The AnyLogic Conference offers a variety of presentations from globally recognized organizations using AnyLogic simulation and modeling technology for better, more profitable decision making. It is an annual meeting place for users and prospective users of AnyLogic simulation and modeling software. In addition, the Conference offers a networking opportunity with like-minded, innovative AnyLogic users. For your convenience, the two-day event falls directly after the INFORMS Annual Meeting, November 4th and 5th in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Program highlights: Elizabeth Tyrie, Manager of Data Science, Fruit of the Loom and her team members will be presenting a supply chain optimization project complete with manufacturing, distribution centers, transportation, and customer components. The Fruit of the Loom Data Science Team were able to provide recommendations on how to optimize product distribution that could save one of the company’s apparel categories an estimated 20% of shipping costs. Bipin Chada, Ph.D., Data Scientist from the Enterprise Analytics Office at USAA will present several models his team has developed that are being used by senior executives to make strategic and operational decisions. The Presentation will conclude with some guidance on how organizations can employ modeling to unlock the business value of their investments.

The benefits of multimethod modeling take center stage as we build a Customer Satisfaction Model, which includes, service interruptions, downtime, and processing time. Also built into the model are varying levels of customer satisfaction based on performance and word of mouth factors. Join us for the “Multimethod Modeling with a Customer Satisfaction Scenario” Webinar August 13th at 12 Noon CST for a comprehensive “how-to” build multimethod modeling with true problem-solving and decision-making capabilities. Webinar Objectives:

Transportation of hazardous materials, notably crude oil by rail are increasing in Canada and the USA. Due to the July 2013 Lac Megantic Train Derailment Disaster and increased concerns raised by municipalities across the country, Canadian Government issued a “protective direction” that requires railway companies to share dangerous goods data with municipalities and first responders. Ali Asgary, Associate Professor, Disaster & Emergency Management at York University in Toronto, Canada is an expert in disaster, emergency, and business continuity management. His extensive research and effective teaching are enhanced by his active contributions to the profession and by translating them into real world practices at different levels. Dr. Asgary selected AnyLogic due to it’s multimethod, agent based and GIS capabilities to analyze and address the situation.

We are proud to announce the official release of AnyLogic 7.2. Building on the capabilities and user-friendly features of the innovative AnyLogic 7, version 7.2 proves to answer the requests of the AnyLogic users community. Enjoy! What’s new in AnyLogic 7.2? Built-in database for each model • Easy data import from any other database, including MS Access, MS Excel, and more. • Model execution logs are now automatically collected in the database. • Models can read parameter values from the built-in database.

The annual System Dynamics conference brings together people from around the world to share important research and application results and to build the community of those active in the field. The 2015 conference theme is “Reinventing Life on a Shrinking Earth.” While Earth has not changed size in absolute terms, it is shrinking with respect to the activity it supports. Complex business and societal challenges have arisen from the increasing activity on the globe that conventional institutional designs have failed to address. System Dynamics uniquely provides a strategic framework to explore the challenges of a shrinking Earth, giving a greater understanding and exposing counter-intuitive insights that allow us to reinvent our institutions and our lives. The program includes plenary presentations that showcase important work in the field, parallel and poster sessions that present the most current research and applications, and a full day of skill-building workshops covering topics from basic software use to advanced analysis techniques.

Over ninety percent of the world’s trade containerized, and in the Port of Hamburg in Germany over nine million containers are transshipped every year. Till now the early provision of information for both the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of vessels and containers is not established. Containers are offloaded and stored at terminals, and then they are usually sent by ground transportation to their further destinations. This hinterland part of the supply chain can often become a bottleneck because if a deep-sea vessel gets delayed, it can complicate further shipment processes. Furthermore, the terminal has no information about the hinterland mode selected or the time of off-loading a certain container (first or last).

Do you apply simulation modeling in healthcare, or interested in learning more? Dr. Nathaniel Osgood, Associate Professor at University of Saskatchewan, has provided a series of video lectures, step-by-step tutorials, and example models that demonstrate how-to build multimethod, or hybrid simulation models. These models are utilized to solve problems in the area of health research. Dr. Osgood focused his materials on multimethod model-building because he believes it can provide greater capacity to respond to a modeler’s intention, and is capable of more precisely addressing various research questions. As a result, AnyLogic is his simulation software of choice.
