How do we minimize aircraft turnaround time?
They developed a model of their largest air hub using Arena Simulation Software.
SIMULATION WITH ARENA Simulation. Simulation is a numerical technique for conducting experiments on a digital computer, which involves logical and mathematical relationships that interact to describe the behavior and structure of a complex real world system over extended periods of time 1.
Packaging Terminal facility loads & unloads more than 80 planes/day
Tested variations in:
- Flight schedules
- Equipment availability
- Resource schedules
Can now experiment and test operational changes before implementing them.
World’s largest package delivery company identified millions of dollars in savings from better allocation of resources, equipment and schedules.
How can we best improve patient waiting times?
They developed a simulation model to evaluate possible improvement scenarios using Arena Simulation Software.
Patients experienced long waiting periods
The Hospital Evaluated Several Proposed Process Improvements
- Moving certain patient classifications to different facilities
- Building a new, larger facility
- Performance of the telemetry unit
They realized that their planned course of action would not have the desired outcome.
The Hospital avoided a $500K capital expenditure by making basic process and resource enhancements.

The Maschhoffs, the largest family-owned pork producer in the U.S., asked
How can we better respond to disruptions in our supply chain?
They created a supply chain simulation from production partner's daily analytics using Arena Simulation Software.
Quickly determine the best way to reallocate growing pigs to new farms.
THE SIMULATION MEASURED:
- 5 million live pigs/year
- 550 production partners across the Midwest
- 73 different sow farms
- 700-800 truckloads of pigs/week
They developed a real-time model that can now respond to supply chain disruptions in minutes rather than hours.
