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. […]
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 [...]

ProcessModel can open a model, import data, simulate, and download the results to Excel. These new features allow enhanced modeling capabilities, and allow decision makers to have a 'one-click' [...]
Software Testing Optimization
Figuring out how to balance resources for a software testing process can be overwhelming. Software components have different levels of complexity, which require different processing times. Different skill levels of resources, further modify the time to process. The order in which the components are scheduled provides additional complexity. Rework loops increase the level of difficulty. [...]

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 [...]
It’s a Pandemic – Were All Going to Die!
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 [...]
