In order to understand the requirements of people engaged in business process simulation (BPS), a survey was conducted among potential business process simulation users. The survey had a 37% response rate and revealed a low usage of simulation in the design, modification and improvement of business processes. It confirms that BPS projects are typically short, relatively non-technical, and rely on good project management for their success. Most BPS users employ general-purpose simulation software rather than purpose-designed business process simulators. There is no evidence of a skills gap, rather a feeling that there is no net gain from employing simulation methods when simpler methods will suffice. These findings are discussed and conclusions drawn. |
