BPM Business Process Management (BPM) Systematic process of creating, assessing, altering business processes Four stages of BPM Create model of business process components Users review and adjust model “as-is model” documents current process; it is changed to solve process problems Create system components Uses five elements of IS (hardware, software, data, procedures, people) Implement business process Create policy for ongoing assessment of process effectiveness Adjust and repeat cycles Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

5 Q2: How Does Business Process Management Vary in Scope?
BPM Scope Functional Single department Problem: may lead to “islands of automation” Cross-functional Goal: Eliminate/reduce isolated systems and data Interorganizational Ex: SCM, credit card transaction processing Requires negotiation, contracts, litigation to resolve conflicts between organizations Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

13 Q5: What Role Do Information Systems Play in Business Processes?
Roles Implement business process activities Entirely manual Automated Mixed information systems Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

14 IS Alternatives for Implementing the Register Clients Activity
Entirely manual—using word processor to record data, prepare documents of client roster and special requests list Use spreadsheet or database application to accomplish above activities, plus determine trip availability, collect deposits and trip payments Entirely automated—create Register Client system Clients use Internet to register and pay for trips Equipment is automatically reserved in inventory Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

15 Information Systems for Facilitating Linkages Among Activities
Create database application to track equipment, location, status New activity “Process Equipment Database” Updates database from Register Clients, Assemble & Ship, Restore Equipment activities The trip scheduler can reserve special equipment and be notified if not available Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

24 Functional Applications and Business Process Management (BPM)
Functional process Model of “as-is” functional process Create components Evaluate functional applications and select one that provides closest fit (Off-the-Shelf) Implement processes/application Build remaining components of information system 4.

29 Manufacturing-Scheduling Applications
Generate master production schedule (MPS) Analyzes past sales to estimate future sales Three philosophies of manufacturing Pull manufacturing process Products are pulled through manufacturing by demand. Produced in response to signals from customers or other production processes. (Demand-side method, JIT) Push manufacturing process Analyze past sales levels, make estimates of future sales, create master production schedule. Produce and push into sales (Supply-side method) Combined push and pull systems Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

30 Manufacturing-Scheduling Applications (cont’d)

32 Q6: What Are the Functions of Accounting Applications?
Cost-accounting applications determine marginal cost and profitability Accounts receivable includes receivables, payments, and collections Cash management is the process of scheduling payments and planning use of cash Financial reporting applications produce financial statements General ledgers show assets and liabilities Accounts payable systems reconcile payments against purchasers Budgeting applications allocate and schedule revenues and expenses Treasury applications concern management and investment Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

33 Q7: What Are the Problems of Functional Processes?
Data is duplicated because each functional application has its own database Business processes disjointed because supporting applications separated Difficult for activities to reconcile data and increases chances of errors Lack of integrated enterprise information Inefficiency Increased costs due to duplicated data, disjointed systems, limited information, and inefficiencies Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Q5: What Are the Functions and Characteristics of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Applications? Important characteristics of EAI: Connects system “islands” via a new layer of applications Leverages existing systems—leaving functional legacy applications as is, but providing an integration layer over the top Enables a gradual move to ERP (Application Suite) Has no centralized database Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

46 Q6: What Is a Realistic Role for BPM in Cross-Functional Processes?
Most organizations will adopt BPM in principle and concept of four stages of BPM cycle accept any inherent processes in CRM or ERP applications and model new process activities around those endorse service-oriented components from their CRM and ERP application vendors EAI is ideally suited to SOA (Service-oriented Architecture) ERP vendors are converting their application components to SOA, because it makes it easier to integrate with other applications Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
