3. (BPM) Business Process Management

Agenda

4. BPM Overview
4
Business Process Management (BPM) is a systematic approach that considers all the different aspects, providing companies
process-oriented management perspective.
A comprehensive end-to-end
process organization ensures that
all operations in a business
process work together, optimized
and aligned for the common
purpose.
These processes range from the
customer inquiry to the delivery
of a product or the provision of a
service.
•Such a process-centric focus
helps to break departmental
silos.
•End-to-end processes don’t
stop at department
boundaries but requires the
collaboration of different
departments to accomplish
the process goals.
Goals of BPM :
To improve business performance, these are its goals to accomplish:
1.Capture relevant process information
2.Design processes
3.Execute processes
4.Document processes
5.Measure processes
6.Monitor and control processes
Agenda

5. Three-Level Focus of BPM (on processes)
5
BPM has an end-to-end
process-centric focus.
BPM considers different
levels to align and
support processes to
ensure the company's
strategy is followed.
Agenda

6. BPM Goal and BPM Software
6
The overall goal of business process management is to improve business performance. This can only be achieved by using a BPM
software solution (e.g. SAP Signavio Process Manager), which provides features to structure, model, and analyze business processe
Process Management Software Requirements:
A good BPM software solution supports process management with:
•A central object repository for reusing the same business terms across all processes
•A (folder) structure to store and find processes
•A reporting functionality, which aggregates all information on selected processes
•A version control of processes if changes need to be reversed
•A diagram comparison (As-Is vs. To-Be comparison)
•Collaboration / commenting features to get feedback and collaborate on processes
•Functionality to capture additional information on processes and tasks, like risks &
controls.
Agenda

7. Business Process Management Advantages
7
In which business areas can a good BPM help?
Successfully applied, BPM can improve business operations and create
a company-wide understanding of end-to-end processes. This leads to
an increased transparency of those business operations, process
comprehension and better and directed communication across
departmental boundaries.
There are three process-related areas, which are in focus for BPM:
1) Process Improvement
•Identify pain points and tasks in a process that require
improvement
•Identify the right stakeholders of a process and evaluate areas
for improvements together
•Prepare the change / training for process participants
2) Process Transparency
•Modelling and designing processes, thus information grasped at
a glance. Structuring processes
•Providing drill-down navigation from the value chain to the
actual process
•In practice, very often a certain level of process transparency is
required for external certification, compliance with risk
management, and regulations.
3) Process Implementation
•Implement processes into the company process structure (value
chain)
•Publish them to all internal employees (in a process portal, like SAP
Signavio Process Collaboration Hub
•Automate tasks/processes which have been done manually before
Agenda

8. Benefits of BPM
8
If applied correctly, BPM provides huge benefits to companies. Here are the top seven:
1) Agility
The design of processes is quite flexible. Based on necessary changes to adjust to market needs, the impacted processes can be identified quickly due to high
process transparency.
2) Productivity
Process improvements like removal of bottlenecks, parallel processing and elimination of redundant steps can be easily achieved with BPM.
3) Efficiency & Reduced Risks
The visibility of processes allows focusing on inefficiencies. This includes also checking uncovered risks and controls on certain tasks in a process - and adding
them where necessary.
4) Compliance & Transparency
BPM ensures that organizations can implement regulatory requirements quickly. Compliance can be integrated easily into the process lifecycle, as visualized
processes also reveal potential (or uncovered) risks.
5) Employee Satisfaction
BPM allows employees to focus 100% on their work as process automation cuts down a lot of repetitive work and makes it easier to access information.
6) Measurability
Due to its end-to-end process focus, processes can be compared to an expected result. This helps to streamline and quantify how well a process supports the
operational business.
7) Technology Integration
BPM software solutions bridge the gap between IT and business users, thanks to process modeling standards like BPMN 2.0. The focus is not only on integrating
systems applications anymore but equally on processes along with applications to accomplish the overall process goal.
Agenda

9. Process Architecture
9
High-level value chains are quite
common today as a starting
point for organizations.
They help to structure, organize
and control the business
processes of the whole
company.

They allow to drill-down into
separate business areas to
determine the final processes.
Agenda

10. Value Chain
10
A Value Chain:
It represents the process
architecture of an organization
from the highest standing point.
It visualizes the process groups
of management, core, and
support processes.
These process groups are
aligned with the overall
company goals and strategy.

Agenda

11. Process Areas
11
A particular process area:
It focuses on a functional
part of the organization,
e.g. Human Resources,
Finance, or Sales
Department.
It provides an insight into
the corresponding business
processes.
It consists of a logical
grouping of related
processes of a certain
business unit.
Agenda

12. End-to-End Processes
12
End-to-End Processes:
Represent existing and
conceptual end-to-end
processes of a dedicated
process area.
The BPMN is used for the
graphical representation of
all business processes.
BPMN contains the tasks,
branches, and decisions to
complete the process.
Agenda

13. Sub-Processes
13
Sub-Processes:
They cover further level
of details or outsourced
process information in
the form of BPMN
models.
They may be linked to a
single or even multiple
main processes on the
upper level of the
process hierarchy.
Agenda

14. A Value Chain Example
14
High level value chains
can show the business
related services across
different areas.
