Monte Carlo Simulation
Purpose:
Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool that lets
you run "What If" scenarios on business processes that use complex variables
and interdependencies. The simulation model runs
in accelerated time to greatly reduce the risk associated with key business
decisions.
While companies
use many processes, usually a dozen or so are the most-critical. Managers
must understand these critical processes. Most organizations use some of the
following "macro" processes:
- Designing
products and services
- Marketing
and selling
- Producing
and delivering products or services
- Billing
- Servicing
customers
Your success
depends on flawless performance of these critical processes. Inefficient
processes degrade profits and customer satisfaction. Conversely, efficient
processes improve both profits and customer satisfaction.
Intended
Results: To
implement process modeling to show the "big picture," and show root cause
of problems.
Many companies
use "patch" solutions instead of finding root cause. However, it's more
effective to find root cause and solve the REAL problem: upstream errors that
cause downstream messes.
Process modeling
uncovers bottlenecks. It solves quality problems and reduces costs. It
expels needless steps and costly delays. The problems literally "jump off
the page."
You then
know the REAL problems and can apply REAL solutions -- instead of "patches."
Our LIVE-animation
process model shows it all!
- See flowcharts
come to life. See where, when, and in what quantity work arrives. See
the workflow. See resource assignments. See bottlenecks and idle
time. Discover ways to streamline your processes.
- See staff
requirements using real-life variability. See process changes. Test
and compare various staffing plans. Perform what-if analysis. Simulate
changes with low-cost impact. Schedule your staff, plan your shifts.
- See statistical
reports of resource usage. These reports help convey proposed changes
and ease implementation.
Structure:
In
our Needs Analysis, we'll show you how others use process modeling to streamline
their business to:
- Determine
and evaluate capacity
- Balance manufacturing
lines
- Identify
and manage bottlenecks
- Test new
scheduling practices
To create
a model, well need to
- Create a
flowchart you the current or intended process (this becomes the "model"
process).
- Create and
employ relevant data (arrival rates, execution times, probability models,
resource allocation, if-then scenarios, etc.).
- Run the model
- Observe throughput
activity animation
- Evaluate
reports showing resource loads, bottlenecks, etc.
- Iteratively
adjust and refine the model and run again.
