MPB 10_1 Implementasi Proses dengan Executable Models

Summary

This video lecture delves into the implementation phase of business process management (BPM), focusing on making processes executable using modern BPM tools. It discusses classifying tasks into automated, manual, and user tasks and their representation in BPMN. Challenges include handling manual tasks that are not visible in BPMS and addressing process exceptions that may be overlooked in conceptual models. The lecture emphasizes the need for detailed and structured models that define task data, manage exceptions, and ensure complete information flow for automated decision-making. Viewers learn how to prepare models for deployment and handle real-world complexities for efficient business process execution.

Takeaways

• 📘 The implementation phase of BPM is crucial for transforming process models into executable formats using BPMS.
• 🔍 Before execution, it is essential to analyze manual tasks and ensure the process model is complete and detailed.
• 🛠️ Tasks in a process are divided into three main categories: automated, manual, and user tasks, each with specific characteristics.
• ⚙️ Automated tasks can include scripts, services, business rules, and send/receive functions, each represented by unique BPMN markers.
• 🖐️ Manual tasks are those performed without software assistance, making them invisible to BPMS and requiring modifications for visibility.
• 🔄 User tasks involve human participation supported by a worklist handler or external tools, facilitating a semi-automated approach.
• 📊 Exception handling in process models is necessary as real-world processes often include exceptions that must be accounted for.
• 💻 Data structures and types must be explicitly modeled in executable processes, including their attributes and value ranges.
• 📐 Conceptual models may omit certain details for simplicity, but executable models need comprehensive data and process flow specifications.
• 💡 Converting manual tasks into user or automated tasks can enhance process visibility and tracking, making processes more efficient.

Q & A

What is the focus of this lecture on Business Process Management (BPM)?

The lecture focuses on how to implement business processes in the BPM lifecycle, particularly making them executable using modern BPM tools.

What are the first steps in implementing a business process within the BPM lifecycle?

The first steps include analyzing tasks, ensuring the process model is complete and granular, specifying execution properties, and ensuring everything is ready for deployment.

What is the challenge with automating business processes, and how is it addressed?

Not all processes can be automated. The challenge is determining which parts can be automated with BPMS and which parts need manual intervention. This is addressed by carefully analyzing and defining the scope of automation within the process.

How are tasks categorized in BPM implementation?

Tasks are categorized into three types: automated tasks, manual tasks, and user tasks. Automated tasks are managed by BPMS or external services, manual tasks are performed by humans without software support, and user tasks involve human participation with BPMS support.

What symbols are used in BPMN to differentiate task types?

In BPMN, manual tasks are marked with a hand symbol, user tasks are marked with a user icon, and automated tasks are represented with various markers such as a script or gear icon for automation, or other specific markers for business rules or message exchanges.

Why is it important to specify the properties of a business process during implementation?

Specifying execution properties ensures that the process can be effectively and efficiently executed by the BPMS, and that all details are clearly defined for deployment.

What challenges are associated with manual tasks in BPMN, and how can they be addressed?

Manual tasks are not visible to BPMS, making tracking difficult. This can be addressed by automating aspects of manual tasks, like using scanners or other devices, which makes the task visible to the BPMS and allows for status tracking.

What does the term 'data model' refer to in the context of BPM implementation?

The data model in BPM refers to defining the data objects required for the process, including their attributes, values, and how they are used within the process. For an executable model, all necessary data and their structures need to be explicitly defined.

How should exceptions be handled in BPM modeling?

Exceptions should be explicitly modeled within the BPM process. This can include creating additional branching to handle exceptions that occur in real-world scenarios, ensuring the process can be executed as intended even when unexpected events happen.

What is the importance of making a process model executable?

Making a process model executable is crucial because it allows the process to be directly applied to real business cases, automating tasks, and ensuring the process runs smoothly from start to finish within the BPMS.
