Analyze process costs

How to Analyze process costs

Perform a process cost analysis to examine the average costs, revenues and profits for all process instances in a simulation.

You need to run a simulation based on a process that you have modeled before you can do a process cost analysis.

Use this analysis when you want to examine process level costs and revenues for each generated process case. This analysis, like other process case analyses, may reveal unexpected results within specific process cases. For example, you may determine that the average profit in a particular process case is unacceptably low. As a result of reviewing the information that this analysis presents, you may decide that you need to modify a process model. You can also examine the cost results for specific process instances within a process case by running the process instance summary analysis and then the process instance cost analysis.

To analyze process costs, complete the following steps:
 
  1. In the Project Tree view, right-click the simulation result that you want to analyze, and then select Dynamic Analysis > Process Cases Analysis > Process Cost. A window appears.
  2. Select the type of process instances you want to include in the analysis:
    • Succeeded process instances only
    • Failed process instances only
    • All process instances
  3. Click Finish. The window closes.

 

Now you can view the results of the analysis in the Analysis view. You can also print a report of the results.
