Models serve to simplify real-world phenomena. They abstract from unnecessary details and provide stakeholders in process management with a tool for documenting, analyzing, and improving processes. This article introduces fundamental questions regarding the modeling and analysis of processes and subsequently discusses modeling methods commonly used in practice: process map, process profile, tabular notation, swimlane diagrams, extended event-driven process chain (eEPC), and Business Process Model and Notation. Finally, aspects of proper modeling are addressed and the presented methods are compared. Review questions and exercises ensure learning success.

Modeling and Analysis of Processes

  • Andreas Gadatsch

摘要

Models serve to simplify real-world phenomena. They abstract from unnecessary details and provide stakeholders in process management with a tool for documenting, analyzing, and improving processes. This article introduces fundamental questions regarding the modeling and analysis of processes and subsequently discusses modeling methods commonly used in practice: process map, process profile, tabular notation, swimlane diagrams, extended event-driven process chain (eEPC), and Business Process Model and Notation. Finally, aspects of proper modeling are addressed and the presented methods are compared. Review questions and exercises ensure learning success.
