SAS/OR®
description

Optimize processes, address management science challenges and identify which actions will produce the best results while operating within limitations and restrictions. SAS/OR enables you to consider alternative actions and scenarios when accomplishing goals.

SAS Simulation Studio is a graphical application enabling you to build, run and analyze discrete-event simulation models. Application areas include retail, customer service, health care and transportation. The technology's graphical user interface provides extensive modeling tools suitable for both novice and advanced simulation users. It requires a valid version of either SAS/OR® or JMP® software.
