Workforce optimization helps businesses to properly utilize human resources and accomplish tasks with a high level of productivity. In this blog post, you will find out how simulation enables businesses in finance, manufacturing, ports, warehousing, and other sectors to organize labor, understand its productivity, optimize costs for staff, and more.

On July 21st, at 9:00 a.m. CDT, the Mark Paich Hackathon will commence. This is a fast-paced, collaborative, problem-solving event. It will require teams to build a system simulation model in 48 hours. Prizes include $3,000 for the winning team and a 1-year free subscription to AnyLogic Professional. Check out the blog post for more details on our great friend Mark Paich and how to enter the competition. Good luck!

Each effective business, including manufacturing, tries to minimize waste and simultaneously maximize profitability. In this blog post, you will learn how to reduce costs and increase productivity. You will also look at several successful examples of applying simulation to optimize the production processes.

Enterprise simulation is not a new concept, however, in recent years, technology has enabled it to be used in a more specific way by incorporating simulation-based digital twins. PwC has enormous experience in this area and decided to share the steps that they have developed over many years for starting successful enterprise simulations.

ChatGPT is a dynamic tool that can be used to make simulation modeling simpler and faster. Check out the blog post on this exciting new development, and then watch the video to explore some use cases in more detail. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced modeler, this latest webinar from the AnyLogic team has something for you.

In this blog post, you will find out how banks and insurance companies can develop their sales processes, resource utilization, corporate education, customer service level, and more using AnyLogic as business process improvement software.

When designing a new warehouse or modifying an existing one, owners must consider a number of different factors to get the most out of the building. But the ultimate goal for all of them is to create an optimal warehouse layout that will result in increased productivity, a reduction of bottlenecks, and much more. Read about how this can be achieved in this blog post with examples from real life.

How to structure a simulation model so that it doesn’t crumble when sudden changes need to be implemented was the focus of a workshop from Dr. Benjamin Schumann. Given at AnyLogic’s global conference and now shared online, the workshop is a detailed guide for all skill levels on how to build robust models.

AnyLogic 8.8.2 comes with improvements in the Material Handling Library, GIS maps, and other changes. In this blog post, we’ll give a brief overview of the most significant ones.

As natural disasters become more frequent, there is a greater need to first predict how a disaster will unfold and then prepare for its effects and aftereffects. Disaster planning simulation has enormous potential to do this. Read more in this blog post about how this can be used to develop decision-making tools to reduce the impact of natural disasters.
