MDG BPSim Execution Engine

Enterprise Architect gives you the ability to configure a BPSim simulation against a BPMN diagram. The BPSim capability offers the interested modeler and business strategist an unprecedented flexibility in assigning operational information to a model and then assessing the quality of the solution based on information received back from the Simulation engine.

This allows them to test ideas, identify optimal staffing ratios, experiment with probabilities, alter the timing and duration of events and eliminate bottlenecks, all before committing funds to project implementation.

MDG BPSim Execution Engine - Features

Current Features:

• Simulation: The Business Process Simulator provides unprecedented flexibility to configure and control the assignment of simulation parameters from different perspectives, including control, time and resources. Automate every aspect of the execution, from the date and time at which the process takes effect through to the number of times the scenario as a whole will be repeated in an execution cycle.
  
• Reporting: Understand how factors such as task duration or resource management may impact your underlying business model. Monitor a range of variables and observe how changes impact the success of the underlying business model.
  Each simulation configuration can be saved as a separate artifact. Enterprise Architect can highlight variances between reports, making it easier to draw conclusions and make decisions. Solve real world problems, identify bottlenecks, enhance resource allocation, improve scheduling and improve business outcomes before committing funds to a project.
  
• Charts and Graphs: Enterprise Architect uses charts and graphs to help visualize the results of various simulations. Report data can become input for a chart element. Compare and contrast the results from a base simulation and subsequent experiments. Stakeholders can easily draw conclusions from the corresponding charts. Visualize data from multiple report sources and customize the appearance to meet your individual needs. Charts and graphs help aid decision making and can bring your data to life.
