Simulation
is an experiment
with
a
model
replicating the
real
world system.
The
reason why using simulation in this paper is:
1. Cheaper and less risky than experimenting with the actual system
2. Stimulates creativity since it is easy to test the effect of new ideas
3. A powerful complement to the traditional symbolical and analytical tools
4. It provides a quantitative measure
5. It is flexible (it can handle any kind of complex system)
6. It usually requires a substantial amount of data gathering
7. Easy to misrepresent reality and draw faulty conclusions
8. It
is a fun tool to work with
Thus, a simulation model is primarily descriptive while an optimization
model
is
by
nature
prescriptive.
Many
benefits
offered
through
building
simulation
modeling and analyzing business process such as it can represent different sample
parameter values in arrival rates or service interval that help to identify workshop
process bottlenecks and provide
a
graphical
display of process
models
interactively
and animatedly in order to show the dynamic of XYZ business processes. Business
process
modeling
tools
are
continuously
being
released
on
the
software
market
such
as ARIS toolkit, IDEF, Meta Workflow Modeler, Process Mapping, Visio, and Work
Smart Analysis. Simulation modeling offers wider opportunities for understanding
business process. Moreover, with the help of Extend simulation software tools, the
dynamic
models
such
as
build
up
queue
of
business
process can be shown visually.
This will enable next generation to develop creative ideas to redesign current
business process that usually
focus on
the analysis aspects of a company;
