Innovation of Business Processes by Means of Computer-Aided Simulation

Abstract

"If you don't innovate, you will not survive.This statement has been especially true over the last century. The most critical factor is the speed of implementation of the particular innovation. High demands on the quality of process control, more and more require the use of supporting tools that enable us to get complex and detailed analysis of the process. For this reason attention is being paid to computer-aided simulation tools. Use of computer-aided simulation is still not as widespread as might be expected nowadays. However, expanded use of this tool is only a matter of time. This statement is confirmed by experience from many innovation projects, where the application of such computer-aided simulation tools was not only advantageous, but even necessary. This article deals with the application of computer-aided simulation in the field of process innovation. The particular case study shows the benefits of computer-aided simulation and the necessity of the connection and integration with the traditional methods (descriptive or analytical). It describes concisely the innovation process for an example of a JIT assembly (Just in Time). The traditional methods (ABC analysis and analysis of the activities that do not add value - Non Business Value) only partially solved the task of the project. To complete it and find the right solution, it was necessary to use dynamic analysis using computer-aided simulation. In conclusion, further opportunities to use computer-aided simulation in this field are being outlined.
