Fundamentals of Business Process management - E: Process Enactment
9 important questions on Fundamentals of Business Process management - E: Process Enactment
What are the main concepts of Business Process Enactment
Business process = managed by BP management system
Business processes requite the use of IS services to perform tasks
Business process execution may be supporter by a business process management system (BPMS), implemented as a layer on top of the information system
What is the difference between BP vs IS architecture
Business processes typically are cross-domain
What data coordination options are there?
2. Bridges between these components
3. Applications share an integrated database
With bridges this can be done through
Hard-coded feed-forward of data, exported from the preceding application and imported in the subsequent
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What enactment architectures are there
- Without BPMS = process in the brain
- Basic Workflow support: no integration with aps
- Advanced workflow support: BPMS integrated aps
Date coordination
- single application, single database
- multi-application situation is the reality
No integration -> manual transfer of data
Hard coded bridges
Process engine takes care of data coordination
Integrated Enterprise Database
What happens if theres no BP support
- the user needs to remember the process
- the user needs to know and interact with many different IS
Data coordination
- single IS is exceptional, but is perfect from data integration perspective
- Multiple IS are the norm
unintegrated databases require coordination. Single enterprise database is exceptional, but is perfect from data integration perspective
How is a process engine used?
Executable process model can be interpreted by a process engine
- when an instance is started, tasks are created in the 'inbox' of the executing actors
- when a task has been marked as 'completed', next task is created and routed to the executing actor
How is an advanced workflow support setup?
BPMS provided facilities for activity management and performance evaluation
What are the pros and cons of Advanced workflow support? With integrated enterprise database
+ the user needs not to remember the process
+ BPMS can manage tasks across many executing actors
+ The user needs not to remember, the application to use: BP enactment allows guiding the user directly to the correct application component
Data coordination: Process engine takes care of it
+ Humans needs not to manually copy data from 1 application to another
+ If BP changes, data coordination can be easily changed also, more agile
+ no duplicate information, no risk of inconsistencies
+ process aspects arent intertwined, process are more simple and can purely represent business perspective
What is the business process evolution
- the execution environment must be flexible
Flexibility means:
- support deployment of a new version of a process model
- support the versioning/migration of running instances
* simple versioning = running pocess instances continue running in their version of the process model
* evolutionary change = provagate changes to already running process instances
Versioning might not be sufficient:
e.g. New regulations may requite the miration of already running process instances
"fitness for migration" of a process can be assessed by calculating a change region.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
