Course Description
The process modeling course is designed as a complement to all the other project management
courses to allow the project manager to understand the significance of process flow diagrams
and the simulation of process flow diagrams in depicting the success of processes as it results
in generating the right product at the right time.
This course is a combination of two courses, process flow mapping and simulation. It includes tips and tricks to create process flow diagrams from scratch as well as using the industry standard simulation software that allows for the simulation of processes and their interaction with various systems within a project.
The
process modeling course helps you reveal hidden relationships in your process, find trouble
spots, conduct risk-free experimentation, communicate your ideas quickly, find the projects that
will provide the highest overall return, and more.
