Q can be used by any manufacturer in any industry where there is a requirement to design and plan linear production lines.

Q is a line balancing tool which includes a powerful, visual simulation of workflow through the line. It allows you to plan initial factory layouts. Q+ is Q with the addition of sophisticated mathematical modelling software which allows lines to be planned using the actual resources available in the factory.

Q+ is very easy to use. No knowledge of the underlying techniques is necessary. You simply tell Q+ what you want to produce and it will arrange a line for you, so that you achieve your goal in the shortest possible time.

Our consultants will come and install the system for you and show you how to use it.
