Case Study: Boston Scientific achieves $150,000 in efficiency savings with SIMUL8

Boston Scientific saves $150,000 with SIMUL8

Boston Scientific, a global medical device manufacturer, faced inefficiencies in its cardiac battery production line. Historically reliant on static spreadsheets that could not account for real-world variability, the company needed to identify specific areas for process improvement. They turned to the SIMUL8 simulation software to address this challenge.

Using SIMUL8, Boston Scientific transformed its static data into a visual simulation of the manufacturing process. This allowed engineers to clearly see bottlenecks, such as a queue build-up in the backfill process that spreadsheets had missed. By testing scenarios and implementing strategic changes, SIMUL8 helped Boston Scientific offset labor costs and achieve efficiency savings of $150,000.
