ReliaSim Line Assessment. Free this fall.
Apply by September 30
Weighing a change to one of your lines? We model one question about your line on your data and return a two-page readout in about five business days. Along the way, we'll help you decide whether ReliaSim is a good fit for your process.
Open to manufacturers anywhere, with preference given to plants in the United States.
What the readout looks like.
An anonymized page from a real assessment of a five-machine bottling line. Two failure modes had near-identical direct losses, and only one of them was worth the budget.
| Failure mode | Pattern | Direct loss | Modeled return | Return per point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labeler Misalignment | rare, longer stops | 6.79% | +5.0 pts | 0.73× |
| Filler Micro Stop | frequent, short stops | 6.72% | +8.1 pts | 1.21× |
On a Pareto chart these rank level (6.79% against 6.72%), and most improvement teams pick the Labeler because it’s the bigger single event and the easier one to see. The model says the Filler’s jams recover 62% more throughput for the same effort. Gaps like that are why you simulate before you spend.
Your readout is two pages like this about your line. It shows where the constraint actually sits, your interrupts ranked this way, and one buffer sensitivity curve. Read the full bottling case study.
What we'd test on your line.
Two minutes on the approach behind the assessment.
One question about one line.
This is for the equipment, speed or buffer decision. We keep the scope small on purpose, because a narrow question answered properly beats a broad one answered vaguely. If some data is missing, we model with assumptions and label every one.
You provide
- Station rates
- Changeover times
- Historian line event data
You receive
- Where the constraint actually sits
- Interrupts ranked by what fixing them returns
- One buffer sensitivity curve
- Whether ReliaSim fits your process
What it is, and what it isn’t.
These limits are what make a no-fee assessment possible, so we state them before you apply.
One line and one question, rather than a plant survey or a phased discovery.
It fits on one page or one spreadsheet tab, with no system extracts or cleansing project.
A 45-minute intake call and a 30-minute readout call.
Business days from data to readout. You receive the readout and run results, not the model file.
A mutual NDA is available on request, and your data is returned or destroyed when you ask. You're welcome to anonymize it first, since the model doesn't need product names.
Apply for a free assessment.
We review applications in the order they arrive and reply within two business days with an intake sheet and a time for the call. Please don't send data yet.
Application received.
Thank you. We'll reply within two business days. If your question changes before then, just reply to our email.
Applications for this window are closed.
This fall's assessments are spoken for. Schedule a call to see the same engine on a line like yours, or open the Sandbox.
