A business process is a collection of related, structured activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product (serve a particular goal) for a particular customer or customers. There are three main types of business processes: ManagementManagement processes, the processes that govern the operation of a system. OperationalOperational processes, processes that constitute the core business and create the primary value stream. SupportingSupporting processes, which support the core processes processes.

20. Service Design / Figure 3.11 The Generic Process Elements 1.describes a 'mega-process' such as Change Management. In practices this level strives to give readers a broad, high-level understanding of the process in question. At this level of abstraction the entire process should be able to be displayed on a single page.. 2.translates a Level 1 process such as Change Management into major process functions. Process Level 2 process documentation depicts the inputs, outputs, controls, mechanisms and major activities for each process function. 3.defines and sequences the main events within each process function. At this level of decomposition, we would find the detailed activities associated with, to continue the example, Change Administration processes such as Reviewing & Closing RFCs, Updating Change FSC, etc. and depicts in increasing details the inputs, outputs, controls, mechanisms and major activities for each process event. 4.defines the sub processes and activities within a main process. At this level of detail, Change Managements' Emergency Change Advisory Board process would be captured in fine enough detail so that the subject matter experts and process performers can clearly understand how the process relates to their work 5.defines the supplemental procedures and reference material used to guide, clarify or instruct how tasks are performed. The analysis of business processes typically includes the mapping of processes and sub-processes down to activity level. Typically up to five levels of decomposition can be followed with decompositions below levels 3 at the discretion of the sub- organizations.

21. Service Design / Figure 3.11 The Generic Process Elements There are a number of different modelling languages in use: The objective of BPMN is to support business process management for both technical users and business users by providing a notation that is intuitive to business users yet able to represent complex process semantics.

22. Service Design / Figure 3.11 The Generic Process Elements There are a number of different modelling languages in use: Used to specify, visualize, modify, construct and document the artefacts of an object-oriented software intensive system. UML aims to be a standard modeling language which can model concurrent and distributed systems.

23. Service Design / Figure 3.11 The Generic Process Elements There are a number of different modelling languages in use: Standard executable language for specifying interactions with Web Services. Processes in Business Process Execution Language export and import information by using Web Service interfaces exclusively.

24. Service Design / Figure 3.11 The Generic Process Elements There are a number of different modelling languages in use: Consists of a hierarchical series of diagrams, text, and glossary cross referenced to each other. The two primary modeling components are: functions (represented on a diagram by boxes), and data and objects that interrelate those functions (represented by arrows).

25. Service Design / Figure 3.11 The Generic Process Elements There are a number of different modelling languages in use: The position at which the arrow attaches to a box conveys the specific role of the interface. The Controls enter the top of the box. The Inputs, the data or objects acted upon by the operation, enter the box from the left. The Outputs of the operation leave the right-hand side of the box. Mechanism arrows that provide supporting means for performing the function join (point up to) the bottom of the box. Trigger The process is often initiated by an event.

Today, leading companies use a combination of integration techniques to implement their end to end business processes. Businesses need technologies for the management of business processes that are genuinely usable, very flexible and capable of integrating systems across all kinds of business and technology barriers.
