For example, automated production lines in manufacturing industry, customer care telephone call handling systems and queuing behaviour studies for the internal design of banks and supermarkets.

SimKit is also a very useful training tool to increase awareness of the characteristics of all forms of queuing systems in an easy, straightforward manner. Ideal for those with no previous experience. Indeed, for those who could not be expected to have any previous experience.

Traditionally, queuing systems have been a subject for the specialist. This is because queuing systems deal with random events – like the arrival of a customer at a bank. As a result, quantitative analysis using mathematics rapidly becomes impossible beyond the simplest of systems. Simulation is the answer providing behavioural results for even the most complex configurations.

Up until now, software based queuing system simulators have been expensive, reflecting their specialist application.

But not any more.

With the introduction of SimKit you have a powerful tool at a very modest price. This does not mean, however, that you have to make do with second best. SimKit has some very powerful features. One of these is that SimKit is totally modular. In technical terms it is what is called a distributed application. In practical terms it means that you can tailor SimKit to your exact needs, and keep it up to date too, in a simple straightforward manner without complex dangerous full software reloads.

In short, SimKit is for anyone with an interest in queuing systems who wants a modestly priced yet powerful software based simulation tool that can grow with them as their expertise develops.
