sycat Process Analyser

Process analysis and simulation with appraisal of potentials of business processes

sycat Process Analyser integrates elements of the innovative solution which has been in constant development with our collaboration partners SDZ over the last 20 years. Existing modelled process chains are carried over at the touch of a button. Subsequently the results are output in Excel or in Word. With the aid of the outputs, for example in the form of diagrams, you will spot all the bottlenecks to be evaluated.

Alongside the classic analyses such as processing times and through-put times, you have the facility to create outputs about wait times. Therefore you can, as early as in the run up, by avoiding excess, critical friction points and over-long wait times, exploit the total potential, in order to make your day-day planning as efficient as possible. You can go from the sycat Process Designer to graphically animated simulation in only two work steps with the sycat Process Analyser. As early as during simulation, the tasks are presented as graphic animations in the process model; During the ongoing simulation of the task or of the object, the run is presented in colour according to status to show waiting position, processing or forwarding. If slack flow occurs in a process run of tasks or objects the functions are shown similarly highlighted.

Simulation of process runs with localisation of bottlenecks and weak spots by bottleneck analyses

More than twenty freely definable evaluations are possible. For example:

• IST configuration of a business process run
• Efficiency of a business process run
• IST configuration of a task/object
• Flow rate of a task/object

Planning of staff capacities

A detailed analysis of staffing needs is possible with the aid of a simulation with sycat Process Analyser. The number of hours to be fulfilled for the successful implementation of a task is displayed. Subject to the annual working hours and the number of tasks per year, verified values for planning for staffing needs can be taken as a basis.

Process Analysis

• differentiation of times in times of processing and set-up of personnel and systems and in store and transport times
• systematic compilation of process costs through distinction into transaction and time relevant costs with free definable types of costs
• cost analysis of personnel and total costs with transaction and time relevant partitioning of costs in consideration of possibility of occurances at branching, frequencies and times
• running time analysis of the processes for actual and/or target-times
• expenditure time analysis of the processes for actual and/or target-times
• comparison of expenditure and running time analysis of two process chains
• the functionality of the „road calculation“ of a process within sycat Process Analyser provides all relevant information concerning real costs as well as expenditure- and running times

Features

• variable inducement of processes also during simulation
• evaluation of process optimisations and -changes in respect to different criteria (e.g. costs, times, resources)
• Identify non-executable processes quickly by exposing bottlenecks and weak points
• appraisal of dynamic system performance (stability & flexibility of process chain)
• consideration of improved performance of future processes
• determination of necessary personnel capacity as well as personnel qualification
• comprehension of complex interrelationships with reduced input of time and operating expenditures
• dynamic evaluation of new target processes
• analysis of different scenarios / handling situations
• precise & significant key data for process analysis
• export of results for presentations

Added Value and Use

• recognition and quantifying shortages in resources at an early stage
• quick localisation of cost- and time intensive sections in processes
• effective optimisation of processes with immediately visible results concerning lead-time and costs
• integrated and continuous process observation
• immediate calculation and presentation of cost and time relevant changes within the process
• protection of the process chain (process reliability)
•  early conclusions about the conduct of development processes

sycat Family Philosophy

We offer many useful add-on modules to accommodate your individual requirements. Depending on the analysis focus we may recommend diverse add-on modules to implement your i.e. quality management- or reengineering-projects in a systematic and structured manner.
