An independent practice, built around one working model at a time.
Frontier Simulation is a sole-proprietor consultancy in simulation modeling and operations research. There's no bench of junior analysts — the person who scopes your engagement is the same person who builds the model and hands you the results.
Most operational plans are never tested before they're needed.
A dispatch plan, a warehouse network, a production line — each is usually designed on assumptions, spreadsheets, and experience, then run for real for the first time on the day it matters. Frontier Simulation exists to close that gap: build a model of the operation, run it against the conditions that actually worry you, and hand over evidence instead of intuition — before commitments are made, not after.
The name reflects the approach: every engagement starts at the edge of what's already known about an operation, and uses simulation to explore the conditions — peak demand, equipment failure, staffing shortfalls — that haven't been tested yet.
Grounded in industrial engineering and operations research.
Industrial engineering & operations research
Formal training in industrial engineering, with a focus on discrete-event simulation, queueing theory, and optimization — the toolkit used to model systems where capacity, timing, and randomness all interact.
Public-safety and industrial systems experience
Applied that toolkit to systems where the stakes of an untested plan are highest: emergency response operations, distribution networks, and production environments.
Frontier Simulation
Now an independent practice, working directly with organizations that need a model built around their specific operation, not a generic off-the-shelf analysis.
