Case Study: BAE Systems achieves better production forecasting and scheduling with Simio software

BAE Systems meets production deadlines with Simio and cuts overtime

The aerospace and defense firm BAE Systems utilized Simio software to meet production deadlines and support its digital transformation and process re-engineering initiatives. The challenge was to develop an agile platform for creating Adaptive Process Digital Twins to facilitate predictive and prescriptive applications.

Simio's solution included its patented risk-based planning and scheduling functionality, which integrates stochastic modeling for risk analysis. This provided BAE Systems with a "finger on the pulse" awareness of their operations, enabling quick adjustments to factors like system downtime. The measurable impact was that Simio software helped the customer meet production deadlines and is now used to decrease overtime, develop training goals, write proposals, and evaluate capital investments.
