BUSINESS PROCESS ANALYTICS AND CHANGE
Introduction:
Management of business process is the concepts in the operation management that
make use of several methods for modeling, discovering, improving, analyzing, automation
and optimization of the process of business. The above mentioned steps help to make
improvement in process of business from one end to another end. Concerning the steps that
are incorporated in the process of business management, it can be said that it is the
combination of both science as well as art. Process of business management is the way of
analyzing and making improvement in the business process that helps in creating an effective
and efficient functioning of the organization (Christin et al., 2016). Although the occurrence
of such process management takes place within the project context, the business management
process is neither a project management nor task management. Operations of organization
are managed using the business process that is industrialized. The main purpose of such
process of business management is to make improvement in the operational process of
business in terms of reduction in the rate of committing errors, reducing the costs that are
incurred and less consumption of time in terms of executing the activities (Berg & Kilambi,
2014). It can be said in nutshell that the process is managing of whole activities that helps in
making the effective decision making by adding value at organizational level. Since such
process incorporates some events that is intended to make improvement in the business
process, such management process can be termed as chain of events that creates relationship
between decision making and activities of organization.
The objective of organization Ballarat Dentistry is to provide patients with different
services such as cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic and services related to general dental
treatment. As mentioned in the given case study on the Ballarat Dentistry, that the
organization has implemented an inclusive process that requires each and every patient to
undergo all the tests test concerning dental health that are recommended the dentists available

therein. Such process of inclusiveness is the prices of examination that comprise of assessing
and analyzing the joint section of jaw and jaw of the patients. Such examination process
consumes a considerable amount of time and the total duration that patients is required to
invest in such prices is one hour and thirty minutes. The dentist and patient engage in one to
one conversation for discussing the examination results after the process of examination is
completed. After discussion is done, a copy of procedures that is involved in the dental care is
providing to the patients along with scheduling the appointment with the patients ensuring
that their dental problems will be taken care of. At Ballarat dentistry, there are three
departments that comprise of orthodontic dental care, general dental care and cosmetic
dentistry. The section below depicts the process of business management of Ballarat dentistry
by analyzing the case study and such process is outlined using several steps.
Discussion:
Modeling report of Ballarat Dentistry business process:
Model of process categorization:
The model of categorizing products is about the identification of process by way of
creating interrelationship between various factors in the phase of designation that makes the
procedures of business to understand in well manner. There are two models of categorization
that are involved in the phase of designation and such models comprise of Earl’s
classification that was projected in year 1994 and the Porter’s model that was projected in
year 1985. In the model of Earl’s classification, there is combination or compilation of basic
ideas and the process comprise of various steps that incorporates process of support, core
process, management process and business network process. The model of Porters is also
known as value chain that takes into account wide range of steps from supporting, primary to

creating and maintaining margin. Such model is a crucial tool that helps in business process
categorization. The model of Earl’s classification is considered as the model of categorizing
the process in case of Ballarat Dentistry.

The basic ideas relating to the process of categorizing the products is summarized
using the model of Earl’s classification. The diagram above depicts the employment of the
classification of model using several steps by making addition of the project structure and
target of value chain. In the first step, the operations of business takes into account the basic
ideas that are regarded as the business core process which creates direct impact on the
external customers like those of new customers that is coming for treatment in the Ballarat
Dentistry. On other hand, support process of business has the function of providing
supportive activities in relation to the business core process and it is mainly associated with
the internal customers that are customers who are already a part of organization and avail
dental services (Vom et al., 2014). Hence, the internal customers are the customers who are
old and existing in the Ballarat Dentistry. The value chain secondary activities in general are
supported by the support process of business. In the second step, business networking process

is outlined that is about extending the business process. However, this does not take into
account some of the specific barriers pertaining to organization and such barriers include
customers, associates and suppliers. While making reference to the given case study, the
customers of organization are the patient who are availing the health service or are likely to
avail. The third and the last step involve the process of business management which is
considered to be the most significant step of categorization of process. This particular step
incorporates the plans and measures taken by organization for its further progress or
development by resource controlling specifically. In this particular case study, the objective is
to make the identification of employees in Ballarat Dentistry several departments according
to the various processes using the model. In order for the business of dentistry to generate the
system of process management, it is required to implement the system of business process
management. Such implementation of the system will help different departments to become
acquainted with the options of special treatment in different departments such as orthodontic,
general dental and cosmetic dentistry and providing treatment patients according to their
dental health issue (Chang, 2016).
Model of capability maturity:
The model of capability maturity is a method that is used by organization for the
development of process in terms of development of software. Diagram below depicts the five
level of capability maturity model.

In the first step, there is initial level applicable to the process that is not organized at
the CMM level. This particular process at initial level is not regarded as repeatable as the
efforts are provided at individual level in order to achieve success. In the next step, there is
repeatable level where the establishments of business process management basic techniques
are done after the projects have been put into place. However, this particular step can be
repeated as indicated by the name itself. The third step is about defining the software
development for the established project that would help management of organization to
manage the whole process of business by given a considerable importance to the
standardization, documentation and integration (Pádua & Jabbour, 2015). In addition to this,
the procedure of monitoring and controlling is described at the managed level by way of
analysis and data collection process. Optimization level is the last step of the maturity model
where continuous improvement in the business process is made by optimization of the
process via using the platform of existing process that generates feedback.

This particular level also incorporates some of the innovative ideas identification in
the process that would help in fulfilling the customers as well as organizational need as a
whole depending upon the requirement. From the analysis of the given case, the process of
business management of Ballarat dentistry is monitored and controlled by the organization
itself using the process of data analysis and procedures of collecting data of the patients
visiting dentists (Harmon, 2015). Therefore, as per this analysis, it can be inferred that
Ballarat dentistry is at managed level. Hence, the level of CMM for the given organization is
4.

Discussion on General Dental using 7PMG:
It is suggested by the 7PMG guidelines that the process modeling should incorporate
the various ingredients. There is a presentation of eight step model as depicted in the process
of above mentioned model that helps in the presentation of the process using several steps.
Procedures of billing are incorporated in the last two elements that are presented by combing
both the factors. Some of the guidelines as depicted in the model of 7PMG include
structuring of the model, route minimization and using end and start event in the model of
processing. The model of 7PMG is well aligned with the model implemented by the
organization for processing (Stephan et al., 2016). However, it can be seen that the some of
the elements of process model does not take into account activity labels of verb objects.
Discussion on Orthodontic using 7PMG:
The total number of elements that is present in the process model can be reduced by
merging the elements that is listed in the 7PMG guidelines. Such technique is listed in the
diagram of orthodontic care process modeling. It is required to have minimum number of
routes per elements as presented in the model. The guidelines require having one end event
and one starting event (Elgammal et al., 2016). Furthermore, the structuring of the model
should be done according to the guideline at another point. It can be ascertained that there is
presence of errors related to activity labels.
Computation of General Dental cycle time:
Updating and registration of patient information- Thirty minutes
Outcome of findings- Forty five minutes
Comprehensive test- One hour and thirty minutes- Ninety minutes
Procedures giving initial treatment- Sixty minutes that is one hour
