Process Simulator

Now you can quickly and easily simulate MicrosoftR VisioR flowcharts, Value Stream Maps and workflow diagrams. Process Simulator installs as a plug-in to Visio, allowing you to seamlessly create and run simulation models inside Visio. It is a simple, predictive, productivity improvement tool that has the potential to change your future.


If you try to play the video, it tells you don't have the appropriate decompressor?
 Download and install TSCC.EXE on your computer.  You only need to run and install TSCC.EXE once.

If the video doesn't play or freezes on my computer?
Download and install CAMPLAY.EXE.  Only use CAMPLAY.EXE to play the video.  To load a video, load CAMPLAY.EXE, then click FILE -> OPEN and choose the video file.
 
As Easy As 1,2,3!
 
1. Create a new flowchart model or add simulation properties to an existing flowchart directly in Visio!

 
2. Press play and watch your model run with realistic animation
 
3. View Dynamic Model Output Metrics
and Run "What Ifs" in Visio

Process Simulator Applications Include:
 

Business Process Re-Engineering

Build As-Is and To-Be Workflow Models and understand Time Based Quantitative impacts of changes quickly. Predict resource requirements, capital equipment investments, process times, service levels and more!!!!

LEAN and Value Stream Mapping

Capture Value Stream Maps in Visio and see what performance gains you can expect before implementing actual changes. Simulate alternative scenarios to understand which LEAN project will give the biggest benefit.

Six Sigma Projects

Test the impact of variability on a process and understand the impact of reducing the
variability on Six Sigma metrics ¡X all in Visio.
