Business Process Simulation for Operational Decision Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contemporary business process simulation environments are geared towards design-time analysis, rather than operational decision support over already deployed and running processes. In particular, simulation experiments in existing process simulation environments start from an empty execution state. We investigate the requirements for a process simulation environment that allows simulation experiments to start from an intermediate execution state. We propose an architecture addressing these requirements and demonstrate it through a case study conducted using the YAWL workflow engine and CPN simulation tools.

Workflow Simulation for Operational Decision Support using YAWL and ProM
Simulation is widely used as a tool for analyzing business processes but is mostly focused on examining rather abstract steady-state situations. Such analyses are helpful for the initial design of a business process but are less suitable for operational decision making and continuous improvement. Here we describe a simulation system for operational decision support in the context of workflow ma...

This study presents the development of a decision support tool for a container terminal in Panama, located at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. The rapid growth of containerized cargo movement in international terminals in the country has also increased the complexity in strategic and tactical decision making, affecting operational decisions as well. Therefore, the Business Process Mode...
