1. Johan Erikson Statistics Sweden Luxemburg, March 2012

2. Agenda Background GSBPM, process support system (PSS) What is Triton?
Some screenshots of interfaces – in Swedish
The future
Triton Seminarium 1

3. Background Move towards process oriented production
Process support system (PSS) – from information to steering the production
Triton – first move in this direction – for data collection and micro editing
Collection/editing background:
Existing common tools – bad bridges
Manual work – shuffling and transforming data
Survey specific production systems – dependency on single persons
VB6 – old technique in old systems
Triton Seminarium 1

4. What do we want? Common environment, not survey specific
Reduce (eliminate) manual data shuffling
Mixed mode (web & paper) normal
One system, able to configure for surveys
New surveys – new configuration, not new system
Updated technique - .NET
Built in separate modules that are separated, possible to replace
Integrate existing tools, add additional necessary tools
Must feel like one interface
Triton Seminarium 1

5. The goals for the Triton platform
Lower costs for maintenance and support of IT systems
Less dependency on single persons
More effective production
Better working environment for collection/editing staff
Less manual work
Easy to configure new surveys
Better possibilities to improve the process
Facilitate working in many surveys
Take a step towards process oriented production

6. GSBPM and Statistics Sweden
Have adopted a process oriented approach
Based on Generic Statistical Business Process Model

7. GSBPM and Statistics Sweden
Information available to support production process
Information provided by process owners
Process owners

8. A lot of information Process descriptions
Which parts are
relevant for
us?
Process descriptions
Multiple levels
Checklists to support quality assurance
Survey 1

9. The goals for the process support system (PSS)
Provide a survey oriented view of
Process descriptions
Checklists for quality assurance
Process oriented tools
Show state of process execution
Support collaboration between groups and roles
Triton is the first step towards implementing this in practice
New part of PSS created to support this – process areas

13. Triton step by step (1)
Define survey, survey rounds, collection rounds
Set parameters
Sub-systems are loaded and prepared
Collection activities are defined
Define variables
Build collection instrument (web, paper, scanning)
Uses defined variables
Define edit checks (done within web collection builder)
Define value sets
Re-use of value sets used in building instrument

14. Triton step by step (2) Load sample, background info
Configure EDIT settings
Send out survey – run collection
Send data (respondent)
Handle duplicates
Edit data
Transfer data to survey

15. PSS process areas - structure

Activities (quality assurance support, support for planning)
Based on design choices
Possible to add survey specific activities

24. The future – what happens next?
Implementation
Maintenance, production support
Further development of Triton platform
Expansion of the thoughts – support further processes in a similar way through PSS

25. Thank you for your attention! Any questions?
