SysML Performance Metrics/Ratings

• What is rated • User Interface - measures the effectiveness of the interface • Modeling Capability – measure the ability of SysML to models complex systems• Executable Performance – measures how fast the model executes• Flexibility – measure how the model and its parameters adapts to modifications• Learnability - measures the ease of use for first-time users

• How things are rated• 0 – Very Poor• 1 – Poor• 2 – Below Average• 3 – Average• 4 – Good• 5 – Very Good

• Performance Metrics• # of hours/diagram• Executable run time

Interesting Note on Revenue and Job Speed• If we have a 50GB project, the price per GB is $2,250 so Revenue = $112,500• The revenue is now fixed! So if we can complete the project in 5 days we charge the same as if the project takes 10 days!• If each 50GB job took 5 days, we could do two 50GB jobs in 10 days! So in this example the opportunity cost of having a slower

system (50GB in 10 days,) is $112,500

So some of the important questions are: • How quickly can each of the 3 systems complete jobs of various sizes? • Where is the break even point for the increased speed to balance the investment in new capitol?• How might different scenarios impact our financial model?

Methodology:- First determine and decompose the parametric equations for the system- Then use system data to determine the distributions for the stochastic elements- Next run a Monte Carlo simulation to generate output - V&V the model and output- Finally, we’ll compare the three alternatives and do some sensitivity analysis

We can show the baseline systems’ output for the next update!

Hey Lets build a Model and Simulate Costs & Revenue!
