Unlock the Full Potential of Modelling and Simulation in your Organisation

How to Implement a Modelling & Simulation Strategy

The technological advances of recent years have led to a massive increase in product complexity. Businesses need to make sure they can engineer and deliver efficient and optimised products to not only lead but also remain competitive.

Maximising the opportunities and benefits gained from the latest digital engineering capabilities is critical. Adopting local optimum solutions is ineffective, so businesses must invest in a comprehensive and coordinated approach to achieve the global optimum and maximise the effectiveness of their digital engineering capability.

To achieve this, you need a Digital Engineering (Modelling and Simulation) Strategy that takes account of the tools and the processes, methods, models, data, organisation, and computing infrastructure.

This high-level training course focuses on modelling and simulation tools from a C-level perspective, identifying business goals, product requirements and organisation needs before introducing a framework that will become the foundation of your comprehensive Modelling and Simulation strategy.

It also addresses the challenges you'll face when deploying the strategy, and shows you how to tackle them head-on to ensure successful implementation.

Interaction is encouraged throughout the course. Questions and class participation are encouraged, as this is one of the key aspects of making this a unique and positive experience for each attendee.

Why an E-Learning class?

Travel and training budgets are always tight! The e-Learning course has been developed to help you meet your training needs.
