Abstract

The SDI Industry®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™, 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.
