Business Process Management - Architecture - and Modeling

Question: Discuss about the Business Process Management, Architecture, and Modeling. Answer: Business Process Architecture This article reflects on business process architecture and design that is generally used by different organizations (Barros 2007). The article is based on certain business model architectures which can be implemented by various organizations in order to improve their business strategies in the competitive marketplace. It illustrated two real life cases of business process management. The first proposal for the architecture was developed in the year of 1988 and the proposed frameworks are used to design the organizational business architectures. In the business architecture it is also mentioned that, business processes that is relevant to the organizational development is an integrated process, consists of customer satisfaction, supply chain management system, support in the resource management etc. The paper depicts general BP architecture, which is business process ontology its execution management types of different macro processes and their process flow is also mentioned in this report. Apart from this, Barros (2007) stated that, the operating macro processes followed by Hp and APQC serves the same purpose but the process and information flowing techniques are different. According to Barros (2007) there are major four grouping macro processes such as Macro1, Macro2, Macro3 and Macro4, these are used to build business architectures. It has been also mentioned that the proposed business process pattern described are adopted by Hp and APQC. The sales management models, TV channel value chain model, operational risk management model and evaluation of new capabilities within the organization are also mentioned in this article (Barros 2007). However, to improve the process management system several data development procedures and analysis of those data are made with the help of th e developed operational risk management model. The overall discussion provides a long term and improved business process architecture that is helpful to develop the architecture supported by some of the well known organizations. However, the methodologies provide a secure connection between the architecture to the business logic approaches but certain limitations are defined. The article does not describe the factor integration that might support the designed business application. It highlighted executable business design models to avoid mapping. The major limitation of the article is this it provides applicable design model but when the business logic become complex the BPMN and BPEN model is unable to execute it. Therefore, in order to overcome the entire challenges al the required implementations are needed to be incorporated with it. Business Process Management The article reflects on a particular case which is strictly focused on the outcome of business process management experienced from a survey report of Swiss bank. According to Peter Kng andClaus Hagen (2007), it defines that how information technology is implemented in Swiss bank and how it helps to reduce risks within the organization. The objective of the article is to describe process reengineering in terms of information technology. Swiss bank has chosen Process oriented organizational design as a source for competitive design that explores the relationship between the process orientation and firm performance (Peter Kung andClaus Hagen 2007). The bank is considering multi dimensional construct, to examine the impact of management process in organizational performance. The application of IT and process restricting collaboration improve the financial structure of the company. According to Peter Kng andClaus Hagen (2007), the level of competition is increasing rapidly in the financia l industry and many of the organizations are suffering from this. A crucial limitation of this article which was admitted by Kung and Hagen also is that increased importance and demands of financial packaged software are not available always and may not be to provide cost effective integration for BPM systems. Another limitation of the process is that, the time estimated for the financial transaction is reduced in this modern approach whereas in traditional approaches the time utilization is very high. According to (Kung and Hagen 2007) every BPM system has reporting and performance measurement approaches some of them are broad but some of them are very basic. The authors have identified the risks present in implementation of BPM system in banking sector but do not provide any possible solutions or recommendations against the problems leads to unsuccessful completion of the research work. The lessons which are learnt from this article are that business process management in banking sector organization can provide better and unique quality of services to the customers. It is very crucial for banking organizations to retail global competitive advantages. However, the solutions to mitigate problems of BPM model related to financial packages, performance measurement report are not properly addressed in this article. Business Process Modeling This article reflects on standard business process model, the use of which is rapidly increasing in the business organizations namely as Business Process Modelling Notations (BPMN). It concentrates on who where, how and why the BPMN process modeling are using. According to Recker (2008) the article firmly focuses on BPMN process modelers and the risks associated to it during the modeling ad designing of BPMN. It is also mentioned that BPMN is an enough rich language that, defines multiple attitudes of the business processes including the initial process up to inter organizational process. Additionally, how the Queensland University of Technology served a worldwide survey on the real life application of BPMN in the business organizations are defined. From the survey it is also determined that the practices are adopted by different vendors such as education providers, consultants throughout world. Advertisements arranged by different companies also circulated the survey. Recker (2008), stated that BPMN is one of the most popular tools used by both IT and business communities. BPMN is used for business documentation, analysis and process simulation Major limitation is though lots of users are using BPMN process but they are not familiar to the language. Due to the vastness the process is still undergoing simultaneous revisions and extensions (Recker 2008). The author has collected data from the respondents who are using BPMN but have no practical knowledge about its developments, required tools and techniques. This kind of biased information has not the capacity to measure completeness and precision. In addition, problems and improvement areas of BPM model have been addressed but its real impacts on the users or business owners are not properly evaluated in this article. The article is found to be very helpful as it described all the lectures covered in class. It described the articulation process structures and decomposition of BPMN properly. However, the development of BPMN model, intention to fix inconsistencies or errors is not addressed properly in the article. In addition, poor development of BPMN model and its impacts on the business organization are not highlighted in this article. Reference Recker, J., (2008). BPMN Modeling Who, Where, How and Why.
