Modify Process Parameters with RapiDOE

Home > Getting Started > Six Sigma Functionality in iGrafx > Modify Process Parameters with RapiDOE

This functionality is only available in Process for Six Sigma and above.

In RapiDOE you can modify the values of certain process parameters. Some require additional setup to your model while others modify standard model metrics.

Use RapiDOE to define the number of resources available in a particular resource, the rate at which transactions enter your process, and attributes used to modify a model.

Process Parameter	Description
Resource allocations	RapiDOE automatically reads your model’s resource allocations and enables them as experimentation factors through the RapiDOE dialog box. No additional setup is required.
Generator interarrival time	RapiDOE automatically reads your model’s interarrival generators and enables them as experimentation factors through the RapiDOE dialog box. No additional setup is required.
Scenario Attributes (that control Activity-level metrics)	Scenario attributes and custom types require setup, and are used in the diagrams. Anywhere an expression is allowed a Scenario attribute may be used. You can see activity-level locations where attributes are used in the Properties dialog box: Inputs page–Collect Transactions at Input by Expression and by Count Resource page–Acquisition count Attribute page–Define attributes Task page (Step tab)–Duration and Cost Outputs page–Flow decision criteria

Process Parameter

Description

Resource allocations

RapiDOE automatically reads your model’s resource allocations and enables them as experimentation factors through the RapiDOE dialog box. No additional setup is required.

Generator interarrival time

RapiDOE automatically reads your model’s interarrival generators and enables them as experimentation factors through the RapiDOE dialog box. No additional setup is required.

Scenario Attributes (that control Activity-level metrics)

Scenario attributes and custom types require setup, and are used in the diagrams. Anywhere an expression is allowed a Scenario attribute may be used.

You can see activity-level locations where attributes are used in the Properties dialog box:

Inputs page–Collect Transactions at Input by Expression and by Count

Resource page–Acquisition count

Attribute page–Define attributes

Task page (Step tab)–Duration and Cost

Outputs page–Flow decision criteria
