What is Discrete-Event Simulation?

Discrete-event simulation (DES) is a way of modelling complex systems by focusing on specific events that happen at particular points in time. Rather than tracking everything continuously, it jumps from one event to the next - like a customer joining a queue, a machine breaking down, or a shipment being dispatched. Each event changes the system in some way, and the simulation moves forward accordingly. This makes DES perfect for systems where things happen in bursts rather than steadily, such as production lines, transport networks, or service operations.

What's great about DES is that it lets you safely experiment with "what if" scenarios. Want to see how adding another checkout lane affects waiting times or how tweaking factory layouts might speed things up? DES gives you a virtual testbed for those ideas, without the cost or risk of trying them in real life. It's a brilliant tool for uncovering bottlenecks, optimising systems, testing scenarios and ultimately making better decisions. It is an essential tool in industries ranging from manufacturing, to healthcare, to transportation and beyond. See below for a list of example use cases for different industries.

Harry Munro, Simulation Specialist and Chartered Engineer

Hey, I'm Harry

Simulation Specialist and Chartered Engineer (CEng MIMechE)

I've been working with simulation for over 15 years across all sorts of industries, from transport to mining to defence to energy.

Simulation is the beating heart of everything I do. It's how I 10x'd my annual earnings and achieved financial freedom. It's how I enjoy a fully flexible, remote lifestyle. And it's why people seek me out from all over the world for help with their modelling and simulation projects.

My work has never been dull: from individual contributor to team lead, tech lead, business owner and consultant. This allows me to bring a unique perspective to training and coaching others.

Based remotely across the UK and Bermuda, I enjoy rum-fuelled island life with my beautiful wife and son, while helping others to create their own success stories.
