The SDI Industry Product Suite: simulation from the production line to the supply chain

The SDI Industry(R)Product Suite is a versatile, high-level simulation toolset for solving problems of whole enterprises. It adds important capabilities to an existing simulation package, Extend^TM , which provides a robust simulation architecture and a wealth of existing building blocks. The SDI Industry Product Suite contains 5 specific elements for modeling the enterprise: SDI Database for high-speed data import/export; SDI Industry for high-speed, high-volume production line modeling; SDI Plant Builder for multi-stage plants driven by schedules; and Supply Chain Builder for supply/distribution chains. Each of these elements can be built upon to model everything from a single packline to a worldwide supply chain
