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 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 [...]
Application Story There have been devastating pandemics in history. In 1350, The Black Death killed over 75 million people. The 1918 Flue pandemic killed 50 million. More recently Influenza claimed more than a million lives. In this article, you will see how ProcessModel optimization increases survivability by 25% during a severe pandemic. See how your chances [...]
Value Stream Mapping Will Slow Production, Increase Costs and Destroy your Company’s Profitability See the five process problems experienced by most companies, why they can’t be solved with Value-Stream Mapping (VSM), and how you can solve them with ease. Read on… […]
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. […]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The ProcessModel resource scheduler defines shifts for all staff and assets on a single page. It’s simple to use, provides visibility of all shifts and tracks the total hours assigned. […]
The Inbound Call Center Model Object automates the creation of complex models to represent the behavior of a call center. It uses named employees, shifts, and skill definition to simulate the behavior of an inbound call or service center. […]
ProcessModel Time Well, it's about time! No, really -- it's about time. ProcessModel just released a time study software for processes with many steps, occurring at multiple stations. It's easy-to-set-up, simple-to-use and designed specifically for ProcessModel. ProcessModel Time is ideal for capturing data for many stations at the same time. If you have a Windows laptop* [...]
