Since process models have become embedded in the BPM approach, the idea of a reference model or best-practice has emerged into BPM. Reference models can be thought of as templates from which process models may be developed. Reference models are often developed by associations of professionals. Therefore they are quite knowledge intensive. Examples of reference models include the APQC Process Classification Framework (PCF), the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), or the Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR).

The Concept of Reference Models

Enterprise Architecture

An enterprise architecture (EA) describes the structure of an enterprise, its decomposition into subsystems, the relationships between the subsystems, the relationships with the external environment, the terminology to use, and the guiding principles for the design and evolution of an enterprise.

An enterprise architecture provides a holistic, systematic description of an enterprise. It encompasses business functions, business process, people, organisation, business information, software applications and computer systems with their relationships to enterprise goals. The hope for enterprise architecture is that applying systematic rational methods to the design of an enterprise will produce one that more effectively and efficiently pursues its purposes.

Enterprise architecture models the organization’s core mission, each component critical to performing that mission, and how each of these components is interrelated. These components include: guiding principles, organization structure, business processes, people or stakeholders, applications, data, infrastructure, and other technologies.

Business Model

A business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value - economic, social, or other forms of value. The process of business model design is part of business strategy.

In theory and practice the term business model is used for a broad range of informal and formal descriptions to represent core aspects of a business, including purpose, offerings, strategies, infrastructure, organizational structures, trading practices, and operational processes and policies.

Business Process Management (BPM) Definition

Business Process Management (BPM) is a management discipline that requires

organizations to shift to process-centric thinking, and to reduce their reliance on traditional

territorial and functional structures.

BPM requires and enables organizations to manage the complete revision cycles of their

processes, from process design to monitoring and optimization, and to change them more

frequently to adjust to changing circumstances.

The development of BPM technologies is enabling business managers to abstract process

flows and rules from the underlying applications and infrastructure, and to change them

directly.

BPM is neither a technology nor an updated version of BPR. It is an IT-enabled

management discipline. It represents a fundamental change in how business manage and

run their processes

Business Model Management Definition

The business model is simply a working description that includes the general details about the

operations of a business. As part of the business model, there is a need to address internal factors

that relate to the ongoing operation of the company. The competencies that are contained within the

business model will address functions, purpose, offerings and services, including such factors as: Corporate structure, infrastructure & responsible The main business goals, e.g. strategic business objectives, critical success factors and

key performance indicators Business Issues/pain points Core and None core Value creation and realization Financial indicators: Revenues and Cost

Working with once business model helps a company to maintain focus on a core competitiveness

and core differentiation, while keeping a comparative advantage with the none core competencies.

Periodic reviews and updates help to keep the business model relevant to current competition,

market changes, economic conditions and consumer demands. Generally speaking, the most that

has to do with the strategic decisions and operation of the corporation can be said to be part of

business model management.

Determining Process PerformanceProcess Performance can only be measured if appropriate Performance Indicators are identified

Clarify process scope (e.g. define start- and end-point of all involved processes, interfaces to other processes / work-streams)

Identify and define adequate Process Performance Indicators (PPIs)

Determine to-be values of PPIs, consider benchmarks as far as possible

Evaluate measurement of as-is values of PPIs (e.g. read timestamps in systems)

Record cycle time of all involved sub-processes (complete coverage of process chain)
