From the desk of Michael T Clason,
There are a number of factors to consider when beginning a simulation project, especially if you are also shopping for a simulation platform. Here are just a few questions I have fielded:
I’m shopping for a simulation platform, but the differences between applications and the pricing structures are confusing.
- Will less expensive simulation packages work in describing our process?
- I would like the simulation to be built in-house. Why would I have an outside contractor simulate a process when we know all there is to know about our process? And by the way, it sounds expensive…
- How would hiring an outside contractor like FCP Consulting Services even work? What if the “scope” of the project changes? What happens to the agreed upon price?
You can follow the links above for concise answers to each question. And of course, if you are not in the mood to explore these answers by doing a lot of reading, then feel free to contact us.
For now, you can rest assured that FCP is one of the only simulation contractors in this country that will let you know ahead of time what the costs and challenges are. It is very common in this industry to be very secretive about potential costs and qualifications and what to expect. If you’re looking for straight answers to straight questions, you’ve come to the right place.
We look forward to hearing from you and we want your business.
Regards,
Michael Clason
