![]() But I believe that it has it's place and can be very useful. One must think a little differently when using this software. You don't overtly see the total queue for example in front of a machine. It is not what I would call "location-based". I think some dissatisfaction with it may result from the fact that it takes a "process view" of things. Because I previously used ProModel, I have had great confidence in the software. Kommentare: I am very happy with Process Simulator. Finally, in many cases we would bring Process Simulator models into ProModel for debugging where it was more straightforward. Also, in contrast to ProModel, there is no realistic visualization of the modeled process. ![]() Therefore, the output results are problematic until all of the default values are changed and buffers removed. In Process Simulator, default values are automatically inserted when simulation properties are applied in addition to input and output buffers associated with each activity. ![]() Consequently, a great deal of time was spent troubleshooting initial models. The level of detail needed with respect to the amount and type of information to accurately define properties for activities, routing rules and arrivals was the same magnitude as needed for a simulation model using ProModel. Also, to accurately model scenarios, there is a significant amount of information needed to move from the purely Visio environment to the Process Simulator environment. This is not to suggest that Process Simulator can't handle more complex scenarios, just that I personally find ProModel more appropriate for highly dynamic and larger models.įirst of all, a working knowledge of Visio is very helpful, although not a prerequisite. It is ideal for use in a Quality, Six Sigma/Lean Process Optimization scenario. When compared to ProModel, Process Simulator is a superior product for modeling processes that can be illustrated using simple process flow charts. For students, the Quickstart and How To videos were very helpful allowing them to create fairly straightforward process flow diagrams in Process Simulator. I am a professor and teach both ProModel and Process Simulator to graduate students in a technical capstone class. Having an expert level background in ProModel and Visio, the learning curve for me was practically non-existent. ![]() Process Simulator is a phenomenal product. ![]()
