Description

This three-part series will walk through the process of process modeling, from initial data mining and analysis to distribution identification and examining the process with a value stream map. We will use this information to build a baseline discrete event simulation (DES) model using Process Playground™, validate the baseline model against the value stream map, and then use the new digital twin of the process to model improvements to the process and expansions to our product line.

Skills

Develop a foundational understanding of process modeling.

Comprehend the key components of a value stream map.

Construct a basic process model.

Effectively define the scope and timeline of what to model.

Identify and document sub-processes when modeling.

Determine the most suitable probability distributions and parameters for these processes.

Properly identify and characterize data distributions.

Accurately model variability in demand.

Formulate an optimal staffing plan based on process model results.

Explore additional opportunities for expansion and process improvement using simulation techniques.

Utilize modeling techniques like replenishment pull and forecasting for inventory management.
