SWP is not only a topic for the very big corporations. An article published in PERSONALFÜHRUNG 11/2019 describes how, after attending one of our free webinars, Stadtwerke Solingen started using our preconfigured planning tool HR Match to analyse their workforce planning challenges, and how they derived robust measures to address them.

We are very pleased about the successful collaboration with Infineon and the resulting paper about driver-based simulation in managerial accounting.

Dynaplan Smia 2.0 is ready for download. This version introduces, among other features, private hosting for shared models, agent-based motion functions for SWP, and a tablet user interface, as well as improvements to encryption, compilation time, data import, and more. In addition, the user interface has been overhauled, including the model browser, document wizard, health card, and the shared model dialogs.

In times of a global pandemic, severe measures need to be implemented to protect our societies. Consequently, many events need to be cancelled. However, despite all the uncertainties and challenges ahead, we should not bust our heads in the sand and wait for better times. Now more than ever, it is important that we are prepared and adjust our plans where necessary.

In hectic times characterized by many keywords, especially in the context of digitization, it is not always easy to keep track of and organize the numerous terms.

Row-based input tables provide a very concise way to enter values, especially if input values are identical for many elements of the considered dimensions. Each row in the table represents a particular rule used in the simulation. What happens to a rule when we use rolling forecast to adjust the time horizon of the model?
