Weighted Overall Process Efficiency

Take your analysis to the next level with Weighted Overall Process Efficiency, which is calculated based on the process efficiency. This advanced metric uses a weighted approach, considering the importance and contribution of each entity to overall efficiency. By aggregating these efficiencies, you gain a holistic view of your workflow’s performance, enabling you to:

  • Prioritize optimization efforts for processes with the highest impact.
  • Understand how individual entities influence overall operational success.
  • Make data-driven decisions to enhance productivity and resource allocation.

This feature is essential for identifying systemic inefficiencies and ensuring sustained process improvements.

Introducing Impact Analysis

Prepare to revolutionize how you identify, optimize, and streamline your processes! Impact Analysis, the latest groundbreaking feature in ProcessModel, is here to uncover hidden potential and turn inefficiencies into powerful opportunities.

  • Pinpoint high-impact changes — Stop guessing and optimize where it matters most!
  • See the big picture — Understand how every activity affects your system.
  • Maximize efficiency — Eliminate bottlenecks, boost productivity, and drive measurable gains.
  • Make data-driven decisions with confidence — No more trial and error!

Impact Analysis reveals which modifications will create the most significant improvements, helping you cut waste, enhance performance, and accelerate success. Whether refining workflows, reallocating resources, or removing inefficiencies, this tool puts strategic, high-impact insights at your fingertips.

  • See the most critical process bottlenecks immediately
  • Focus your improvement budget where it counts the most
  • Make smarter, faster decisions with data-driven precision

With the Hotspot Evaluator, you’ll instantly uncover high-impact opportunities, ensuring that every improvement drives maximum efficiency and ROI.

Custom Report Updates

The Custom Report is one of the most critical features of ProcessModel Smart Stats, allowing users to create personalized reports that include only the most relevant data. With the new update, users have even greater flexibility in defining and analyzing their reports, ensuring they see exactly what matters most to them.

Stats function selection in v6.1

With this powerful upgrade, you can:

  • Instantly extract key statistics from any standard report—no clutter, just the insights you need.
  • Generate reports in seconds—zero hassle, maximum efficiency.
  • Seamlessly integrate with any analysis method—statistics auto-adjust without manual tweaks!
  • Faster model debugging, more intelligent analysis, and error-proof presentations—so you can focus on decisions, not data fixes.

Transform the way you work — speed, accuracy, and automation are now built-in!

After selecting statistics, the presentation automatically adjusts to match the type of analysis (simple simulation, replications, scenarios, etc.) Examples follow:

Add a report from a separate model

When a change requires more flexibility than scenario parameters, save the model as a new name

and change flow, resource shifts, or action logic. Then, add the model output to your base model output.

The Stats upgrade is fast, easy to use, and powerful!

Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Create an SLA using any variable that collects time. Set the expected target (Value) and the required service level (the percentage of time the value should be below the expected value). The achieved value turns green if the goal was met and red if it failed. You don’t need to do the calculations manually and add five variables for each SLA. It is simple, fast, and effective.

Service Level Agreements v6.1

You can collect and report any number of unique categories with only two variables. For example, the Social Security Administration needs to report 16 different SLA’s in the same model. Previously, using manual calculations would need 80 variables, a lot of time, and rigorous debugging. With the SLA feature, all they need to do is record the “type” of the customer into a variable while they write out the response time.

Other custom report features include:

  • Filtered Stats: Enable detailed stratification of data collected in variables. For example, a hospital might categorize patient wait times based on urgency levels, department type, and time of arrival to pinpoint inefficiencies and improve service delivery.
  • Time Series Charts: Plot the value of a variable over time, such as tracking the number of patients in a waiting room at different times of the day to optimize staffing and resource allocation.
  • Histogram: Summarize and visualize the distribution of variable values, such as tracking emergency room admission times to identify peak hours and improve patient flow.
  • State or Utilization Charts: Analyze how locations and resources are utilized over time to identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
  • Pie Graphs: Isolate “State” information for specific resources or locations, offering a clear visual representation of data.
  • Text and Images: Personalize reports by adding company logos, descriptions, and explanatory notes to enhance clarity.

Additionally, users can now copy charts and stats tables using a dedicated copy button in the ribbon menu, making it easier to share insights and incorporate them into external reports.

View Raw Variable Data from the General Report

ProcessModel now enables users to view and copy raw variable data directly from the General Report. This powerful feature facilitates quick decision-making by allowing users to:

  • Instantly access raw data without needing to export it.
  • Compare variable values across different runs for in-depth analysis.
  • Copy and paste data seamlessly into other tools for further processing or collaboration.
  • Speed up troubleshooting by examining raw statistics without additional filtering.

By making variable data more accessible, this enhancement streamlines analysis and ensures that users can act on real-time insights efficiently.
