Create schedules quickly with SIMUL8’s Generic Composite Scheduler

Originally developed for the aerospace industry, Composites are now used in the production of an increasing number of commercial goods.


As the manufacture of Composites is an intricate process, involving numerous tooling and treatment stages, it is imperative that production schedules can be created quickly to fit ever changing demand patterns.

SIMUL8’s Generic Composites Scheduler gives you the ability to quickly create, review and select numerous schedules to find the most efficient solution for your process and for the current period.

SIMUL8’s Generic Composite Scheduler (GCS)

We realize that it can be challenging for new users to understand the sophistication of the scheduling algorithms. So, we provide a complete solution that develops your skills with a view to you using the software independently.

Staged Approach

It is important that any schedule works in the practical situation in your plant, so we take time to fully integrate SIMUL8 Corporation's GCS into the way you work and make sure it’s algorithms account for everything that is required in your business. So to avoid a large capital outlay before your organization sees the benefits we take a staged approach.

We use workshops and initial small and simple simulations to get all the people bought into the project and to get all the data available and tested as part of our experienced composites scheduling team setting up GCS to work in your business.

This set up time is costed specifically for your business, but the software cost only comes as a rental payment once you decide the schedules it produces are worth paying for.

The Software

SIMUL8 Corporation's GCS is a separate product from our normal simualtion tools, although it is built on them and uses their robust technology.

Why Simulation for Composites Scheduling?

Composites plants are complex, with many interdependent interactions. If a schedule does not work because it does not take all these into account it is useless. Simulation is the perfect tool to test a schedule. We start by building a simulation of your system so that schedules can be tested because simulations can be made to behave the same way as your plant.

Although we use a very clever scheduling algorithm it has only been successful because it uses the simulation to automatically test its own feasibility. SIMUL8’s simulation technology is very very fast (6 times faster than its nearest competitor on speed) – which is how the overall SIMUL8 GCS can be as fast and effective.
