Copilot for Simulation

Copilot for Simulation allows us to ask what-if questions to our AI chat interface in Process discoverer. Instead of manually discovering and adjusting models to explore ‘what-if’ scenarios, users can now simply Ask Apromore!

With Copilot for Simulation, we can ask questions such as:

  • What would happen if we add or remove resources from a role?

  • How would modifying the efficiency or performance of resources impact the process?

  • What changes would occur if we adjust the number of cases processed within a specific time frame?

  • How would changing the time required to complete an activity affect the process?

  • What is the impact of modifying waiting times before or after an activity?

  • How does adjusting the cost associated with a role influence the overall process cost?

  • What effects arise from changing the length of the simulation period? And so on.

To ask simulation questions, click Ask Apromore in Process discoverer.

Copilo002

This opens the chat interface. To ask simulation questions, toggle on Simulation.

For example, we can ask, ‘How would the average case duration change if a new case starts every six hours?’ Then press Enter.

Copilo004

Apromore Copilot will create a simulation scenario behind the scenes where a new case starts every 6 hours, then it will run the simulation and answer the question based on the simulation results.

Copilo005

We can probe further and ask why this is happening.

Copilo006

Copilo007

Copilot provides explanations for the increased average case duration.

Another example: ‘How would resource utilization for the Purchasing Agent role change if an additional resource were added?’

Copilo008

Copilot informs us that the resource utilization will decrease from 98% to 54%.
