business process modeling

2.  Management approach focused on
aligning all aspects of an organization
with the wants and needs of clients.
 It could be described as a "process
optimization process„.
 Enables organizations to be more
efficient, effective and capable of change
than a functionally focused, traditional
hierarchical management approach.

3.  Is "a collection of related, structured activities
that produce a service or product that meet the
needs of a client„,
 Is often used as synonymous of management of
middleware processes; or integrating
application software tasks,
 Foundation is very similar to other Total Quality
Management or Continuous Improvement
Process methodologies or approaches.

4. Business process management activities can
be grouped into five categories:
 Design
 Modeling
 Execution
 Monitoring
 Optimization

5.  Process Design encompasses both the
identification of existing processes and the
design of "to-be" processes.
 The aim is to ensure that a correct and efficient
theoretical design is prepared.
 The proposed improvement could be in
human-to-human, human-to-system, and
system-to-system workflows, and might target
regulatory, market, or competitive challenges
faced by the businesses.

6.  Modeling takes the theoretical design and
introduces combinations of variables (e.g.,
changes in rent or materials costs, which
determine how the process might operate
under different circumstances).
 It also involves running "what-if analysis" on the
processes: "What if I have 75% of resources to
do the same task?" "What if I want to do the same
job for 80% of the current cost?".

7.  Process Automation is:
 to develop/purchase an application that executes the
required steps of the process,
 to use a combination of software and human
intervention - more complex => difficult
documentation proces.
 Developed software enables the full BP to be defined in
a computer language directly executed by the
computer.The system will use services in connected
applications to perform business operations, or, when a
step is too complex to automate, will ask for human
input.
 A business rule engine can be used to drive process
execution and resolution

8.  Tracking of individual processes, so, that
information on their state can be easily seen,
and statistics on the performance of one or
more processes can be provided.
 The degree of monitoring depends on what
information the business wants to evaluate and
analyze and how business wants it to be
monitored, in real-time, near real-time or ad-
hoc.
 Process mining is a collection of methods and
tools related to process monitoring.The aim of
this is to analyze event logs extracted through
process monitoring and to compare them with
an a priori process model. It allows to detect
discrepancies between the actual process
execution and the a priori model.

9.  Process optimization includes retrieving
process performance information from
modeling or monitoring phase;
identifying the potential or actual
bottlenecks and the potential
opportunities for cost savings or other
improvements; and then, applying those
enhancements in the design of the
process.

11. Is define as:
 „The whole of BMP“, or
 Information moving between enterprise
software packages and immediateli think of
Service Oriented Architecture(SOA).
 Today encompasses the concept of supporting
the managerial approach trhough enabling
technology.
 BMPS should facilitate business process
change throughout the life cycle – this will
assist in the automation of activities,
collaboration, integration with others systems.

12.  Process engine – platform for modeling and
executing process-based apllications
(including business rules)
 Business Analytics – identification business
issues and reaction accordingly
 Content Management – system for storing and
securing electronic documents
 Collaboration Tools – remove communication
bariers, dynamic workspace

13.  Graphical representations of BP.
 Is supported with appropriate graphical
object properties that will enable the
generation of executable BPEL (Business
Process Execution Language).
 Creates a standardized bridge for the
gap between the business process
design and process implementation.
