SimStat: Consulting services

The Simulation and Statistical Research and Consulting Centre (SimStat) is located in the Department of Computing and Mathematics (Faculty of Sciences). SimStat has been involved in R&D activities involving large scale complex systems simulation and statistical consulting since 1993. Led by Mr Mike McFarlane (Coordinator Simulation) and Dr Ashley Plank (Coordinator Statistics), the Centre has developed simulation models to assist managers and strategic planners across a wide range of industries such as

• meat processing (slaughter floor and boning room operations)
• health (day care rehabilitation),
• materials handling (freezer packing, grain harvesting, cotton processing)
• finance (mortgage backed securities)
• transport (international airport terminal operations, ring-road impacts, and more recently busway operations)

SimStat was a finalist in the Asia Pacific IT&T awards recently held in Brisbane as a result of the state-of-the-art simulation it developed for the design and coordination of Brisbane's Busways project.
