The following videos cover a variety of Process Simulator topics.

Adding Connection Points To Activity or Entity Graphics

Connection points are the points on location or entity graphics that routing and arrival lines connect to. In this solution we show you how to add more connection point to your graphics.

 

Copying Attributes/Variables to Different Models

Process Simulator allows users to take parts of one model and copy them into another model.

Customer / Entity Waits Too Long and Leaves

This Process Simulator solution shows you how to create a model of a customer exiting the system because their wait time is too long. We use a call center model to illustrate the example.

 

Entity Priorities

Here we show you how to model different levels of entity priority and how to make lower priority entities queue up to wait for higher priority entities to be processed.

 

Entity Pull System Using Customer Order Attributes

This solution provides an example model where product entities are requested, based upon an attribute assigned to the "customer order." This activates the model to "Send" for different products.

 

How To Calculate Time Spent In An In Buffer or Out Buffer

You can define certain characteristics around your buffers. This solution shows you how to define how much time an entity spends in an activities "in buffer" or "out buffer."

How to Change the Size of a Visio Drawing Page (Background Grid)

If your model becomes too big to fit on the Visio drawing page, you can adjust the drawing page size. In this solution we show you how to do that.

 

How to License Process Simulator

This video shows the steps you need to license your PCS software.

How to Navigate to External Arrival Files

Process Simulator allows you to define arrivals in an external spreadsheet and then use that information in your model. This solution shows you how to do this.

 

Process Simulator Quickstart

Rochelle Price, our Training Director, shows you how to get started by building a very simple model in Process Simulator.

Sequence of Operations In a Process Simulator Activity

Knowing in what sequence things happen in your process is crucial to building accurate models. In this solution we explain the sequence of operations of a Process Simulator activity.

 

Setup Time for First Entity in Batch

This solution shows you how to set up an operation to be performed on the first entity within each batch.

Shift Carryover

If a resource's shift ends while processing an entity, that resource will automatically work overtime until the entity is finished processing. In this Process Simulator solution, we show you how to pass the entity on to the next resource that comes on in the next shift. This will prevent resources from working overtime.
