En este artículo se exploran las estrategias y herramientas relacionadas con el modelado y la simulación de procesos que pueden ayudar a conseguir estos fines y otros relacionados.Para lograr esto primero se aborda la conceptualización necesaria para entender la gestión de procesos orientada a resultados, enseguida se profundiza en los conceptos del modelado y la simulación, así como otros temas relacionados, abordando aquí el uso y las características mas sobresalientes de los programas informáticos de simulación, incluyendo las ventajas y desventajas de su uso. Se ahonda luego en la descripción del software FlexSim, explorando sus principales características y facilidades que ofrece para su uso y para el análisis de los resultados de las simulaciones.Luego de lo anterior se incluyen apartados en los que se amplía estos temas realizando un estudio más detallado, particularizándolos para relacionarlos con los procesos de construcción y la utilización de escenarios y su importancia para la gestión de riesgos y la depuración y validación de modelos. 2019-10-23 2020-09-25T23:12:44Z 2020-09-25T23:12:44Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/4799 10.18845/tm.v32i4.4799 https://hdl.handle.net/2238/12027 spa https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/4799/4569 application/pdf Editorial Tecnológica de Costa Rica (entidad editora) Tecnología en marcha Journal; 2019: Vol. 32 Núm. 4 Octubre-Diciembre; Pág. 145-157 Revista Tecnología en Marcha; 2019: Vol. 32 Núm. 4 Octubre-Diciembre; Pág. 145-157 2215-3241 0379-3982

description In an economic environment like the present, the construction companies should procure that the processes they develop in their projects are characterized by high yields and operational performance, efficiency in the use of materials, high rates of physical and human resource productivity, and manage to do it under a risk-controlled environment.

Next, going further in the concepts of modeling and simulation, and in other related subjects, leading at this point the use and the most outstanding characteristics of the software of simulation, including the advantages and disadvantages of its purpose.
