Process Modelling

CHALLENGES

Domain expert who need simulation require time consuming and expensive support from simulation expert in order to formulate executable simulation model

SOLUTION

The provided solution is to adapt the model-based approaches to the needs of the manufacturing domain:

• Design the production process on an overview level (following the recommendation of SCOR or VRM) to gain a common understanding and align infrastructure
• Document the production process as an organisational handbook and support continues improvement as modelling tools complement the features of pure Excel or other isolated tools
• Analyse and query the production process to apply the “business and IT alignment” also in the manufacturing domain, enabling decision makers on a higher level to influence the behaviour or technical tools and infrastructures
• Simulation support of production processes by introducing several modelling layers, in a similar way like workflows are modelled on different layer to reduce the complexity

BENEFITS

Full fletched modelling tool – providing a repository and processing capabilities – in the domain of manufacturing to support decision support in a knowledge-based way. Unique items are integrative approach, inclusion of knowledge workers
