Value Creation – Scenario Development via the
DeSASim “Engine”
.

The DeSASim “Engine” is a pre-engineered, fully documented package.  It utilizes familiar and standard Microsoft Office and Windows software - no computer training, additional networks or special hardware are required.

• Should reduce personnel demands associated with a business’s planning and training activities.
• Can serve as an exceptional training tool taking advantage of the system’s extensive on-line Help and Focus Zone functions that define and organize each financial and operational metric. 
• System is self-documenting and self-archiving during a scenario-creation process, making a scenario available to be used as a “work-in-progress” by other system users.
• Week-by-week performance metrics can be archived for each scenario simulation and made available to any other DeSASim system for detailed comparison. 

Example:

Significant changes in raw material costs are likely to occur in the near future.  These changes will, most likely, be different in the several countries in which a business operates.  The overall effect of these changes must be estimated to access global pricing strategy.

Personnel in each country have the latest Living Blueprints covering their current business.  Each has been structured to represent the way business is done within their particular country.  Changes in raw materials costs as well as any allied effects are input and the local effects of these changes are examined under various operating scenarios.  Business management for each country suggests their preferred course of action to counter the expected increase in raw materials costs.

All recommendations as well as the modified country specific Living Blueprints are electronically transmitted to the main office where the combined overall effects are accessed to define a general course of action regarding future pricing. When all scenarios are completed, they’re transmitted intra-country to see if any new ideas are forthcoming.

All financial and performance metrics are available for review by all participants in the analysis.
