A Systems Archetype has a very well defined structure that produces a characteristic pattern of behavior and there are well defined strategies for dealing with the structure.

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. 
  1. Input Queue (Backlog)
  2. Selected for work (waiting for analysis or work break down)
  3. Analyse, break down and understand
  4. Waiting for development
  5. In development
  6. Waiting for review
  7. In review
  8. Waiting for deployment
  9. In deployment
  10. Done

Ahora realice un modelo de dos poblaciones acopladas, incorporando un depredador del guanaco como puede ser el puma. Defina todo lo necesario para poder correr el modelo. Resuma en gráficos y tablas los principales resultados de la dinámica de la población de guanacos para este nuevo modelo.

d.        Si bajo el contexto actual de calentamiento global es esperable que en los próximos 50 años, haya un aumento en las temperaturas extremas que podrían impactar en una mayor demanda atmosférica, realice simulaciones que incrementen la ETP en un 5, 10 y 15%. Realice las simulaciones respectivas y evalúe su impacto sobre la variable de estado.
