Using Quest Advanced, product teams experiment with parameters such as facility layout, resources allocation, Kaizen practices, and alternate scheduling scenarios.

Delmia's Quest Advanced extends the power of Quest's discrete-event-simulation capability by reportedly providing an intelligent, efficient, and automatic design-of-experiment process. Like Quest, it delivers a complete 3D digital factory environment for accuracy and profitability.

Users identify bottlenecks and optimize labor and production schedules. With Quest, product teams experiment with parameters such as facility layout, resources allocation, Kaizen practices, and alternate scheduling scenarios to quantify the impact of production, throughput, and cost decisions.

Quest Advanced eliminates the trial-and-error process approach and, instead, incorporates intelligent search techniques to automate the identifying of optimal solutions without evaluating every possible scenario. This increases user productivity without extensive operations-research training.

Quest and Quest Advanced integrate seamlessly with other Delmia process-planning and simulation tools.
