<p>A process is disclosed for simulating on a computer system (100) the implementation of a quality system of a business having a material flow. The process entails first inputting a selection of quality assurance measures of the quality system, and then configuring a quality model (104) resident within the computer system according to the selection. Next, material flow data is generated representing the material flow having a number of defects. In the preferred embodiment, the selection of quality assurance measures affects the number of defects being introduced into the material flow. The configured quality model is then applied to material flow data. The results of quality assurance measures on the material flow are displayed on a user interface (120). The basic simulator may be augmented with other models such as accounting (106), consumer (107), financial (108) and macroeconomic models (109) to enhance realism.</p> |
