Discover insights on why simulation belongs in your design platform rather than in process mining tools, as J-M Erlendson and Roland discuss essential outcomes and types of simulation.
A new podcast episode of What’s Your Baseline was published on Apr 25, 2022:
Overview:
This episode discusses the importance of integrating Process Simulation into design platforms rather than viewing it solely as a feature of Process Mining tools. Key aspects such as simulation types, required inputs, and potential outcomes are highlighted to enhance business process management.
Core content:
- Process Simulation is essential for creating various future scenarios by adjusting process parameters and predicting outcomes.
- Integration of simulation within the solution lifecycle promotes comprehensive analysis beyond data extraction from Process Mining tools.
- Various types of simulations include discrete event simulation and Monte Carlo simulation, accommodating different operational needs.
- Successful simulation outcomes include identification of bottlenecks, resource allocation insights, and optimization recommendations.
Learnings:
- Understanding key parameters is essential for effective process simulation, influencing outcomes and resource management strategies.
- Being clear on objectives before simulation enhances efficiency and outcome relevance in Bottleneck analysis and optimization.
- Process Mining tools are beneficial as data sources but should not replace comprehensive simulation tools necessary for effective process design.
- Simulations provide valuable statistical outputs, aiding in decision-making about resource allocation and operational improvements.
