Why analysis and improvement of business processes are needed?

Organisational goals:

Occupy a leading position; Increase competitiveness.

An organisation needs to answer the following questions:

what method to choose for describing business processes;

which software to use; how to model processes using the selected product; how to analyse and imrpove obtained models of

business processes?

Benefits of ARIS methodology

opportunity to analyze an object from different points of view;

variety of modeling techniques; single repository; the possibility of repeated application of the

simulation results; using ARIS models as a basis for other projects

Using ARIS for business process analysis A graphical representation of business processes of any

complexity;

Rapid determination of "thin places" and their analysis;

Automatic documentation of business processes;

Using a common information space for the execution of projects such as business process reengineering, design of corporate information systems;

Monitoring of the implementation of business processes and variance analysis.

Value analysis in ARIS (ABC)

ABC-method: provides information in a form that is understandable to the staff

of an organisation; allocate overhead costs in accordance with the detailed

miscalculation of resources.

ABC-method gives the answers to these questions:

Who or what creates costs? Where there are the costs? What actions consume any resources? What are the labor costs of participants of business processes? What is the cost of key business processes?

ARIS BSC ARIS BSC is designed to simulate the strategic

management of the company, provides a description of all the strategic objectives and key performance indicators;

ARIS BSC allows to document the company's strategic goals and causal relationships between them in the standard term.

ARIS BSC module allows to analyze the established system of balanced indicators and generate reports.

ARIS BSC allows to display the interaction between all strategic objectives, key performance indicators, activities and business processes of the company.

Using ARIS for automation and creation of a target model

Company's business model - a combination of graphics and text descriptions, allowing to understand and simulate the process of managing an organization.

Business model ARIS:

develops a common language for the project team and leadership; reduces implementation time; simplifies the process of developing and agreeing the target model; allows to produce a step by step plan for the development

businesses.

Deployment

The problems of business process modeling

The difficulty of choosing a modeling tool;

Time gap between modeling and implementation;

No quality criteria

Quality Criteria of business process models

compliance with the methodology and the agreement as a whole;

consistency; clarity and understandability; completeness; enough to form the system requirements.
