Logismarket, the Industrial Directory.

Cirrus Logistics specialise in the development of decision support tools based on simulation and optimisation modelling techniques, which are used by our clients for strategic and operational planning purposes. Over the years many bespoke simulation models have been developed of various manufacturing processes for different clients.

With ever increasing pressures for shorter production runs, greater product variety, and more responsive production, simulation modelling can play an important role in meeting these changing new conditions. Models can provide answers on:

• The impact of different batch sizes
• The implications of automation
• The effect of broader product ranges
• Improved scheduling and resource management
• The benefits of alternative capital investment decisions

Cirrus Logistics’ innovative use of animation allows the process to be visualised during the running of the model, which itself promotes understanding of the process.

In this sector, a bespoke model is often the only solution as each manufacturer’s operation is different. However with Cirrus Logistics’ long experience in this arena, they can build on elements of previous models, so reducing overall development time.
