Zusammenfassung

Value driver trees are a well-known methodology to model dependencies such as the definition of key performance indicators. While the models have well-known semantics, they lack the right tool support for business simulations, because a flexible implementation that supports multidimensional, hierarchical value driver trees and data bindings is very complex and computationally challenging. This paper tackles this problem by proposing an approach for generic enterprise simulations which are based on value driver trees. Our approach is two-fold: we present the definition of a simulation meta model at design time, and the run-time simulation tool. The simulation meta model describes the structure of the dependency graph, the data binding, and the parametrization of the model to simulate data changes. The simulation tool can then be used to create and edit simulation model instances and run simulations in real-time by leveraging an in-memory column store. Besides the formal description of the approach, this work presents a prototypical implementation of the simulation tool and an evaluation using data of a consumer packaged goods company.
