Testing Change - What if Scenarios

Key Benifits • Perform activity-based cost analysis • Analyze resource utilization • Identify bottlenecks • Run as a stand-alone simulation or an EPC integration • Run discrete event simulations

Avoid Costly Mistakes by Testing Change - Process reengineering can often be extremely costly to an organization when forecasted improvements prove to be insignificant.  It is often prudent to run simulations to determine the actual impact that recommended changes will have on company operations. A powerful tool is needed to give your consultants the quantitative data required to run a proper analysis and for your board of directors to make an informed business decision. Although data collection requires additional resources and time, it is often best to be “safe now, rather than sorry later.”

Run Dynamic What-If Scenarios with EPC Designer - The EPC Designer module allows you to run detailed simulations based on the process data that you captured in the EPC repository. Using our simulation tool you can build a realistic representation of your company and run dynamic what-if scenarios to test the integrity of your process design on multiple axes. Avoid process bottlenecks by analyzing activity durations and delays as well as by examining resources’ idle time . Perform a cost analysis of each activity or on a process as a whole to determine how costs can be reduced and optimized. Our simulation engine is built upon a framework that has been tested and refined over 15 years, ensuring that your simulations will meet a high standard of realism and accuracy. Furthermore, the EPC Designer is a fully functional stand-alone product, allowing consultants to work on multiple sites locally without needing to stay connected to the EPC database – providing additional flexibility and simplicity without sacrificing integration.

Front line Solution - Bird's Eye view BI

Key Benifits • Generate custom visual reports through simple drag-and-drop • Access valuable dashboards through the EPC Web portal • Gather real world performance metrics from the workflow engine • Report on any object in the EPC database

In order to make effective decisions regarding company strategies, business managers - require insight into company operations in order to conduct an analysis and plan for the organization’s future. A bird’s-eye view is required in order to gain the perspective necessary to enable effective planning by your management resources – but many managers do not always have access to the information they need when the time is right. A front-line solution is required to put company performance and statistical information at the fingertips of those who need it the most.

Get a Bird’s-Eye View with BI - By using a Business Intelligence (BI) reporting tool, your business analysts will be able easily communicate valuable analytics and company information to a broad range of management, which will enable your executives to effectively plan the future of your company. The EPC robust reporting engine (powered by Cognos®) allows users to build, customize and launch reports on the fly as well as regularly schedule and automate the delivery of reports to their inbox.  All data captured and managed within the EPC can be easily extracted into user specific reports, allowing managers the security to control the distribution of information across different levels of the organization.

The BI engine is integrated directly into the MyEPC Web Portal, which provides management with a personalized, real-time dashboard view of their business units’ operations and performance. Furthermore, the reporting tool is integrated with our workflow engine, gathering real-world statistical data on actual employee and IT systems performance, further enhancing the value of the dashboard data and putting much-needed data into the hands of your executives.
