Introduction - Requirements for DMM

DMM

}

Provide a common basis for developing business models for computer-supported management of business performance

}

Provide a language framework for integrating multiple domain modeling languages (methods), to support analysis, design, g , and generation g of p process-aware business solutions

}

Provide a business-friendly modeling environment for developing process-centric process centric business domain models

}

Use BPMN as the standard notation for processes

}

Leverage other “process� knowledge : UML, BPMN, Rules

Introduction – Models & Model Types

DMM

}

Models

A model is an abstraction or representation of some subject matter and is one of the following types: •

•

}

Data Model

An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) which is made up of three (3) components: • • •

}

Iconic Models – These resemble the physical objects they represent, except that they are smaller and simplified; examples include an aircraft mockup used for wind tunnel testing or an architect’s model of a building Symbolic Model – These represent concepts and ideas that usually do not resemble the subject; examples include a mathematical model of the economy, a representation of some physical phenomenon (i.e., the weather), th ) or conceptual t l (i.e., (i a budget b d t or a project j t plan) l )

Entities – These are distinct things about which information is needed (i.e., Order, Customer, Product, Supplier, etc.)

Association – A relationship among those entities Attributes – Facts about each entity that must be recorded

Obj Object Model M d l

A class diagram which is made up of three (3) components: • • •

Type – Semantic definition of a domain concept in terms of its interfaces and behavior Association – A relationship (or references) between these types Attributes – State of the instances of the type

Resource Qualification Policy Statement is a logical expression, represented visually as an AND-OR tree.

The root nodes denote the logical operators, and are represented by folders. The leaf nodes represent “terms” (non-Boolean expressions) such as Role, Group, Resource and Requester function. The leaf nodes may also represent “formulae” (Boolean expressions).

The DMM Framework provides the following: 1. Assigns the expression to the “Swim” Lane variable – (Performer Assignment).

Generates the hypothesis (goal) expressions that are processed by the Resource Management Engine (RME) as follows: Allocate the resource that satisfies the qualifications of either having the role Data_Network_Administrator, or a member of the group Administrator, and didn’t initiate the process, to the Task(s) that are the responsibility of the Performer bound to the Lane Lane.

Business Strategy & Goals

Most companies spend a lot of time developing strategic (highlevel) objectives to run their business Business objectives derived from these high-level objectives are then developed at the function (department) level Measures and metrics are then defined to measure the p progress g of achieving these particular goals and objectives

Strategic Measures & Controls - Metrics

DMM

M t i Metrics

Metrics or key performance indicators (KPI) provide the analyst a feel for the dynamics of the process. They provide a framework for: • • •

}

Providing guidance to focus the analysis effort Helping establish a baseline against which to measure the process performance Evaluating the success of the re-designed process

Metrics Categories

Volume - You must be able to count executions of your process, because if you can’t count the process deliverables, either you don’t understand or it isn’t a process. Measures include total number of cases produced, proportion of different cases, proportion of different results, etc.

Time - How much time does it take to complete the workflow? The time measures may include: cycle time, etc.

Cost - This is a measure of the cost of producing a work product.

Efficiency ff - Typical measures off efficiency ff and effectiveness ff include: % scrap or rework, % errors, etc.

Quality - Typical measures of efficiency and effectiveness include: % scrap y, etc. or rework,, % errors,, ease of use,, accuracy, IDL Confidential & Proprietary

Strategic Measures & Controls – Volume Metrics Circuit Order Management Process Examples of Volume Metrics include: •Total Volume or Frequency: Circuit Orders Placed – (Process End Event Notification Message, or recorded Audit Data Event) •Proportion of different triggers or Cases: Order Types – (New Service, Upgrade Service, Change Service, Terminate Service) •Proportion of different “results”: Accepted, Rejected, Cancelled).

Conditions based on changes (events) that occur in a particular context. These conditions can be used as monitoring constraints in Change Condition Steps.
