Business process modeling

BPM is typically performed by business analysts, with subject matter experts collaborating with these teams to accurately model processes.

M. Rosemann, A. Schwegmann, and P. Delfmann also see disadvantages in the concept of views: "It is conceivable to create information models for each perspective separately and thus partially redundantly.

As a rule, these are not only the functions constituting the process, including the relationships between them, but also a number of other qualities, such as formal organization, input, output, resources, information, media, transactions, events, states, conditions, operations and methods.

The research program was designed to explore the impact of information technology on the way organizations would be able to survive and thrive in the competitive environment of the 1990s and beyond.

In the final report, N. Venkat Venkatraman[15] summarizes the result as follows: The greatest increases in productivity can be achieved when new processes are planned in parallel with information technologies.

Control of documented information" Based on the standard requirements, Preparing for ISO certification of a management system is a very good opportunity to establish or promote business process modelling in the organisation.

Hermann J. Schmelzer and Wolfgang Sesselmann, on the other hand, discuss and evaluate the criticism levelled at the radical approach of business process re-engineering (BPR) in the literature and "recommend carrying out as-is analyses.

"[2] (Chapter 6.2.2 Critical assessment of the BPR) ← automatic translation from German Timo Füermann explains: "Once the business processes have been identified and named, they are now compiled in an overview.

However, other approaches to structuring core business processes are also common, for example from the perspective of customers, products or sales channels.

Depending on the prevailing corporate culture, which may either be more inclined towards embracing change or protective of the status quo and the effectiveness of communication, defining business processes can prove to be either straightforward or challenging.

"[7] (Chapter 4.15 Influencing the design of the regulatory framework) ← automatic translation from German In the event of considerable resistance, however, external knowledge can also be used to define the business processes.

They describe industry- or application system-specific processes of an organization that still need to be adapted to the individual case, but are already coordinated in their structure.

Ansgar Schwegmann and Michael Laske explain: "Determining the current status is the basis for identifying weaknesses and localizing potential for improvement.

The first image shows as a value chain diagram how the business process Edit sales pipeline has been broken down into sub-processes (in the sense of representing the sequence of actions (activities)) based on its phases.

To resolve the contradiction between accuracy of description and clarity, there are two main solutions: Outsourcing the additional graphical elements for describing inputs, outputs, systems, roles, etc.

The function allocation diagram shown in the image illustrates the addition of graphical elements for the description of inputs, outputs, systems, roles, etc.

The term master data is neither defined by The Open Group (The Open Group Architecture Framework, TOGAF) or John A. Zachman (Zachman Framework) nor any of the five relevant German-speaking schools of business informatics: 1) August W. Scheer, 2) Hubert Österle, 3) Otto K. Ferstl and Elmar J. Sinz, 4) Hermann Gehring and 5) Andreas Gadatsch and is commonly used in the absence of a suitable term in the literature.

[3] (Chapter 3.2 GPM - Holistic process modelling) ← automatic translation from German For Otto K. Ferstl and Elmar J. Sinz in SOM (Semantic Objektmodell), this would be the basic information of the levels Business plan and Resourcen.

The artifact-centric process modelling approach fosters the automation of the business operations and supports the flexibility of the workflow enactment and evolution.

All IT-systems involved can exploit their specific advantages and cross-fertilize each other (e.g. link to each other or standardize the filing structure): If all relevant objects of the knowledge database and / or documents of the rule framework are connected to the processes, the end users have context-related access to this information and do not need to be familiar with the respective filing structure of the connected systems.

Interfaces can be defined by: In real terms, the transferred inputs/outputs are often data or information, but any other business objects are also conceivable (material, products in their final or semi-finished state, documents such as a delivery bill).

With advances in software design, the vision of BPM models being fully executable (enabling simulations and round-trip engineering) is getting closer to reality.

Along with the integration of all lifecycle disciplines including, program management, systems and design engineering, verification and validation, deployment and maintenance into one framework.

Each subject has an internal behavior (capsulation), which is defined as a control flow between different states, which are receive and send message and do something.

The creation of UML was originally motivated by the desire to standardize the disparate notational systems and approaches to software design.

These definition languages were developed under funding from U.S. Air Force and, although still most commonly used by them and other military and United States Department of Defense (DoD) agencies, are in the public domain.

These reference models can be constructed in layers, and offer a foundation for the analysis of service components, technology, data, and performance.

As a result, business process modeling and subsequent analysis can fundamentally reshape the way an enterprise conducts its operations.

Business process re-engineering (BPR) began as a private sector technique to help organizations fundamentally rethink how they do their work.

With advances in software design, the vision of BPM models becoming fully executable (and capable of simulations and round-trip engineering) is coming closer to reality.
