PROCESS MODELING AND SIMULATION
Process modeling and simulation is a powerful tool that will improve any process in any industry.
You can validate and optimize your process improvement ideas in a risk-free virtual environment before any changes or capital expenditures are made.
Applying process improvment in a virtual environment minimizes risk, and enables testing and refining before changes are made.
What is simulation?
Simulation is the process of modeling a system using specialized software to analyze, understand, and optimize the controlling factors of the system.

When should simulation be used?
There are several situations when process modeling and simulation can be extremely useful:
• When it is
impossible or impractical (either physically
or financially) to test the impact
of one or more
process changes. You avoid costly downtime when
there are capacity constraints.
• When there is
significant uncertainty regarding the
outcome of a particular change under
consideration.
You gain a true understanding of your system and
keep project risks at a minimum.
• When the system
has complex interactions which cannot
easily be understood using conventional
methods. You gain
confidence in your decisions in difficult situations when
conventional methods fail.
• When trial and
error is not an option. You avoid high
costs from making wrong decisions.
Benefits of Simulation
The main benefit of simulation is the ability to examine the
outcome
of alternative scenarios, designs, and plans without having to
implement the changes in real life, significantly reducing costs and risks.
Simulation allows a business to examine “what if” scenarios
within
a short timeframe, without making large capital investments, and without
interruption to existing operations.
Remember that the optimum solution is not always the obvious one!
What is the Process?
Modeling
ProSolve will work with you to document and understand the process to be modeled and simulated.
We collect and analyze process data, define busines rules and logic, and construct the framework in the simulation software.
Simulation
Next, we define the various input parameters and scenarios to be simulated.
We use the model will be used to simulate different scenarios and collect the resulting data.
Analysis
Finally, we compile, analyze and evaluate the results of the simulation to determine the most suitable action.
