How often are simulation tools like Simio, Arena, or Invensys used by Operations Management professionals? If so, can you please give us an example?

I understand that a lot of simulation tools are taught at the academic level, but I would like to know if these tools are actually used in the real world.

The answer is depends, they are used much more often in the manufacturing world and a lot of DoD contractors use things like Simio and Anyloigc. 

 

I would say that the majority of uses however is in the consulting realm
