Business Process Management (BPM) definition
66
What BPM is and what BPM is not
What BPM is not
• BPM is not a packaged application; customization is
required to support an organization’s unique
business process requirements and needs
• BPM is not a complete solution; additional
components are required to integrate applications
and human interactions into the business process
(e.g. scanning, document management, reporting
etc.)
• BPM is not just process automation; decision points
must be defined and incorporated into the process
flow to provide control over execution of processes
across users and systems
What BPM is
• BPM supports the lifecycle of business processes
(design, deployment, execution, measurement,
optimization)
• BPM supports the orchestration of steps within the
business process and ensures proper interactions
between humans and applications
• BPM develops business processes that can be reused
in different context
77
What are the main macro processes in a company?
 Order-to-Cash
 Procure-to-Pay
 Application-to-Approval
 Claim-to-Settlement
 Issue-to-Resolution

What are the benefits of applying BPM?
• Improve customer service and retention
• Reduce staff and office overhead numbers
• Process business critical activities faster
• Reduce the number of errors and exceptions
• Reduce overall IT costs
• Reduce duplications
• Increase visibility into operational efficiencies and bottlenecks
• Reduce business risks

What is a process model?
“ A process model specifies
the behavior of a process and
has a graphical representation
of the possible sequence of
activities. ”
2323
Example of a Process model using the standard modelling
convention “BPMN” (Business Process Modeling Notation)
2424
What are the objectives of creating a process model?
• To describe the current way of working (As-Is situation)
• To re-design processes (To-Be situation)
• To serve as a ‘blueprint’ for implementation of a
standardized way of working
• To measure the performance of a process
• To determine roles & responsibilities
• To define risks and controls

How to build a process model?

What is a task?
A task is a unit of work. A task can be executed in one go by the
same resource (e.g. a person), at the same place, at the same
time, without interruptions. A task is well-defined: input,
transformation and output

Task
• Sometimes a task can not be directly executed after the previous task, but has to
wait for some ‘trigger’ to happen instead
• According to BPMN, triggers are modeled as events (represented as circles), in
which the internal marking specifies the type (e.g. message, timer, etc.)

What is the biggest pitfall of process modeling?
1. Using the wrong type of gateways, e.g. decision gateway
instead of parallel gateways
2. Writing process models from top-to-bottom instead of left-to-right
3. Not following strictly the rules of the BPMN notation
4. Spending lots of time to produce detailed models that nobody
uses

Key business analysis principles
No business process improvement or change activity can be
undertaken without the use of business analysts and/or business
analysis techniques
You must never attempt to change a business process without first
analyzing the business impact of the change in detail
Most projects failures do not stem from technology, but from a lack of
skilled Business analyst

Business Process Analysis Description
Most common starting point is when something is not right in the
organization:
• A meta problem: there are process duplications in the organization
• A business problem: The customer waiting time is too long
• A micro problem: some user interface screens are confusing
The Business Analyst needs to:
• Evaluate the current situation and the root cause of the problem by
reviewing any documentation and interviewing workers
• Document current process using a process model (see previous
chapter)
• Recommend improvements
When to use:
• When you have already clearly identified a specific process or process
for improvements
