Ten Benefits of Business Process Simulation
1. Business process simulation helps you visualize and understand your business processes. […]
Preloading Queues
Queue preloading is a process where the queues / storages in the model are preloaded with entities. This helps when you have a large model and you need to reduce the overall simulation starting time. […]
New ProcessModel Features?
We designed new features in ProcessModel using advanced capabilities in Excel. These new features are so advanced they are unavailable in ANY other software. What makes these additions so valuable? They combine many features into a single object that is easy to learn, quick to implement, and solves a complex [...]
Model Objects
Model objects are like appliances for your home. You select components to enhance the capability and interactions in each room. Just like appliances, model objects enhance your capability, make you a better modeler, and reduce the time to finish the projects. Below is a description of the top model objects and their purpose: Name Purpose [...]
Process Interviewing Problems & Solutions
Process interviewing is the fastest way to glean pertinent information about a system. See the nine ways people will try to derail interviews and a solution for each. […]
Lego’s for Model Building – Model Objects
Model Objects (MO) are like Lego’s for process improvement projects. MO are pre-built segments of models that snap together and solve difficult simulation modeling problems. MO reduce process improvement time and increase project quality. […]
Build and Test Models Faster
Build and Test Models in a Fraction of the Time In an Oregon Hospital, a modeler has learned a technique to build accurate models in 2 days. Not models of one interaction, but models of an entire department, such as Surgery, Maternity or the overall flow of a hospital. In this article, you will learn [...]
Schedule High-Volume Production
There is a technique to schedule high-volume production (millions of entities) and not slow the simulation. Scheduling with these volumes sounds impossible but, it’s not, and it’s simple to implement. To find out more, read the steps and get a link to a new model object. […]
You Are the BottleNeck
One customer asked, “Could a resource to be underutilized and still be a bottleneck?” The person standing next to him incorrectly responded: “I don’t think that’s possible.” Yes, it is possible for an underutilized resource to be the delay. And it's also possible to find out when its happening and if there is a repeating [...]
New Manufacturing Assembly Model Objects
Two new manufacturing assembly model objects are released. These model objects are combined to handle intermittent assembly systems. Intermittent Assembly Systems can produce many different products on the same line. Each product may require different quantities or types of subassemblies. Assembly times change. Even resource assignments may change. Simplify Creation of Intermittent Assembly Models Intermittent [...]
