Business Process Modeling, Simulation and Design, Third Edition
provides students with a comprehensive coverage of a range of analytical
tools used to model, analyze, understand, and ultimately design business
processes.
The new edition of this very successful textbook includes a wide range
of approaches such as graphical flowcharting tools, cycle time and
capacity analyses, queuing models, discrete-event simulation,
simulation-optimization, and data mining for process analytics.
While most textbooks on business process management either focus on the
intricacies of computer simulation or managerial aspects of business
processes, this textbook does both. It presents the tools to design
business processes and management techniques on operating them
efficiently.
The book focuses on the use of discrete event simulation as the main
tool for analyzing, modeling, and designing effective business
processes. The integration of graphic user-friendly simulation software
enables a systematic approach to create optimal designs.
