Process simulation

Taking analysis one step further, simulation allows for the further refinement of business processes by using historical data combined with what-if scenarios to simulate and test business processes. An analyst can test different scenarios that could improve the business process before changing the process in a production environment.

Analysts create scenarios by using the Scenario Designer. The Scenario Designer is a tool that uses the same user interface paradigm as Process Designer. A scenario specifies parameters that are used to simulate the workflow, including timeframe, work arrival patterns, resource allocation, job duty creation, costing metrics, and work shift creation and assignment. Scenarios are saved into an object store so that they can be executed and refined over time.
