One-Case Simulation

Read how to use the one-case simulation function in SAP Signavio Process Manager. With the One-case simulation function you can simulate one specific case and analyze costs and the time consumption for that case.

With the one-case simulation function you can simulate one specific case and analyze costs and the time consumption for that case.

Before running the one-case simulation, configure a scenario on which the simulation is based on. Read the Managing simulation scenarios section.

During the simulation, the simulation tiles display the overall costs, total cycle time and resource consumption at the current position in the process (left column) and of the complete previous run (right column). The bottleneck tile is only relevant for multiple-case simulations.

  • Cycle time: Refers to the amount of time between start and completion of a process while

  • Resource consumption is the overall time process participants committed to process execution.

Run the One-Case Simulation

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the BPMN simulation tool. Read the Access the BPMN simulation tool section.

  2. Select the One case function.

  3. Select a scenario and click Play.

    The BPMN Simulator automatically goes through the process flow step-by-step.

  4. When passing an exclusive (XOR) gateway, select the next sequence flow. If you don't select the next path, the simulation continues and selects a path automatically (based on the probabilities given) when the timer symbol on the top right of the element completes.
