3. Business Process Optimisation with
ADONIS:Community Edition
Business process optimisation is a very important step towards
holistic business process management.
This presentation describes how ADONIS:Community Edition can
support you in identifying optimisation potential in modelled
processes and comparing different variants of TO BE processes.

4. ADONIS:Community Edition - Modelling
Model types for process optimisation scenarios
For the business process optimisation scenarios the
following model types are especially important:
 Business process model
 Working environment model

5. ADONIS:Community Edition - Modelling
Model types for process optimisation scenarios
Business process model is a detailed description of a process
consisting of activities, decisions, subprocesses etc.
 activities contain information about their times and costs as well as
links to performers responsible for execution
 business process model contains information concerning how often the
process is executed, which resources are used, what are probabilities or
transition conditions of decision paths
 different versions of
process models can be
created (e.g. with/without
system X) in order to
compare possible impact
of planned changes

6. ADONIS:Community Edition - Modelling
Model types for process optimisation scenarios
Working environment model shows the organisational structure of
a company. It can be referenced from other models to e.g. show performers
responsible for executing activities. Working environment model can
contain information about the costs of work for performers and systems.
 definition of sources of process costs
 information concerning available resources (e.g. how many
person-hours do we have available in back office)

7. ADONIS:Community Edition - Analysis
ADONIS:Community Edition contains a powerful analytical
component that uses information from existing models. It offers:
 possibility to perform quick analysis of the process – both
predefined (e.g. show activities that take longer than … to execute)
and custom (e.g. which activities from front office cost more than 5
EUR)
 simple analysis process showing information on costs and times
(including average time to execute the process) of executing selected
process X times

8. ADONIS:Community Edition - Simulation
ADONIS:Community Edition offers
also simulation component that
allows more sophisticated ways to
analyse models. Simulation allows:
 Establishing process paths with
highest costs/times/probabilities
(potential for „quick wins”)
 Measuring costs (including
personnel costs) and times for one
or more processes
 Finding bottlenecks
 Saving results of simulation in
order to compare different versions
of models

9. ADONIS:Community Edition - Documentation
HTML documentation
Creating intranet process portal
HTML documentation is perfect for creating process portals with instructions
for employees. HTML documentation should contain the final agreed version of
the optimised process
It is possible to decide which attributes will be exported to HTML

10. ADONIS:Community Edition - Documentation
Word documentation
ADONIS: Community Edition also supports publication in DOC format
Perfect for providing employees with manuals for the new processes (after
optimisation)
