Organizations throughout the world are quickly moving to adopt process modeling and simulation as an integral part of their business decision-making and continuous improvement initiatives. With wider acceptance of simulation, these consumers are demanding tools that support a breadth of applications, scale to fit different needs through a project life cycle, and integrated with corporate modeling and database systems.

Organizations throughout the world are quickly moving to adopt process modeling and simulation as an integral part of their business decision-making and continuous improvement initiatives. With wider acceptance of simulation, these consumers are demanding tools that support a breadth of applications, scale to fit different needs through a project life cycle, and integrate with corporate modeling and database systems. Systems Modeling fulfills these needs in the Arena product family, encompassing Arena Business, Standard, and Professional Editions for mapping processes and simulating discrete and continuous systems; Arena Call Center for call-center analysis; and Arena Packaging for high-speed production-line modeling. These products complement each other in meeting the various needs for simulation in an enterprise via a common software interface and compatible features, providing a natural growth path as simulation needs expand.

Organizations throughout the world are quickly moving to adopt process modeling and simulation as an integral part of their business decision-making and continuous improvement initiatives. With wider acceptance of simulation, these consumers are demanding tools that support a breadth of applications, scale to fit different needs through a project life cycle, and integrate with corporate modeling and database systems.

These products complement each other in meeting the various needs for simulation in an enterprise via a common software interface and compatible features, providing a natural growth path as simulation needs expand. One of the latest additions to the Arena family of products is OptQuest for Arena, an optimization software package. OptQuest helps users optimize performance parameters that are of critical importance in the design of the systems under study. This paper introduces the Arena suite of products for modeling, simulation, and optimization highlighting product architecture and technology features that are targeted toward successful deployment of simulation and Arena throughout an enterprise

... The rationale for choosing OptQuest is that it combines a number of metaheuristics techniques such as Tabu search, neural network, and scatter search to create a composite search algorithm. Such a mixed algorithm can provide maximum efficiency in generating alternatives as well as finding the best possible solution [23]. ...
