12.1.3.12.8 Simulation

An EPC Process Graph & a Scenario is all you need to start a Simulation

EPC delivers high performance business process simulations. It only takes a few seconds, using thousands of process instances to conduct a simulation. The simulation will provide you with the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of any scenario using a business process as well as the activity-based statistics related to each individual process. As an example, visualizing bottlenecks in a particular process can be achieved by creating a heat map.

It’s important to note that you will need a BPMN 2.0 notation business process model and a simulation scenario prior to conducting a simulation. For example:

- Providing the number of process instances to simulate
- Determine the arrival date
- Determine the resources needed and how many are available
- Determine the duration of the tasks, events and sub-processes etc.
