Business Process Analysis (BPA) and BPMN
A company’s business process models can be used for a wide variety of things:
- Solely for documenting business processes in a company as a work directive or to establish whether the processes are correct
- Analysis and optimization of processes
- System analysis using business processes to ensure effective IT support of the processes
BPA Challenge
Diagram tools are often used on a small scale but it is essential for larger companies to implement a “real” modeling tool.
- Business processes need to be available for various different people using them at the same time and be up-to-date ready to be modified.
- Parts of business processes are used in other processes. This means that the tool should be able to keep maintenance of these parts consistent, e.g. renaming.
- Business processes should be available in a notation which is easy to understand, on the one hand, and precisely expressed on the other.
