Business Process Modelling -PART 1
Posted: 29 Jul 2013, 12:57
Hi,
I have been trying to evaluate the software to see if we are able to create business processes as desired or not. I shall describe the problem and give you the steps as well to see what I have been experiencing.
Case Study :
- I have defined the following:
A) "Loans" domain under "Business_Conceptual -> Business_Domain -> Loans"
B) Following three capabilities for the "Loans" Domain. They are:
- Loan Origination
- Loan Maintenance
- Loan Closure
C) The following processes under the "Business_Process_Type -> Business_Process". They are:
- Open Loan Account (This has been further classified to realise business capability "Loan Origination")
- Initiate Loan - This is one of the sub process under "Open Loan Account" and does not realise any business capability
- Creation of Account - This is one of the sub process under "Open Loan Account" and does notrealize any business capability
- receive Application fee - This is one of the sub process under "Open Loan Account" and does not
realize any business capability
- Approval of Loan - This is one of the sub process under "Open Loan Account" and does not realize any business capability.
Given the above , For purpose of simplicity , I have just linked "Initiate Loan, Creation of Account, receive application fee and Approval of Loan" together to form a process flow which defines "Open Loan Account" Process.
Questions I have from the above defined parameters:
Q1) After doing this, When I see the process from the business process model of "Business Domain Process Analysis" View, it appears as attached and the same process in the "business process summary "view appears as attached.
Screenshots "Processes- Business process view(unable to attach as I have already attached 3 files) and Processes -Business domain process summary view attached"
Can you please explain as to why there is a difference
Q2) Now to complicate it , If I add two activities e,g "
- Complete Loan quotation
- Perform Credit Risk Assessment
and call these activities in defining the process flow for a new process "Create Customer", I am able to see this process flow in the "Business Process Summary View" but am getting an error in the "Business Domain process
Analysis view". Screen shots "Activities - Business process view and Activities - Business Domain process view attached"
Q3) If I were to create a domain called "Retail Banking" that contains the domain defined above "Loans", there is
no view by which I can see this relationship. Can you let me know if this assumption is correct?
As I am currently new to the tool, I am trying to explore what can be achieved. Your help in answering these questions would be very much appreciated. I can send the PPRJ file if you would like.
