Computer WorkGroup Training

An Introduction to

Process Simulations

Course Title : Intensive Workshop in Process Simulation using iGrafx Professional and Process

Duration : 1 Day

Pricing : Basic - 1 person $750, 2 people $850 for both (see pricing page for full details)

Pre-requisites : Introduction to Windows or equivalent experience.

For Whom: The course is intended for people who prepare process maps, investigate ways to enhance business procedures and who run simulations to see the effect on a process of changing conditions.

Course Objectives: At the conclusion of the training participants will be able to -

  • Create process maps
  • Format the shapes to suit specific needs
  • Assign resources to processes
  • Run processes over multiple departments
  • Set transaction attributes
  • Define monitors for the process simulation

  • iGrafx Process only:
  • Generate a process simulation run
  • Generate reports on the transactions, resources and activities
  • Generate charts to enhance the reports
