Hello. Under my M.Sc thesis i´m building a catalog of Simbits to address several characteristics of organizational/information-based business processes/workflows that can be difficult to represent in a simulation model.
One of the issues that arose was how to verify the Simbits, i.e, how to prove that the solution really does what i mention it does. For example, one common situation in workflow management systems is the ability of a human resource to redo some work-item (activity/task instance) after its completion. The technical approach in Simio involved a Server object to represent a given task and a Worker object to represent the human resource. The worker has a probability of redo entities at that Server. Therefore, my question is: What is the best approach to show that this solution really works? Using the animation capabilities of Simio with Plots, Pies, Status Labels? Using for example Tally Statistics to record how many times the Worker redone the task during simulation time? Using Experiments maybe?
I´m open to read your suggestions.
PS: After completing my work i would like to contribute with my Simbits. What i need to do?
