Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to process modeling and provide a method, system and computer program product for modeling alternate processing times based on user supplied expressions. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for modeling alternate processing times based on user supplied expressions can be provided. The method can include loading simulation variables for a simulated task in a model, computing a duration of time for the simulated task based upon the simulation variables, and simulating execution of the simulated task for the computed duration of time. For example, loading simulation variables for a simulated task in a model can include loading a level of expertise for a role assigned to the task, loading a time of day for executing the task, or loading a time of year for executing the task.
