Government Service Center

Government Service Center. A process for document processing at a government facility.

0. There is one item in this mode: Visitor

1. Visitors arrive at the Service Center. You can set the rate of the demand to be different over the course of a day. Maybe there's a morning and lunch rush, but relatively lower demand rates at other times of the day.

2. Set the number of clerks available in the Core Pull Block. This action helps test resource levels against the rate of demand. You can also vary the number of clerks that are available over the course of the day. 

3. Model the time between calling the next number and the Visitor arriving at the desk. Some Visitors may take longer getting to the desk than others, whether because of distance from the desk or mobility. Modeling this can help accurately account for time spent in the facility.

4. Recognize some people won't have the correct documents. Modeling the Visitors who come in only to realize they have the wrong documents helps show the slowdown in the process.

5. The amount of time in Data Entry and Processing can be affected by Policy Decisions. Updates to forms or information that needs to be collected can impact the time to complete some steps. Modeling the impact of speeding up the process is possible in this model.

In a government setting, process modeling can lead to more efficient public service delivery, better resource management, and higher satisfaction among citizens due to reduced wait times and more transparent processes. By modeling your process, you can see the impact of policies, facility layouts, or other changes on your key metrics.
