SymplProcess gives industrial engineers one connected platform to model processes, optimize staffing with TOC math, run Monte Carlo simulations, analyze capacity, and track engineering projects — no spreadsheets required.
Built for industrial engineers, process engineers, and CI leaders in manufacturing and distribution. 100+ free learning guides. 15 free calculators. Full platform starts at $29/mo.
Engineers build staffing models in Excel that nobody else can maintain. Formulas break. Versions diverge. The floor ignores the model and staffs by gut feeling.
Mapping a process takes days in Visio or PowerPoint. Cycle time studies live in notebooks. There's no live model to test changes against.
Engineers propose changes based on point estimates. No confidence intervals, no what-if scenarios. Leadership asks "how sure are you?" and the answer is a shrug.
Engineers prioritize projects by politics, not impact. Without bottleneck data and Pareto analysis, the real constraint goes unfixed while effort is wasted elsewhere.
Theory of Constraints solver distributes labor to maximize throughput. The bottleneck is identified instantly. Test scenarios before deploying to the floor.
Build multi-stream process models with cycle times, dependencies, and critical path analysis. Update the model as conditions change — no static Visio diagrams.
Run Monte Carlo simulations for confidence intervals. Test "what if we add 2 people?" scenarios. Present results with data, not guesses.
Pareto analysis shows which 20% of problems cause 80% of losses. Prioritize improvement projects by impact, not by who's loudest.
Build multi-stream process models with cycle times, dependencies, and shift configurations. The system calculates critical path, identifies the constraint, and computes lead time automatically.
Replaces days of Visio/Excel modeling with a live, interactive model you can update in minutes. Engineers who model in SymplProcess identify bottlenecks 10x faster than manual methods.
The TOC-based solver distributes available labor across every process step to maximize throughput. It identifies the constraint, allocates resources accordingly, and lets you run what-if scenarios before deploying.
10-25% more output with the same headcount. Eliminates hours of manual labor balancing in Excel. Engineers can test staffing scenarios in seconds instead of days.
One screen with everything an engineer needs: active process models, staffing scenarios, open action items, and project status. Auto-populates based on your role and active projects.
Cuts time spent gathering data and checking status by 60%. Engineers spend more time analyzing and optimizing, less time chasing updates across email and spreadsheets.
Standardized data collection that feeds your analytics. Production, quality, safety, downtime, and action items captured in a structured format — giving engineers the clean data they need for analysis.
Engineers spend 40% less time cleaning and collecting data. Structured reporting means your Pareto analysis, trend charts, and OEE calculations are built on real numbers, not estimates.
KPI dashboards with OEE, throughput, and schedule adherence. 14-day production trends. Pareto analysis for downtime and defects. All auto-generated — no manual data wrangling.
Engineers identify the top constraint in minutes instead of days. Pareto analysis quantifies the 20% of causes behind 80% of losses — so you can justify the right project to leadership with data.
Same data. Different depth. Engineers see models, analysis tools, and project tracking. Managers see reports and action items. Directors see 30-day trends and facility comparisons.
Zero training required. Each role sees what they need. Engineers get full analytical tools; leadership gets executive summaries. New team members are productive on day one.
Zone-by-zone walkthrough checklists. Failed items auto-create action items. Track scores over time.
Weekly planners, live team dashboard, task assignment, Outlook export. Managers see who's doing what.
Kanban board with priority levels. Auto-generated from shift reports and audits. Nothing falls through cracks.
TOC-based staffing solver. Run what-if scenarios: "What if we add 2 people to putaway?"
Bottleneck analysis with capacity projections. Know when you'll hit limits before it happens.
Probabilistic planning with confidence intervals. "90% chance we'll produce 450-520 units."
Conversational AI that answers process questions, explains lean concepts, and generates training plans. Available 24/7.
Locked templates that standardize how every facility sets up processes. One source of truth.
Add members, assign roles, manage multiple facilities. Google OAuth — zero IT setup. Join codes for onboarding.
Free lean manufacturing education. 5S to Value Stream Mapping to TOC. Interactive demos with 6 tabs each.
OEE, throughput, takt time, cycle time, downtime cost, safety stock, capacity utilization, and more.
80+ manufacturing and lean terms defined in plain language with links to full guides.
