Crystal Ball 7.3 Standard Edition Features & Benefits
| FEATURE | BENEFIT |
|---|---|
| Monte Carlo Simulation | Does: Calculates multiple scenarios of a spreadsheet model automatically |
| Benefits: Frees users from the constraints of estimates and best-guess values | |
| Distribution Gallery | Does: Provides an intuitive interface for selecting model input variables; includes 16 discrete and continuous distributions plus custom distribution |
| Benefits: Simplifies the quantifying of risk, means you don't have to enter the distribution formula into Excel | |
| Categories of Distributions | Does: Create predefined distributions, modify your existing distributions and organize them using custom categories |
| Benefits: Create your own library of distributions, organized in categories. Re-use distributions from one project to the next | |
| Publish and Subscribe Feature for Categories | Does: Publish categories and share with many users |
| Benefits: Work as a team sharing models and data to get your work done faster | |
| Process Capability Features | Does: Define spec limits (LSL, USL and Target) in your forecasts, calculate capability metrics and view simulation results and metrics together in one split-view chart. |
| Benefits: With capability metrics in Crystal Ball you simplify your workflow and better integrate simulation into your Six Sigma and Quality methodology | |
| Forecast Charts | Does: Graphically display simulation results and statistics |
| Benefits: Allows users to track and analyze thousands of possible outcomes; charts are interactive | |
| Split-View charts | Does: View forecast charts, descriptive statistics and capability metrics side-by-side on the same chart. Enable up to 6 charts and tables in one view |
| Benefits: One chart tells the whole story | |
| Sensitivity and Tornado Analyses | Does: Two separate methods for identifying the most critical model input variables |
| Benefits: Enable users to focus on high-risk model input variables | |
| Distribution Fitting | Does: Uses historical data for defining assumptions |
| Benefits: Allows users to customize model input variables based on real-world results | |
| Correlation | Does: Models dependencies between uncertain input variables |
| Benefits: Provides more accurate modeling and forecasting | |
| Charting and Reporting | Does: Automates report generation, includes the ability to overlay forecasts and to project trends through time |
| Benefits: Creates clear analysis and presentation of all forecasts, improves communication with colleagues, management, and clients | |
| Precision Control | Does: Provides advanced simulation capabilities |
| Benefits: Increases simulation accuracy and flexibility; saves time | |
| Latin Hypercube Sampling | Does: Alternative simulation method to Monte Carlo |
