Dynamisis specializes in dynamic analysis of business operations. Our predictive analytics create actionable insights, using detailed computer models to show how processes and projects change over time. Bottlenecks, schedule slippage, resource competition and other complex challenges are highlighted both statistically and graphically. Process owners and project planners can point out potential problems to workers on the shop floor or demonstrate strategic conflicts to leaders in the executive suite. These dynamic models are then used to experiment with alternative solutions in a risk-free environment. Decision makers can move ahead with confidence that a solution will work because they have seen it in a realistic and predictive model.
Dynamisis uses the ProModel VAO methodology to help clients visualize, analyze and optimize their way to improved process performance and more effective project risk management.
We use a variety of powerful software tools to create detailed process models based on realistic activity times and resource constraints. These models also incorporate the elements of variability that often complicate process planning. As the models simulate process performance over time, computer animations help our clients visualize key issues (e.g., bottlenecks, resource conflicts, etc.) that limit output, increase cost or undermine customer service. We then analyze statistics collected on all aspects of process performance to identify areas for potential improvement. New ideas for process improvements are incorporated into the model to find those changes that will optimize system outcomes.
Dynamic models support a variety of process-improvement approaches, including Lean, Six Sigma, Process Reengineering, Theory of Constraints and Benchmarking. Our clients have found that animated models are ideal for communicating process knowledge throughout the organization—across disciplines, specialties and even cultures.
Advances in simulation technology have enabled dynamic analysis of projects to account for the risks associated with unexpected delays and resource competition. Using representative distributions to replace static activity times, project simulations help our clients visualize a range of possible completion dates and assess the impact of a shifting critical path. Multiple project initiatives can be simulated in parallel to analyze the impact of competition among projects on resource availability. Project planners can then optimize the selection, prioritization, sequence and scheduling of projects in a portfolio to meet strategic objectives.
Dynamisis endeavors to provide complete solutions carefully calibrated to our clients’ needs. Our services range from software sales and training to coaching, consulting and managed services.
We offer the full range of ProModel software products to support process improvement efforts and strategic planning of projects. In addition to helping clients select the tool best suited to individual requirements, we are also able to provide technical assistance and development support on custom applications such as project-specific user interfaces.
Dynamisis provides training in a variety of formats to meet client needs, including open courses, workshops and webinars. Our JumpStart program offers on-site training coupled with coaching services to help ensure the success of an initial project.
Our consultants help hundreds of clients around the world apply the power of dynamic models in dozens of industries. Based on a careful and in-depth needs assessment, we create realistic models that help clients visualize existing system performance. We then analyze process statistics to identify the causes of missed objectives. Finally, we work closely with the client to identify and validate feasible improvements to achieve an optimized process or project.
Dynamisis is able to provide simulation specialists on a long-term basis to support ongoing process improvement efforts. The specific skillset provided is based on client needs and schedules.
