PiM Mini Model on Costs based on Availability by Kai Neumann

This mini model shows one of two ways to calculate costs within PROCESS-iMODELER models. Costs can be either as shown in another model the directly associated costs or like shown here the costs of the availability of the resources. For the availability of resources you simply sum up the cost of a resource times the number of principally available resources. The use of level resources can either be equally their principal availability or their use. For this you can use the possibility to connect a process...

world democracy by Kai Neumann

Whether it is FIFA or the UN or just the USA: the challenge is to get the voting for wise decisions Originally I thought it would be the same model for all three cases, but now I think  - FIFA sustains its system of corruption as those who profit from it directly vote for it (not the nations or organizations but its representatives) - the current UN or world security council suffers from the blockades mainly from China and Russia who do not want the UN to interfere in other countries. A World Council tha...

Germany‘s Jamaica Coalition a historic chance by Kai Neumann

As disappointed I as I was about the lates election‘s results I nevertheless see a historic opportunity for real political progress. A lot major steps are prevented (for sometimes a very good reason) by the power sharing between national Bundestag and federal Bundesrat with a reigning CDU that is by definition conservative trying to change as little as possible. Now there is little alternative to bargaining a change other than they could decide to change nothing but to get ministries or than to repeat th...

Warum Deutschland einen Politikwechsel braucht (Kurzform mit Fokus auf Wirtschaft) by Kai Neumann

Politik, die sich an den Bedürfnissen der BürgerInnen und den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft orientierte, könnte sehr sachlich nach optimalen Lösungen suchen. Die Realität ist eine der Deutungshoheiten und Interessenvertretungen weniger. Um jetzt doch auf die Zusammenhänge blicken zu können, gibt es drei Modelle: 1. Ein Modell, das von den Grundbedürfnissen ausgehend fragt, wie die Wahlprogramme mit welchen konkreten Maßnahmen und deren Finanzierung diese bedienen. (https://www.know-why.net/...

PiM: Process of building a new garden house (Likelihood of Developments) 7 by Kai Neumann

The aim of this little model is to explore the project modeling possibilities of the PROCESS-iMODELER (it is called PROCESS-iMODELER though it is just a feature of the quantitative iMODELER). The project at hand is the building of a small garden house. The model probably isn't complete in its details as it just should show the functionality. This version of the garden house model shows how to model likelihoods of incidents e.g. of a person becoming ill or the occurrence of a quality problem.

PiM Mini Model on Associated Costs by Kai Neumann

This mini model shows one of two ways to calculate costs within PROCESS-iMODELER models. Costs can be either as shown here the directly associated costs or like shown in another model the costs of the availability of the resources. For the associated costs you simply connect the process factors to a normal factor and use the costs() function times the process. The costs() value of each process step is the sum of the costs (a parameter of the resource- and level-resource factors) that are connected with t...

Mietpreisbremse und Enteignungen by Kai Neumann

Die freien Marktkräfte wirken erst langfristig, die Treiber der Preise ebenfalls. Kurioserweise ist die Enteignung erst langfristig für die Bevölkerung gut, für die Wirtschaft offenbar aber schon kurzfristig (siehe Presenter). Möge die Diskussion beginnen.

London's Housing Crisis - a collaborative modeling experience by Kai Neumann

On LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2639211/2639211-6171315685852012548?trk=hb_ntf_COMMENTED_ON_GROUP_DI...) Bob Bollen asks for ways to model London's housing crisis. While some suggestions are rather complicated (some imho outdated) I'd like to suggest to just start with it in a way that not just experts but also stakeholders can read a model and contribute to it. So here is the start of a collaborative model.  Please ask for any further assistance / guidance using the comment functions on kno...

PiM: Building a new garden house (Learning Curve and Working Hours) 2 by Kai Neumann

The aim of this little model is to explore the project modeling possibilities of the PROCESS-iMODELER (it is called PROCESS-iMODELER though it is just a feature of the quantitative iMODELER). The project at hand is the building of a small garden house. The model probably isn't complete in its details as it just should show the functionality. Here it is the modeling of a learning curve and the definition of working hours for resources.
