Article 1. Benefits and challenges of BPM
Synopsis
The term BPM stands for Business process modelling. It is one kind of business
process management as well as system engineering. It refers the process in which any
enterprise continues its business processes. With the help of this modelling, the current
situation of the business of any enterprise can be analysed and the analysis method is
provided by the subject matter experts. Generally, the business aim is to increase the speed of
the process as well as the product quality so that it decreases the cycle time as well as cost.
The whole procedure of the business operation is evaluated by the business process

measured and this model also tracks the management, communication as well as various
innovation related areas in business area. The business model also delivers the competitive
strategy in the field of product related service or product design of any organization with
other enterprises. In the business process model, the quality of management draws an
overview of business model by few characteristics such as capabilities, combination abilities
as well as the valuable products delivering the value proposition of any firm to the
consumers. Basically the business model is a set of elements like value proposition delivering
to the consumers, cost structure and also revenue model (Lehmann et al., 2015).Apart from
that, if it is seen the business model in the consolidated view, then it consists of few other
elements like value proposition, value creation as well as delivery system and also the value
capture system. Generally in the ideal basis, the business model may categorised into three
sections and defines the first section as value proposition, the second one as value creation
and delivery system and the last one as the value capture system. In the business process
modelling, the value proposition defines as product or service related offerings, customers
segments like customer related queries and also the relationship among the customers and
organizations. The second element of the business process model is the value creation that is
the main part of the business model. In this section, it defines the key activities as well as the
resources, channels and technologies of the business. It also reflects on the partnership,
distribution channels of the business. In the last section, the value capture refers as the cost
structure and also the revenue streams. It reflects on the marketing strategy of the business by
which it has been understand how any organization does its business and also it defines the
specifications of the business that specify the firm from other organizations. The amount of
profit and loss, spending money in the share market due to the business purposes all the
structures have clearly shown in his value capture system. There are a number of techniques
that are enlisted in the business process model. The techniques are such as process

flowcharts, business process model and notation, data flow diagram etc. The first technique
that is the process of flowchart. The flowcharts are broadly used in the business process and it
is quite easier step among the three techniques. In the business process modelling, the
flowcharts play as an significant role because with the help of this, every stage of the
business model are properly described. Since it is the proper description of the details of each
stage in the business model, the business strategy of any firm can easily understand. How the
organization does its business, how much money spend in their business, the cost procedure
everything are cleared by these flowcharts. The second technique is the business process
model and notation. It is the open-industry based methodology and established by business
process management initiative. It is one kind of standardized technique and used by the
flowchart mapping, the objects that are used by this technique etc. This method is executed
by the flowcharts. Basically it gives the graphical notation to specify the particular business
process by using business process diagram. The third technique i.e. data flow diagrams that
are designed for displaying the data flow from the one source to the other source. It refers the
data flow that how each of the processes related to the other processes and also people. Here,
it comes to the point of benefits of the business process modelling. There are few benefits
related to the BPM. The benefits are improved efficiency, applying the best practices, process
agility, and transparency and also strike the competition. Since the business process model
emphasizes all over the procedure of the business strategy of any organization, the efficiency
of the business can be improved and also to obtain the best business strategy in the market, it
needs to apply the best practices in the business process. Not only the benefits having in the
business process modelling, there are also some challenges such as irregularity between the
business and IT and deriving the difficulties from the both IT goals as well as business goals.
As a challenge, it needs to develop a solid link between the business and IT according to the
automation of the business process. Other kind of challenge of business process modelling is

that IS managers see BPM in the technical point of view and the senior executives see BPM
in the business point of view. As a result, the purpose of the software related technical
management is to reach the maximum position in the transaction system while the purpose of
the senior executives is to reach the maximum position of the transaction system. It is quite
impossible to manage both the business process because they are having a change rapidly.
Another challenges in the business process modelling is security. Security plays an important
role in BPM because there are several problems in security such as the incorporation of the
security in the business process modelling is not clearly understood and the properties of the
security processes are in complicate in nature when it combines manually. In the other issues,
one of the other challenges in the business process modelling is to manage the customer
power. The challenge is that the changing of business environment as well as business
process can happen rapidly as a result, it may create lot of challenges like the increment of
competition, expansion of market as well as raising the customer expectations. At this
situation, the firms need to decrease the cost as well as expand the product choice and thus it
may improve the quality of the consumers’ services.
