeling with Arena Simulation:

Arena simulation allows
- To know and analyse business processes - "as-is"
- To analyse "what-if" and to consider the alternatives - "to-be"
- To identify the bottlenecks, to quantify the costs of processes, to reduce cycle time.
- To plan and allocate resources in optimal way
- To analyse all aspects of business, from processing orders to shipments of purchase
- To include all the activities, resources, business rules, logical decision-making, costs, and assumptions in a dynamic model to analyse the existing and future processes
- To achieve substantial improvements in performance (cost, quality, service, and speed)
Arena Simulation material respects
- Native integration with Visio, Excel and Access
- Internet publishing
- Activity-based costing
- Comprehensive reporting system
- Simple and intuitive Microsoft Office-compatible
- Hierarchical modeling of processes
- Report summary and detailed on processes, entities, resources, code, etc.
- 3D simulation and animation export
- Integration of Arena models with business systems pre-existing
- Customization via Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Crystal Reports Designer
Arena Simulation is the market leader in applications for event-driven simulation
