Visual Paradigm how to create BPMN process simulation, I believe that many inexperienced people do not know what to do, so this paper summarizes the causes of the problem and solutions, through this article I hope you can solve this problem.

Simulation is a technology that helps business analysts simulate the execution of business processes to study resource consumption (such as human resources, equipment, etc.) throughout the process. identify bottlenecks and improve the current business through process optimization and resource reallocation. Simulation is a tool that can help you perform the simulation. It includes not only visual simulation function, but also chart generation function. In this tutorial, we will examine the business process that performs a physical examination and use simulation tools to identify changes that might make the process more effective.

1. Download Body Check.vpp. You can also find this file at the bottom of this tutorial.

two。 Open the downloaded .vpp file in Visual Paradigm. To open the project, select Project > Open from the application toolbar.

3. Open the business flowchart for a physical examination cycle.

4. The research process. The figure simulates the current process of performing a physical examination at a health center. First, the receptionist handles the customer's registration, then the nurse checks the customer's blood pressure, the X-ray expert tests the client's lung function, and finally the physical examiner prepares a report and submits it to the user.

Now, we want to know the answers to the following questions and which simulations can help you:

How long does it take to complete a process?

What is the best allocation of resources such as employees (such as experts), rooms (such as conference rooms), or equipment / machines (such as X-ray machines)?

Is this process suitable for a large number of customers?

5. In order to run the simulation, we need to provide additional information to the business flowchart, such as the current resource consumption and the duration of each activity. Select Modeling > Simulation from the application toolbar. The Simulation Control Panel is displayed for you to set simulation details, such as resource consumption and activity duration.

7. The lung function test needs to be carried out in the X-ray room. Select the task "Test Lung function" in the figure. On the Simulation Control Panel, click add to get the necessary resources, and then select X-ray Room from the pop-up menu. Keep the number at 1 because only one room is needed for lung function testing.

9. We also need to set the duration for each task to be completed. Select task process registration. Set its duration to 3 on the Simulation Control Panel, which means it takes 3 minutes to complete the registration process.

11. Channels such as receptionists and nurses are participants in the physical examination process. They are also resources that can affect the efficiency of the process. We need to set the number of lanes per lane. Select the lane receptionist in the figure, and then set the instance to 1 on the Simulation Control Panel. This means that only one receptionist will participate in the process.

13. Click display Scheme on the Simulation Control Panel. The scene is the way that runs through the whole process. If the process contains gateways, you can define multiple scenarios to represent situations where different paths are executed due to branches.

14. Take this process as an example. Click add to add an input named Peak hour, with 10 as an example. This means that during peak hours, 10 customers will need to have a physical examination. With this setting, the path (as shown in the path list) will be executed 10 times during the process simulation.

16. Study the simulation results. The following are descriptions of some key areas that you should pay attention to:

17. It seems that the simulation process is a little too fast. Click stop. Change the scale to 10 minutes, and then play it again.

19. Now, we need to decide how to improve the process. Since the bottleneck lies in the lung function test, we need to decide how to speed up. We can perform several possible actions:

Reduce the duration of pulmonary function tests

Hire more experts to share the workload

Because the duration of the correct lung function test is fixed, the first operation is impossible. We will take the second action.

20. Select the lane X-ray expert and change the instance from 1 to 2.

23. Let's hire another physical examiner to help you. Select the swimming lane "physical examiner" and change the instance from 1 to 2.

25. Simulate again.

twenty-six。 Now it takes 50 minutes to complete the whole process. Compared with the original process, these improvements reduce the operation time by a total of 30 minutes.

There are other possible solutions rather than hiring more people. For example, we can computerize the process by not showing the report to the customer, but printing it out, adding a clear description to each selected project, and then letting the customer read it. We may also buy advanced X-ray machines to speed up the lung function test process. Instead of recommending a solution for you, Simulation allows you to easily implement improved ideas by updating chart content and resource allocation, and provides you with charts to show the effects of the changes to help you determine the best solution.

twenty-seven。 Sometimes, just looking at the simulation results is not enough to identify bottlenecks, especially if the diagram is large and there are many bottlenecks. In this case, you can generate a chart for the simulation results, which helps to quantify the resource consumption and queue time for each activity. Click the simulation diagram in the simulation control panel.

twenty-nine。 Open the resource usage page. The chart here shows the level of resource consumption. In this example, both the X-ray room and the conference room are fully utilized (100%) in this process, which is ideal. However, if you try to add 3 or 4 available X-ray rooms and look at the chart, you will find that peak utilization will be less than 100% because some rooms are idle throughout the process. By studying this chart, you can adjust the amount of resources you want to apply to the process.
