The targeted use of this simulation construction tool is the kaizen rapid improvement event; due to the short timeline and frequently complex models involved, any time that can be saved in the construction of a simulation model can make a big difference in the overall success of the project. The ability to quickly and easily create and adapt simulation models makes it possible for more concepts to be evaluated in a short time. Simulation can then play a larger role and provide better support for decision makers, and will improve the outcome of the project.
