Rockwell Arena Simulation Software Analyze a Home Mortgage Application Process in Arena By Terence James Haydock

Overview Introduction Task Arena’s Modelling Environment Create Application Entities Process the Applications Decide if the Applications are Complete Dispose the Applications and Terminate the Process Results Summary

Introduction With Arena, you can: Model your processes to define, document, and communicate. Simulate the future performance of your system to understand complex relationships and identify opportunities for improvement. Visualize your operations with dynamic animation graphics. Analyze how your system will perform in its “as-is” configuration and under a myriad of possible “to-be” alternatives so that you can confidently choose the best way to run your business.

Task We will examine a simple mortgage application process (with modules) to illustrate how you can model, simulate, visualize, and analyze with Arena. To begin, we’ll look at the process of receiving and reviewing a home mortgage application.

Arena’s Modelling Environment To model your process in Arena, you’ll work in three main regions of the application window. The Project Bar hosts panels with the primary types of objects that you will work with: Basic Process panel: Contain the modelling shapes, called modules, that you’ll use to define your process. Reports panel: Contains the reports that are available for displaying results of simulation runs. Navigate panel: Allows you to display different views of your model, including navigating through hierarchical submodels and displaying a model thumbnail.

Create Application Process Every process flow starts with a Create module. When you simulate the flowchart, individual entities will be created according to timing information you supply in the Create module properties. After it’s created, each entity moves from the Create module to the next shape in the process flow.

Process the Applications Next in our flowchart is a Process module that represents the Review Application step. 1. Be sure that the Create module is selected so that Arena will automatically connect the Process to the Create module. 2. Drag a Process module from the Basic Process panel into the model window, placing it to the right of the Create. Arena will automatically connect the two modules. As with the Create, the Process module has a default name that we’ll replace later. If your Create and Process weren’t connected automatically when you placed the Process, check the Object > Auto-Connect menu to verify that it’s checked. If it’s not, select it to turn on this option.

Decide if the Applications are Complete After the Process, we have a Decide module which determines whether the mortgage application is complete. 1. If you’re using the Auto-Connect feature (i.e., it’s checked on the Object > Auto- Connect menu), be sure that the Process module is selected so that the Decide module will be connected to it. 2. Drag a Decide module to the right of the Process module. If the mortgage application has a complete set of information, it will leave the Decide module from the right side of the diamond shape, representing the True condition. Incomplete applications (False result to the Decide test) will leave via the bottom connection.

Dispose the Applications and Terminate the Process Dispose the applications to terminate the process Next we’ll place the Dispose module that represents accepted applications, connecting to the True (right) output from the Decide shape. Then, we’ll complete the flowchart with another Dispose for returned applications. 1. Select the Decide shape so that our first Dispose will be connected automatically. 2. Drag a Dispose module to the right of the Decide module. Arena will connect it to the primary (True) exit point of the Decide module. (We won’t include a graphic display since you’re now familiar with the drag-and-drop sequence.) 3. To add the second Dispose module, once again select the Decide module, so that Arena will automatically connect its False exit point to the new Dispose module, and drag another Dispose module below and to the right of the Decide module. 4. Drag and drop another Dispose module, placing

Results Start the simulation run by clicking the Go button or clicking the Run > Go menu item. Arena first will check to determine whether you’ve defined a valid model, then will launch the simulation. As the simulation progresses, you’ll see small entity pictures resembling pages moving among the flowchart shapes. Also, a variety of variables change values as entities are created and processed, as illustrated below.
