87% of process improvement projects worldwide fail to achieve measurable financial gains. What’s causing these initiatives to fall short?
Discover a proven approach to identifying which projects will generate tangible financial returns before you commit resources.
Build a digital twin of your operation to gain a comprehensive, real-time view of your processes. Instantly test adjustments and assess their impact by running time-lapse simulations. With automated optimization, uncover the most effective solutions that conventional analysis methods may miss. Make decisions with confidence, knowing which changes will drive true financial results.
Transform Your Process Improvement Capability
Make sure you understand the real problem
There is no better way to uncover a complex system’s issues than by creating a digital twin, a model of how the system works. Building the model requires you to ask questions you have never considered. Now you can see when things happen. Suddenly a new dimension opens, showing interdependency and timing. Your understanding of the process grows exponentially. You will see what’s invisible to everyone else.
“I wish I had this product the day I took over my department. Creating a model requires you to uncover what is really happening”
“Using a digital twin requires a deep understanding of the current system’s process, drivers, variability, and capability. You can now see what is causing problems. Then and only then do you have the understanding to make meaningful changes.”
Process Improvement in a Virtual Environment
Unless the process is “right,” no other modification will work. Vision, leadership, sponsorship, culture change, and various approaches are essential, but without a refined process, you just put “lipstick on a pig.” Modern systems are too complex and intertwined to guess. You must have a method of evaluating the merit of a change before investing, or probability says you will fail.”
Transform the process perfectly by making modifications to the digital twin. Test and prove ideas on the computer first. It’s not magic. Before changing the system, you see how all the critical elements work in the digital twin.
“After building a model of the entire process, I could see the interactions of all departments. Problems became obvious. Combining many ideas created a production rate increase greater than management thought possible.”
“Optimization changed the number of each table size at an expensive buffet. The result increased revenue by more than a million dollars per year. From start to finish, the project took less than a week.”
Process Optimization Finds What You Can’t See
The automatic optimization feature streamlines processes and eliminates waste through analysis and enhancement. The optimizer aims to achieve process resonance by rapidly identifying potential solutions and eliminating nonviable experiments. With this AI-like feature, ProcessModel continues to search for process resonance even when you are not actively using the program, making it easier to uncover hidden opportunities for improvement.
This combination of business process simulation and automatic optimization simplifies finding solutions and enables you to make better decisions for process improvement.
Real Process Control
Determine proactive health metrics for your process. These include making SMART metrics — Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Relevant, and Timely. Determine how, where, and when the process monitoring occurs (control plan). For example, reviews might include both elapsed time and volume changes.
The digital twin lets you know how the system should behave at different levels, providing a robust benchmark. Not only can you see if the actual process is in control, but you can also see what’s causing out-of-spec behavior. There has never been a better tool for process review.
“The digital twin became an integral part of the control plan. The model was a flexible document expanding and contracting with business rate changes. Throughput time, variability, resource utilization, and other metrics evaluated against the model during reviews showing unauthorized changes that needed correction.”
Who Uses Process Modeling & Simulation
Organizations like Electric Boat, GE Power Systems, SSA, NASA, PeaceHealth, among many others have leveraged the power of ProcessModel Simulation Software to transform their processes and reduce waste in their Lean Six Sigma projects.
What Clients Say about Process Modeling and Simulation Software
I truly appreciate all of the exceptional education and support I’ve received from all at PM! I only wish other companies would be as dedicated to customer support and service as ProcessModel employees are.
ProcessModel is the most easy to learn, most powerful, and most useful Simulation & Modeling software for transactional processes.
Because of its simple yet advanced animation capabilities, once staff members observed in action what would and would not work, the debate disappeared. The model was the defining decision-maker. ProcessModel helped settle the dispute in three main ways.
ProcessModel helps us identify the redundancies in a process, the waste, and the non-value added activities. We can look at resource utilization, including manpower, and we can examine total process cost.
The tool allows a high-level view of the process very quickly, yet allows drill down of sub-processes through link pages. Everyone loves pictures and can understand them very quickly. With the drag-and-drop capability, it is easy to build the model and capture a very intuitive dynamic process model.
ProcessModel was a great technical fit for our application. But what really stood out to our team was ProcessModel’s proactive problem-solving and genuine interest in our project’s success. They went above and beyond in their development and technical support to make sure our application in healthcare manufacturing met the end users specific requirements.
We will happily work with ProcessModel again and recommend their dedicated team to anyone looking for a collaborative approach
We are using ProcessModel for modeling the order management process. The tool enables us to model current processes, looking at the resource utilization and the overall process. The model was crucial in our project planning and process redesign efforts.
I love this product! It seems to have been designed by people who really understand the intricacies of process analysis from start to finish. ProcessModel has the complete set of features; process-flow representation, graphic and statistical analysis output, simulation capability programmatic flexibility and killer visualization for effective communication of the results.
As the team became more versed with the process of applied simulation modeling, they found that ProcessModel offered them an invaluable tool to achieve greater quality–quicker and more accurately than with previous systems.
