Simulation Software
What Arena Does
Business Process Simulation
Few business decisions are straightforward. Changes in one area of your business impact other areas—often in ways not anticipated. Business process simulation software is an effective way to evaluate the full implications of business decisions before they are put into practice.
How It Works
Discrete Event Simulation
Discrete event simulation describes a process with a set of unique, specific events in time. These flexible, activity-based models can be effectively used to simulate almost any process. For 30 years, Arena has been the world’s leading discrete event simulation software.

World’s largest package delivery company asked:
How do we minimize aircraft turnaround time?
They developed a model of their largest air hub using Arena Simulation Software.
Packaging Terminal facility loads & unloads more than 80 planes/day
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.
A hospital asked
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
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.
They developed a real-time model that can now respond to supply chain disruptions in minutes rather than hours.
Balancing efficiencies in flow, transportation, and costs saved money, time, and resources.
