Simulation-relevant model types

ARIS provides numerous models that can be evaluated when simulating your processes. The following models can be included in the simulation of processes:

EPC model types

Process models

Model type	Use
EPC EPC (column display) EPC (horizontal table display) EPC (material flow) EPC (row display) EPC (table display) Industrial process Office process PCD PCD (material flow)	Represent the chronological-logical procedural sequence of business processes. Processes are represented using control flow objects and control flow connections. The allocation of human, material and capacity resources to various activities also takes place within the process models.

Auxiliary models

Business controls diagram	Displays potential risks and risk control methods for a process or function.
Event diagram	Offers an easy way to synchronize various logically associated start events for processes.
Function allocation diagram	Represents the input and output data of functions or the human resources carrying them out for a transparent design of the process models.
Organizational chart	Maps the organizational structures of your company in detail and provides information on the employees who carry out functions. This enables you to determine exactly which position or person is involved in carrying out a function.

BPMN

Process models

Model type	Use
BPMN collaboration diagram (BPMN 2.0)	Represents control and message flows between partners involved in collaborative processes.
BPMN process diagram (BPMN 2.0)	Represents control flows.
Enterprise BPMN collaboration diagram	Represents control and message flows between partners involved in collaborative processes.
Enterprise BPMN process diagram	Represents control flows.

Auxiliary models
