SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the exploration of how a value stream performs under different scenarios, helping teams identify bottlenecks and optimize flow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature Definition: Create reusable simulation scenarios for value streams.
  • Engine & Visualization: Pure functions compute state transitions and a visualization component renders results.
  • Use Case: Compare multiple scenarios (e.g., different batch sizes or staffing levels) to predict lead times and throughput.

Quick Start

Define a feature file that captures your simulation scenario, then execute it with /run-simulation <feature-name> to see the results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I simulate a value stream to identify bottlenecks?

To simulate a value stream, define a feature file capturing your scenario and execute it to run the simulation. The engine computes state transitions to identify bottlenecks and visualize flow performance results.

How does value stream scenario analysis work for optimizing manufacturing flow?

Value stream scenario analysis works by using an immutable tick-based engine to compute state transitions across different configurations. It compares variables like batch sizes or staffing levels to predict lead times and throughput.

Can I compare multiple value stream scenarios with different batch sizes?

Yes, you can compare multiple value stream scenarios by defining reusable feature files with different batch sizes or staffing levels. The simulation results analyzer evaluates these scenarios to predict and optimize lead times and throughput.

What is the best way to visualize value stream simulation results?

The best way to visualize value stream simulation results is by using the built-in visualization component. It renders the computed state transitions from the tick-based engine, allowing you to clearly see bottlenecks and flow performance metrics.

Do I need any external dependencies to run value stream simulations?

No external dependencies are required to run value stream simulations. The skill operates independently using pure functions to compute state transitions and extensible architecture for configuration, visualization, and reporting.

How do I configure a value stream simulation engine for software development processes?

You configure the simulation engine by creating a feature specification file that captures your software development value stream parameters. The immutable engine processes these configurations to compute state transitions and visualize results.
