Planimate

Planimate is a discrete event simulation software developed by InterDynamics, designed for modeling, analyzing, and visualizing complex business operations. The software allows users to build dynamic, animated models of their processes, such as supply chains, manufacturing lines, and logistics networks. By incorporating random variation and process interactions, it provides a more realistic representation than static tools like spreadsheets. Key capabilities include scenario testing, which enables organizations to evaluate potential improvements and make data-driven decisions before committing resources. Planimate can be used to create detailed models for capacity planning, feasibility studies, and scheduling. The software is available as a full-featured version for commercial use and a free 'LITE' version for educational and non-commercial purposes. It runs on Windows PCs. Pricing is not publicly available and requires contacting the vendor.
