The world of process flow simulation software is always in a state of development. For instance, for the first time ever, simulation software now has the ability to directly tie aggregate production into sales forecasts. We all know plants run to meet annual sales demands, and need to do this within scheduled hours. Additionally, many plants make products in different combinations at different rates, and need a plan to match production to sales volumes. Through process flow simulation, once an accurate plant model is in place, production scheduling software that is tied into the simulator now allows producers to virtually "test drive" production scenarios using enhanced operational modes - providing a simple method to plan for the year.
