Hello Community,
I have a basic question regarding the business process simulation:
I'm dealing with the ARIS business process simulation for some weeks now, I am still a beginner and I keep learning every day. But I don't see the logical difference between the simulation experiment and the normal simulation run.
As far as I know by now, the simulation experiment (with or without factors) just show the process with all the values (processing time, throughput time, waiting time etc.) in THEORY... like the expected outcome of the process when everything works 100% perfect and there is no unforeseen event, whereas the simulation run actually shows the REAL world. I really don't know if I got that right, because I never found basic arguments regarding the difference of these two features.
It would be great if an advanced user could explain that to me in a little more detail.
Thanks! :)
A simulation experiment provides you with an easy way to define and run multiple scenarios through factor variation. With the "regular" simulation you'd have to do this by hand.
See also the section "Optimize and control processes --> Simulate processes --> Valuable information --> Experiments" in the ARIS help system.
