Introduction to Process Modeling for Data-Driven Lean Design

Oct 30th, Nov 6th, and 13th | 3 Week Virtual Master Class | $300

This three-part series will walk through the process of process modeling, from initial data mining and analysis to distribution identification and examining the process with a value stream map. We will use this information to build a baseline discrete event simulation (DES) model using Process Playground™, validate the baseline model against the value stream map, and then use the new digital twin of the process to model improvements to the process and expansions to our product line.

Whether you're a complete novice with process modeling or have previously worked with other software, this series is a fun and informative way to learn more about process modeling, data analysis, and building validated models that mimic process reality.
