Create a Business Process Model "swimlane" diagram using basic BPMN for the order-to-cash processes for 1-888-Junk Van. First prepare with a little research, then complete the deliverables listed below.
Deliverables: Submit both of the following:
- Business Process Model
- Write-up addressing topics below
Keep your diagram simple, but make sure to include all critical activities in role-based swim lanes separated by lines.
Include your name in the file name and on the first page.
Regarding the diagram:
- If you draw it using software other than Powerpoint or Excel
(such as Visio), then please submit a copy in a .pdf, html or other
common format for grading purposes
- You may draw it on paper and submit a photo - just make sure it
is legible
- I'm expecting a first draft -- not the type of polished effort
that comes from locking a team in a room for a month
- Don't obsess over the details of the diagramming standard -- you
should have one or more swimlanes, circles for events at the
beginning and end, boxes for activities, diamonds for
branching/merging and arrows showing the flow.
Topics to address in the brief write-up (expected length -
minimum: several paragraphs, maximum: 1 page):
- Discuss the decisions you had to make to produce the diagram and
why you chose the way you did
- If this was your first experience documenting a process, what did
you learn?
- What ideas do you have regarding how this process could be
improved?
