Therefore, a company’s success depends largely on its flexibility. It includes:
- fast reaction to market changes
- rationality of use resources
- product and service innovation
- competitive price
- service of high quality
The introduction of automated business process management can provide the desired flexibility. One of the possible approaches is the following:
BPM is a concept of process-based business management. BPM considers business process to be special company resource that continuously adapts to changes. The methodology is based on several principals, i.e monitoring, analysis; clarity and visibility of business processes provided by modeling using formalized notation; execution; the possibility of dynamic reconfiguration of business process models by their participants with the help of software systems.
First of all, BPM is a management approach that consists of the followings steps:
- Design – identifying existing business processes, designing to-be processes, preparing the appropriate theoretical documentation
- Modeling – Design business process model using one of the standard notation (BPMN, IDEF0 and other), studying all possible process states and parameters in various conditions
- Execution –Enacting an automated business process involving the company’s employees
- Monitoring –Defining and monitoring control parameter, tracking processes, collecting statistics
- Optimization – Identifying opportunities for improving business process execution efficiency based on data retrieved in monitoring
Business Process Management System (BPM) is used for implementation of BPM concept. These systems help to reduce innovation time, to optimize processes and increase their flexibility.
