Advanced BPMN/BPM Lifecycle

This document discusses the advanced concepts of BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) and BPM (Business Process Management) lifecycle. It covers topics such as process classification, waiting time, cycle time, and proposes solutions to improve efficiency and reduce processing time. The document also includes case studies and diagrams to illustrate the concepts. Recommended for students studying business process management or related subjects.

4) Advanced BPMN/BPM Lifecycle
Scenario 4.A
PART B
Task 4A.1
Figure 1 below shows “as is" process of Scenario 4.A in BPMN.

Task 4A.2)
Table 1 below shows classification of activities of scenario 4.1 A.
Step Performer Classification
Submitting and registering
new request
Client VA
Request waiting Level NVA
Check new request known Level 1 BVA
New request and re-
submitting
Client NVA
Communicate resolution Level 1 BVA
Check new request not
known
Level 1 VA
Forward to level 2 Level 1 NVA
New requests Waiting for
evaluation
Level 2 NVA
Evaluation Level 2 VA
Prioritize request Level 2 VA
Pick-up Level 2 NVA

Writes Resolution Level 2 BVA

Fetch resolution Level 1 NVA
Send problem resolution Level 1 NVA

According to Dumas, Rosa, Mendling, and Reijers stated cycle time as shown below
Cycle time =waiting time +Processing time.
CT=3989.4
TCT=176.4
Cycle Time (CT)=
176.4/3989.4
=4.477%
Task 4A.4).
According to Weske stated that average number of request in a process can be got as shown
below.
Theoretical Cycle Time (TCT)
Cycle Time (CT)

WIP =125*3812 Arrival rate is 50 per day =50/24*60=125
=498675 minutes
Task 4A.5).
Level 1 staff are inexperienced to handle and solve all request requests because they have to
forward other requests to level 2 and they work for a short period of time less than a year.
A company has 1000 employees to work on small number of only 50 request daily.
The waiting time for request to be processed is long until a client call to request the status of
request is when it can be worked on.
There is under utilizations of resources company employees a lot of employees who do less and
simple tasks and are unskilled.
There repetition of process resolution is done twice by level 1 and level 2.
A lot of time wasted in calling and sending email to client, level 1 and level 2.
Proposal.
Eliminate level 1 workers because they inexperienced, unskilled and handle only simple tasks.
Train level 1 worker to handle all tasks.
Let client call direct level 2 who can handle all task.
Reduce on number of employees because 50 requests can be handled by few level 2 .

Task 4.B.3b:.

Figure 5 Diagram below shows Fishbone diagram of process
Task 4.B.3c identify impacts.
Calls.Delay phone not going through
ABC cannot be reached to confirm claim so repair windshield delay to take place.
Glass repair shop
Calls ABC and sometimes ABC OR agent phone is not available but Glass repair shop should
call direct customer.
Customer not insured.
NO COVER.Glass repair shop takes risk to repair vehicle without cover.
Invalid cover.
Customer is not insured so vehicle cannot be repaired.
Process takes long.

Glass repair shop has to communicate to ABC but I would be better when customer
communicates direct to customer
Task 4.B.4 B To-Be Model.
a. Time. When repair shop calls ABC there is delay in communicates .it takes some time for
phone to go through. There should be no delays in communication .ABC phone should be
available always
Cost.
Repair shop sometimes take risk of repairing windshield vehicle without confirming
validity of insurance cover so it may end up losing revenues.
