Profit PAL No. TimeView PAL No. Process simulation is the method of building and using a time based visual model which emulates every significant step that occurs in a process and every significant interaction between resources in a process so as to gain insight about the impact of potential decisions on that process.
Different people working in different fields define simulation in different ways.
For example, in the aircraft industry simulation means flight simulators, which help pilots train to fly new types of aircraft. Simulation lets you explore an electronic model of the project you manage - whether the project is a factory, or a hospital, or an administrative center, or anything else you manage. The type of model process simulation analyses is time-based and takes into account all the resources and constraints involved in the process, as well as the way all these things interact with each other as time passes. The model can match reality - so something you try in the model will behave the same way as it would in the real organization. With process simulation you can quickly try out your ideas at a fraction of the cost of trying them on the real organization.
