Isee Systems iThink Pro 9.0.2

iThink offers a risk-free way to make decisions that drive business improvement. iThink guides you and your business team through the creation of models that simulate business processes and scenarios; pointing out the impacts of a new procedure or policy, and offering opportunity to fix undesirable outcomes. Based on Systems Thinking, iThink models serve as "practice fields", showing you outcomes that could be painful, costly, or embarrassing if discovered in reality.

Businesses must change to survive and grow. Why?

* Once productive processes bow to new competition
* New markets challenge current methods
* Government regulation compliance adds work and costs
* Labor market shifts inspire new employee recruitment and retention programs

Change implies risk. What if the change doesn’t work?

What if things get worse? If the pilot project fails, what do we try next?

Key Features
Mapping and Modeling

* Intuitive icon-based graphical interface simplifies model building
* Stock and Flow diagrams support the common language of Systems Thinking and provide insight into modeled business processes
* Causal Loop Diagrams present overall causal relationships
* Enhanced stock types enable discrete and continuous processes with support for queues, ovens, and enhanced conveyors
* Model equations are automatically generated and made accessible beneath the model layer
* Built-in functions facilitate mathematical, statistical, and logical operations
* Arrays simply represent repeated model structure
* Sub-models support hierarchical model structures

Simulation and Analysis

* Simulations “run” processes represented in models
* Sensitivity analysis reveals key leverage points and optimal conditions
* Partial model simulations focus analysis on specific sectors of the model
* Results presented as graphs, tables, animations, QuickTime movies, and files
* Dynamic data import/export links to Microsoft® Excel

Communication

* Flight simulators and dashboards describe model components and facilitate manipulation
* Input devices include knobs, sliders, switches, and buttons
* Output devices highlight outcomes with warning flashers, text, graphs, tables, and reports
* Storytelling supports step-by-step model unveiling
* Causal Loop Diagrams present dominant feedback loops within structure
* Sketchable graphs allow easy comparison of expected results with actual simulations
* Save as Runtime option creates full-screen, runtime models
* Multimedia support triggers graphics, movies, sounds, and text messages based on model conditions
* Model security features allow locking or password protection
