Control (Process) View “Lean” Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) A coherent chain of events and functions that represent the logical sequence of a process, while indicating how to control an operational process. 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 25

Control (Process) View Extended Event-driven Process Chain (e. EPC) e. EPC results from a lean EPC, expanded with statements such as § § input or output data; performing organizational units or positions; § utilized application systems; etc. . Just a model! 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 26

Control (Process) View Function Allocation Diagram (FAD) Mainly used to represent the input/output data of a function graphically. 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 27

Control (Process) View Value-added Chain Diagram (VACD) Represents the processes of the upper, or strategic, enterprise levels. It serves mainly as an introductory-overview model. 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 28

Example “Improve Process” • The order process of books for the • • • university takes far too long -- in the opinion of most of the professors A process chain diagram shall depict the library’s status quo Create a model of the process Determine weak points 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 30

Example “Improve Process” The process: • Book requirement occurred • Professor must fill out an ordering • • form He must get: author, title, publisher, price Send application to the budget representative for approval and signature Dieter W. Storr -info@storrconsulting. com 31 May 2004

Example “Improve Process” • The process: • Budgetary funds available? § Professor’s book request is rejected § Professor receives form with OK • Sends application to the library • Library examines list of book wholesalers • Book will be ordered at a dealer 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 32

Process Chain Diagram (PCD) Colored Columns - Event - Function - Data - Media - To - Organizational Objects 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 33

Example “Improve Process” Weak Points: • Process without IT support (DB, Internet) • Budget representative (autonomous • • purchasing budgets) Library should not be used to check wholesalers (Internet) Information policy (book ordered or explanation for denial) 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 34

Example “Improve Process” Examine more closely: • Critical bottleneck is the library • Data flow “Examine Wholesaler List” • • • should be analyzed more precisely Wholesaler list doesn’t exist at all Dealer card index, Excel file, handwritten list “Guarded” by Ms. Maier, at the library 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 35

Example “Improve Process” Check and analyze more: • Create an Extended Event-Driven Process • Chain (e. EPC) from the PCD Deposit the function “Examine Wholesaler List” in the e. EPC 3/15/2018 | Software AG User Group 2011 | 36
