Webinar

Know the Ripple Effect Before You Move a Single Job

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 11:00 AM ET | 60 minutes

A production schedule begins aging the moment it is published. A rush order arrives. A machine goes down. Material runs late. An operation takes longer than planned. The schedule that was right at the start of the shift can be out of date by lunch.

Simio Essentials and Simio Essentials Plus show FactoryLogix customers what those changes mean for the rest of the plan: which orders are heading for a late delivery, where capacity is about to run short, and what happens if you change something before you commit to it.

What you'll see:

  • One click turning your FactoryLogix data into a 60-day production schedule
  • The six views that come back from every run, and how to spot an at-risk customer order before it slips
  • A change tested against the plan, with the effect on delivery shown before anyone commits
  • Two or three options compared side by side on on-time delivery, throughput, and utilization
  • Where Simio APS and Simio Virtual Factory Designer come in as needs grow
  • Open Q&A with the team

Who should attend:

Production managers, planners and schedulers, program managers, and operations leaders who make or approve schedule changes.

[Webinar] Simio Essentials for FactoryLogix

Value from the first click

Simio Essentials runs natively in FactoryLogix. One click loads your current schedule and shop-floor status, and Simio builds the factory simulation automatically from data you already have: orders, BOMs, routings, resources, and machine states. Your planners run it themselves, and results come back in seconds.

How Simio differs from traditional scheduling

Spreadsheets and rules-based APS tools work from fixed rules and average times, and many take hours to regenerate a schedule. By the time the new plan is ready, the floor has already moved on.

Simio simulates production forward in time, event by event, against every constraint in your operation. That includes equipment, labor, material, changeover rules, and the shop-floor logic your best planners carry in their heads. Simio also accounts for variability, like machine breakdowns and late material, so you see the risk to each order along with the expected outcome. You get a schedule your team can execute, updated as fast as conditions change.
