What is Business Process? What is BPM? Using a BPM Business Process Modeling Notations Advantages

Business Process
A process is a specific ordering of work activities across time and place, with a beginning, an end, and clearly defined inputs and outputs: a structure for action. Collection of activities designed to produce a specific output for a particular customer or market. Implies how the work is done within the organization.

What is Business Process Modeling?


It is about how a business carries out its processes in the most efficient manner, and how it supports staff to achieve this.

The outcomes of a business process modelling project are essentially:


value for the customer, and reduced costs for the company, leading to increased profits

Using a BPM
The following example will indicate the value of a model. The example uses a Call Centre. First step -To receive a call. Next step - How the call is answered? Let us take three answers:

Option 1- How can I help you?


Would suits a generalist type of person on the phones. The screen they have in front of them has fast access to a number of different functions (accounts, deliveries, orders etc.). They would also need a broad responsibility to approve customer requests such as changing accounts, cancelling deliveries and changing orders. They need to be surrounded by a library of information which may be on their PC but might also be on files.

Option 2- Can I have your name please?


Would Suit a CRM system Need to be able to enter the customer name To get- customer details such as address, order history, billing history, contact history.

Option 3- Is this call in relation to your account?


May suit a call centre where most calls are accounts related. What if it is not accounts process? If it is accounts, what information is required? Having a recorded voice asking customers to have their account number ready, or give them options (dial 1 if it is in relation to your last account).

Business Process Modeling Notation


An Event is something that happens during the course of a business process.

Events affect the flow of the Process and usually have a trigger or a result. Events can start, interrupt, or end the flow.

Compensation Event
This is used for compensation handling--both setting and performing compensation. It call for compensation if the Event is part of a Normal Flow. It reacts to a named compensation call when attached to the boundary of an activity.

Rule Event
This is only used for exception handling. This type of event is triggered when a Rule becomes true.

Link Event A Link is a mechanism for connecting an End Event (Result) of one Process to an Intermediate Event (Trigger) in another Process. Paired Intermediate Events can also be used as Go To objects within a Process.

Multiple Event
This means that there are multiple ways of triggering the Event. Only one of them will be required.

Transaction is an activity that has a double border. Normal Outgoing Sequence Flow represents the path to follow a successful completion.

Cancel Intermediate Event represents the path to follow a cancelled completion.


Exception Intermediate Event represents the path to follow a transaction hazard.
