IBM Certification Test 992.3 - Simulation
Demonstrate the effects of varying combinations of modeling syntax on simulation outputs
Simulation output is affected not only by the simulation settings that you set but also by the way you model your business process.
The following are some of the modeling syntax that affects simulation outputs:
The following are some of the modeling syntax that affects simulation outputs:
Costs for resources and roles
If you define costs for both resources and roles, the resource cost takes priority. Role cost is used only if no other cost is associated with the resource.
When you simulate a process containing an activity that has a requirement for a role, the resource cost of the activity is based on the cost of the qualified resource that is allocated to the activity. For example, if the Customer Service role has a cost of $25 an hour but the individual resource that is assigned to the activity, John Doe, has a cost of $22 an hour, the resource cost will be based on $22 an hour. If no cost is defined for the allocated resource, the role cost is used to determine the activity resource cost.

Resource Availability
By default, all resources defined in your project are available. Thus, your simulation output would be mis-leading if some or most of your resources have limited availability.
To control resource availability, you have to specifically set availability during simulation.
