Overview:

This System Dynamics model operationalizes the dynamic, reciprocal relationships between Subjective Culture, Self-construal, and Goal Orientation across developmental time.

Key Pathways Tested:

Culture→Goals & Self→Goals: Goal Orientation is calculated as a weighted composite where Alignment determines whether goals are internally or externally generated.
Culture→Self: Macro-level direct cultural socialization pulls Self-Construal toward cultural norms over developmental time (tmacro=18).
Goals→Self: Reciprocal feedback from goal pursuit reshapes Self-Construal, with the feedback rate moderated by Alignment ( cultural goodness-of-fit).

This is a demonstration of a one acre strawberry farm, covering the revenue of the strawberries, the initial capital as well as the startup cost. This model goes into detail about the workings of the operation, with the workers, insurance, and gas per year. Allowing a better sense of what is required for a farm.

While Knowledge-Centered Support is rather easy to understand and has amazing potential realizing that potential seems to be quite elusive.

This simulation allows you to compare different approaches to influence flow, the Flow Times and the throughput of a work process.

By adjusting the sliders below you can

observe the work process without any work in process limitations (WIP Limits),
with process step specific WIP Limits* (work state WIP limits),
or you may want to see the impact of the Tameflow approach with Kanban Token and Replenishment Token
or see the impact of the Drum-Buffer-Rope** method.

* Well know in (agile) Kanban

** Known in the physical world of factory production

The "Tameflow approach" using Kanban Token and Replenishment Token as well as the Drum-Buffer-Rope method take oth the Constraint (the weakest link of the work process) into consideration when pulling in new work items into the delivery "system".

You can also simulate the effects of PUSH instead of PULL.

Feel free to play around and recognize the different effects of work scheduling methods.

The work flow itself

Look at the simulation as if you would look on a kanban board.

The simulation mimics a "typical" software delivery process.

From left to right you find the following ten process steps.
