While we are continually developing and refining our techniques and tools, the following
are most often cited as our flagship analytical tools.
Service Logistics Optimizer: The Varicom service logistic tool is a
computer program comprising a
discrete event simulation plus an optimization engine which aids in the evaluation
and development of work force management policies, dispatch rules, work sequencing
and customer service. Unlike many off-the-shelf work force assignment tools,
the Varicom service logistics tool takes into account detailed
features such as labor union restrictions, materials on board,
customer profitability, windshield time constraints, and overtime rules,
to name a few.
Risk Performance Management:The Varicom Risk Performance Management
model comprises a multi-dimensional data framework for cataloging and evaluating
low-level operational risks. Because the underlying model is hierachical, the
low-level risks are readily rolled up to business units and evaluated
with respect to overall potential impacts to the business. In practice this
tools is valuable in prioritizing risks and developing focused mitigation
strategies.
Interactive 3D Worlds: For visualization, evaluation and planning of complex
physical processes Varicom applies advanced 3-d computer-based modeling and simulation.
This capability helps users make better decisions and develop more precise procedures
and plans.
By no means are we bound to our proprietary tools. In fact, our consultants are ready to
sensibly apply a variety of techniques which can
help discover the root cause of difficult problems and formulate innovative solutions for your business.
Here are some examples:
network optimization
segmentation and profiling
pattern recognition
load balancing
discrete event modeling and simulation
3D modeling and animation
data modeling, mining and cleansing
risk assessment and scenario modeling.
