ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for producing predictive performance and capacity information employing a type of factory to reduce the ongoing cost of providing simulation models to answer questions raised by the various business entities is provided. To achieve this, a continual process for providing on-going performance information is provided. The core concept is the development and long-term reuse of component models to create other, more broadly scoped performance models. This requires the implementation of standard simulation model constructs to facilitate reuse, processes for the development of models and their use by clients, and a stable yet flexible repository for component models. The invention comprises processes, standards, templates, and software tools that implement a performance service that consists of the long term maintenance of predictive performance models for repeated use by lines of business to provide capacity planning information.
