Case Study: Lockheed Martin Aeronautics achieves faster training and lower costs with Simio Digital Twin technology

Lockheed Martin cuts training time by 25% with Simio

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, a global leader in aerospace and defense, faced significant challenges in managing its complex military training operations under performance-based contracts. This created financial risk and operational complexity due to unpredictable student progression and high-value asset maintenance. To address this, they turned to vendor Simio and implemented its Process Digital Twin technology.

The solution involved creating a comprehensive Training Enterprise Digital Twin with Simio that accurately modeled student progression and asset availability. This digital replica delivered remarkable results, including 25% faster training completion times, a 20% reduction in peak student loads, and potential cost savings of tens of millions of dollars through optimized asset procurement, fundamentally transforming their operational decision-making.
