Facility Design and Management Systems For Achieving Business Goals

A system for simulating a facility to achieve one or more business goals, the system comprising:

• one or more computer memories storing instructions;
• and
• one or more computer processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations including:
• receiving one or more input parameters for a discrete event simulator (DES) module for a facility;
• receiving a plurality of business goals for the facility;
• receiving a selection of a goal optimization technique;
• and
• generating a DES output that simulates processes occurring within the facility based on the one or more input parameters and simultaneously achieves the business goals in accordance with the selected goal optimization technique.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, enable the one or more computer processors to perform operations including:

• receiving one or more input parameters for a discrete event simulator (DES) module for a facility;
• receiving a plurality of business goals for the facility;
• receiving a selection of a goal optimization technique;
• and
• generating a DES output that simulates processes occurring within the facility based on the one or more input parameters and simultaneously achieves the business goals in accordance with the selected goal optimization technique.
