About Us

Since our inception in 1997, Empirical Solutions Corporation (ESC) has been providing Simulation Modeling and Systems Analysis services to help companies eliminate waste, reduce costs, and improve competitiveness. Drawing from a broad range of software modeling and analytical techniques, ESC provides organizations with quantitative data to guide decision making with respect to process reorganization, layout, capital investment, and operations management. By leveraging computer-aided engineering tools, we provide clients a non-intrusive approach to optimizing their systems, giving them the data required to support business case analyses prior to the commitment of capital resources.

Our Reputation

The quality of our analyses, along with the integrity of our analysts, has allowed us to build a strong reputation in the field of systems analysis. Our models combine all of the quantitative disciplines, including lean, 6-sigma, and the theory of constraints, to ensure that our recommendations are statistically valid and will impact the bottom line.

ColumnOur Philosophy

Our Philosophy

Our mission is to help our clients improve their competitiveness by providing them with tools that allow them to quantitatively define and evaluate alternative business solutions prior to the commitment of capital resources. Our strong program management skills ensure that the project scope, objectives, and performance measures are aligned with business objectives, resulting in a high return on investment. The processes we have developed, along with efficient data structures that support our analyses, not only maximize project success but also foster long-term continuous improvement initiatives. We are passionate about every project, and it shows in our commitment to excellence in all aspects of the client interface.

Our Services

At Empirical Solutions Corporation, we bring quantitative data to the decision-making process. Our systems analysis services leverage computer-aided engineering technologies to ensure that all areas of your process are represented at the appropriate level of detail. Using statistical analysis and modeling techniques, we provide our clients with the quantitative data to support process improvement recommendations in a wide range of service areas, as identified below.

Process Improvement

Whether you are in the business of making products or serving people, the processes and systems that you use to achieve maximum customer satisfaction are critical to your overall success. ESC will help you focus your efforts on areas that will yield the greatest improvements by developing a simulation model that can be used to identify – and quantify – opportunities to improve system performance, allowing you to test your ideas before making capital investments.

Simultaneous Engineering

The simulation models we develop provide marketing, product engineering, manufacturing engineering, and suppliers with invaluable insights into the proposed system in operation, often well in advance of the commissioning phase of the project. This visualization of the system in operation and the associated performance measures we provide are extremely effective at obtaining team consensus regarding those early design decisions. Let us provide your simultaneous engineering team with the technical, data-driven objectivity needed to keep moving forward and in the right direction!

Integrated Throughput / Material Flow Modeling

Increased competition and market fragmentation requires manufacturing organizations to design systems with increased model-mix and volume flexibility, allowing for quick adaptation to changing market conditions. Empirical Solutions Corporation has developed an integrated throughput/material flow modeling tool to support the design and analysis of the supply chain and material flow, ensuring that the right material is at the line at the right time.

Plant Floor Data Acquisition and Analysis Services

The accuracy of any modeling project is contingent upon the validity of the input data parameters that have been used to populate a model. Empirical Solutions Corporation has developed plant floor data acquisition and analysis tools that can be used to drive accurate models as well as to drive daily decision-making by production personnel.

Productivity Improvement Tool Development

Using a quantitative discrete-event simulation model to analyze the impact of modifications to a process or system provides invaluable data to support decision-making at all levels of an organization. Often times, during the model development phase, we discover additional opportunities to improve and/or streamline aspects of our clients' data-related processes. We're here to help! ESC develops other modeling and analysis tools using Microsoft Excel and Access that facilitate in-house analysis without requiring years of experience or detailed knowledge of programming logic used in developing simulation models.

"I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be." - William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin
