Performance Evaluation of Decisionmaking Organizations Using Timed Petri Nets.
Abstract
Decision making organizations are modeled as asynchronous concurrent systems, using Timed Petri Nets. The modeling allows for evaluating the time-related performances, with respect to the following measures: The maximum throughput rate, defined as the maximum processing rate achievable by the system, and the execution schedule, which determines the earliest instants at which the different operations can occur in the process. These measures of performance are analyzed and expressed as a function of the resource and time constraints that are specific to the organization. The characterization obtained makes it possible to compare different organizational forms and to modify existing designs so as to improve performance.
