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.

This model is derived from the paper "Nobody Ever Gets Credit for Fixing Problems that Never Happened: Creating and Sustaining Process Improvement" by Nelson P. Repenning and John D Sterman. See Insight 752 for a causal loop version of this model.

SARS-CoV-19 spread in different countries

- please adjust variables accordingly

Italy

elderly population (>65): 0.228
estimated undetected cases factor: 4-11
starting population size: 60 000 000
high blood pressure: 0.32 (gbe-bund)
heart disease: 0.04 (statista)
free intensive care units: 3 100

Germany

elderly population (>65): 0.195 (bpb)
estimated undetected cases factor: 2-3 (deutschlandfunk)
starting population size: 83 000 000
high blood pressure: 0.26 (gbe-bund)
heart disease: 0.2-0.28 (herzstiftung)
free intensive care units: 5 880

France

elderly population (>65): 0.183 (statista)
estimated undetected cases factor: 3-5
starting population size: 67 000 000
high blood pressure: 0.3 (fondation-recherche-cardio-vasculaire)
heart disease: 0.1-0.2 (oecd)
free intensive care units: 3 000

As you wish

numbers of encounters/day: 1 = quarantine, 2-3 = practicing social distancing, 4-6 = heavy social life, 7-9 = not caring at all // default 2
practicing preventive measures (ie. washing hands regularly, not touching your face etc.): 0.1 (nobody does anything) - 1 (very strictly) // default 0.8
government elucidation: 0.1 (very bad) - 1 (highly transparent and educating) // default 0.9
Immunity rate (due to lacking data): 0 (you can't get immune) - 1 (once you had it you'll never get it again) // default 0.4

Key

Healthy: People are not infected with SARS-CoV-19 but could still get it
Infected: People have been infected and developed the disease COVID-19
Recovered: People just have recovered from COVID-19 and can't get it again in this stage
Dead: People died because of COVID-19
Immune: People got immune and can't get the disease again
Critical recovery percentage: Chance of survival with no special medical treatment

World4 is a predictive model for world population. Population has grown hyper-exponentially in the last millenium, with the doubling time decreasing from 900 years in 1000 CE to a minimum of ~35 years in 1963 CE. Technology is defined as that which decreases the death rate and/or increases the effective birth rate (i.e. by decreasing infant mortality). Technology grows exponentially, therefore population fits a hyper-exponential (exponent within an exponent). Models for the end of growth are explored using equations that express the ways humans are depleting Earth's biocapacity, the nature of resource depletion, and the relationship between natural resources and human carrying capacity. This simple model, containing just two closed systems, captures the subtle shifts in the population trajectory of the last 50 years. Specifically, hyperexponential growth has given way to subexponential growth. A peak is predicted for the time around 2028. [Bystroff, C. (2021).
