This model intends to simulate employee competency levels over time. Factors affecting competency levels are:
1. knowledge
2. skills
3. attitude
4. training system
5. new technologies or job requirements
6. recruitment system
7. economy
8. Self-Development (Practice/No Practice)
9. Attrition (Resignation/Retirement)

Project management in an ideal world. The project has a defined scope, work rate and runs according to the initial schedule.

Schedule pressure is constant until the project is completed.

Faced with a performance gap the two most obvious responses are to work harder or work smarter. There are trade offs associated with each, some obvious, some not so obvious.

Un proyecto debe entenderse como un sistema debido a que aun cuando existen muchos parámetros que pueden anticiparse, la realidad actual de los proyectos alerta sobre el mantenimiento de todas las conexiones alertas a cambios desde su raíz estratégica hasta su interacción con los actores involucrados.

This simulation mimics the flow of projects through an organization. The organization consists of teams that idependently or collaboratively work on projects. Many of the projects have a mulit-team dependency.

This story presents a conceptual model of nitrogen cycling in a dune-lake system in the Northland region of New Zealand. It is based on the concept of a stock and flow diagram. Each orange ellipse represents an input, while each blue box represents a stock. Each arrow represents a flow. A flow involves a loss from the stock at which it starts and an addition to the stock at which it ends.
