From the Analysis tab of Governance, you can edit, analyse all Process Analysis information. From here, you can also produce a Process Analysis report dynamically generated from the existing Process Analysis information.
What EPC objects have Process Analysis information?
All Process, Sub Processes, and their Flow Objects
Who can edit Process Analysis information?
You must have EPC Modeler privilege, and have Write permissions on the Process.
What is Process Analysis?
Process analysis involves the measurement of Process activity Costs, Human Resources, Executions, and Durations. Below is a table with the names, descriptions and format/option of each process analysis attribute.
Analysis Attribute | Description | Format / Option |
---|---|---|
Path | If the process or activity is on the Critical (longest) path and/or on the High Risk Path | None, Critical, High-Risk |
Value Type | An activity can be either Value-Added (VA), Value Enabling (VE), or Non Value-Added (NVA) | Value-Added (VA) (default), Value Enabling (VE), Non Value-Added (NVA) |
Waste Type (available if Value Type = VE or NVA) | Indicates what factor is responsible for creating waste | None, Defects, Inventory, Motion, Over Processing, Over Production, Skills, Transport, and Waiting |
Number of Operators | The average number of Human Resource Operators execute this process in a given period | Input a whole number |
Number of Executions | The average number of executions of this activity are performed in a given period | Input a whole number |
Actual Cost | The Actual Cost of executing this process once | Input a dollar amount with up to 2 decimal places |
Processing Time | The average duration of time consumed by Processing for the activity | Input a duration in format DDDD HH:MM:SS |
Waiting Time | The average duration of time consumed by Waiting during the activity | Input a duration in format DDDD HH:MM:SS |
Inventory Time | The average duration of time consumed by Inventory acquisition or stocking during the activity | Input a duration in format DDDD HH:MM:SS |
Transport Time | The average duration of time consumed by Transporting objects or people during the activity | Input a duration in format DDDD HH:MM:SS |
Change Over Time | The average duration of time consumed by Change Over between operators for the activity | Input a duration in format DDDD HH:MM:SS |
Edit Process Analysis information
- Access the Governance Analysis Tab
- Find the Process or Flow Object for which you wish to edit Process Analysis information
- You can use Sorting and Filtering to help you isolate the object
- You can edit the following column cells by hovering your cursor in the desired cell and clicking within
- Path
- Value Type
- Waste Type
- # of Operators
- # of Executions
- Actual Cost
- Average Process Time
- Average Waiting Time
- Average Inventory Time
- Average Transport Time
- Average Inventory Time
Process Analysis Report
The Process Analysis Report is a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) report dinamically generated based on the Process Analysis data for all Flow Objects within a process. The report produces 3 sheets within the file, one for general analysis, one for the Critical Path, and one for the High Risk Path.
Generate a Process Analysis Report
- Access the Governance Analysis Tab
- Find the Parent Process for which you wish to generate the Process Analysis Report
- You can use Sorting and Filtering to help you isolate the object
- Click on the Calculator Icon to the left of the Parent Process
- The report will be generated by EPC and downloaded by your internet browser
