Business value

Process simulations allow you to simulate the impact of proposed changes in your business processes. Modeled changes include resource management and updates in a process flow. A process simulation compares performance and financial key performance indicators (KPIs) between original and simulated processes.

Feature details

Process simulations allow you to model various scenarios, run the simulation based on an existing process, and compare the simulation results with the original process (for example, duration of cases, and cost of cases).

You can model the following proposals by:

• Managing resources: Add and remove users, and change the performance and cost per resource.
• Managing durations and wait times for activities in business processes.
• Managing process flow: Define follow-up activities and their distribution.
• Managing working hours and timetables.

Simulation results offer a summary of global KPIs per process and detailed insights to analyze the impact of each activity.
