Why Every Continuous Improvement Practitioner Should Understand Monte Carlo Simulation

Uncertainty can be spooky. But Monte Carlo simulation helps reduce the jump scare of decision-making by providing a clearer view of the risks involved. It can't tell you if you forecast is right or wrong, but it can help you understand the possible outcomes that could occur if it's off.

Join practitioners, manufacturing teams, and even Agile software teams as they incorporate Monte Carlo simulation into their improvement work to create a more accurate picture of what your process will look like and how it will perform under real conditions.

Learn to speak the language of probability and back up decisions with data. Discover why it's changing their game, and why it should belong in your continuous improvement toolkit, too.
