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:
