Model processes and data structures.
Process modeling or specifically Business Process Model (BPM) is a diagrammatic representation of a sequence of activities showing events, actions and connection points in the sequence. BMP is used to improve the efficiency and the quality of the business process. There are two main types of business process models. First one is the ‘as is’ or baseline model that displays the current situation. This model could be used to identify weak points and bottlenecks, which could be useful for future improvements. The other model is the ‘to be’ model, which represents the intended new situation. This incorporates identified potential improvements from the base line model and could be used to demonstrate and test the new process before actually implementing it.
