To create a dynamic model, a typical operating cycle (reference period) is determined and the operation of a company is simulated and dynamically analysed during this period.

---

The simulation model allows the dynamics of a system to be understood and critical aspects, such as bottlenecks in production, to be identified and subjected to targeted investigation for improvement.

The results of the simulation form the basis for the Hayek team's diagnosis. They can be used to identify the relevant starting points and optimisation potential for achieving the targeted goals.
