Assisted in improvement of the production lines **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abdul A. | Customer Support Technician, Banking, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2025 **What do you like best about Lanner WITNESS?** I liked that Lanner WITNESS can model and simulate different production processes so it was beneficial to me. This way, I am able to select from a large number of dispositions and determine where the main issues are and how they will affect the plant when the changes are made. **What do you dislike about Lanner WITNESS?** To get insights from the results of the simulation the data is usually saved into another program for further analysis and data visualization. This two-step process is rather tedious and again it interrupts the general process of working. **What problems is Lanner WITNESS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lanner WITNESS copes with the problem of the anticipation of effects caused by changes in the manufacturing system. When I model certain situations I can see where problems are likely to occur and correct them before they actually affect the production process. ### 2. Very effective and powerful, but it requires a high professionalism for use **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paolo S. | Senior Consultant **Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Lanner WITNESS?** The great flexibility, if you know the tool you can simulate everything **What do you dislike about Lanner WITNESS?** The complexity, if you don't use Witness very often every time is like the first time **What problems is Lanner WITNESS solving and how is that benefiting you?** We made a model of a new warehouse with a very high level of automation. With the simulation we have chosen between 2 types of equipment, and we made the fine-tuning of the design ### 3. Good for small, medium and large simulations **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarath J. | Research Felowship, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2019 **What do you like best about Lanner WITNESS?** The software is very user friendly. I have not used it on many occasions, but for a beginner, it was very easy to use and design elements. The newer updated make it more graphically better to visualize and design. **What do you dislike about Lanner WITNESS?** Lot of features found in other simulation packages have more features, although not necessary for basic simulation, it could still help for those who would like to emulate a system better **What problems is Lanner WITNESS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Warehouse Efficiency Improvement ### 4. The best simulation software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Harish R. | Assistant Housing Affairs, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Lanner WITNESS?** The software offers very good simulation tools. It is good and easy to use. Simulations over weeks gives good results, especially breakdown and idle time of machines **What do you dislike about Lanner WITNESS?** Very often the speed of simulation cannot be controller, looks more like a software problems that needs to be fixed **What problems is Lanner WITNESS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Production planning ### 5. The most user friendly simulation software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2019 **What do you like best about Lanner WITNESS?** From a beginners standpoint, it is very easy to start using WITNESS, compared to other software's available **What do you dislike about Lanner WITNESS?** Once you get a hang of the software, there are many features that are lacking in this software compared to others like simio for further detailed analysis. **What problems is Lanner WITNESS solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simulation and optimization problems.
