Practical Example: Vaccination Centre Simulation

Due to Corona, vaccination has become a topic that everyone has to deal with at some point. Unfortunately, there are many questions but only few answers. Every country handles their vaccination situation differently, so there is no universal solution.

In Germany, there is pressure to vaccinate as many people as possible against corona, to achieve rapid herd immunity.

However, the vaccination logistics within the vaccination centers must also be correct. However, they are often overcrowded and cost a lot of time and the employees a lot of overtime. Many factors have to be considered to vaccinate a certain number of citizens.

Barbara Bredner, a certified statistician, used iGrafx PROCESS to visualize each process step. She also calculated the time required for each step in order to detect avoidable waiting time. Bredner used iGrafx simulations to optimize and achieve the goal of 1000 vaccinated per day.

Here you see the simulation of the first of four results. With iGrafx you can see active (blue) and overloaded (red) process steps.
