Flow | Insight Maker

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.

Kanban Board Simulation - WIP Limit, Tameflow Kanban Token and Drum-Buffer-Rope

8 9 months ago

This simulation allows you to compare different approaches to influence flow, the Flow Times and the throughput of a work process. The simulation is described in the blog post "Starting late - The Superior Scheduling Approach - How, despite being identical, one company delivers almost 10 times the value of its competitor using flow-oriented project initiation."

By adjusting the slider 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),
with Kanban Token and Replenishment Token based on the Tameflow approach (a form of drum-buffer-rope)
with Drum Buffer Rope** scheduling method.

This simulation mimics the flow of projects through an organization. The organization consists of teams that idependently or collaboratively work on projects. Many of the projects have a mulit-team dependency.
