Model business processes

After you review the processes of the Enterprise Business Model, you must customize and model the processes in the DEM repository

Take the following steps:

  1. Customize the business processes that do not match the customer’ s business in the DEM repository.
  2. Model new business processes if the processes are not available in the repository. Make sure that customer-specific main processes are linked to a main business function. In addition, make sure that the main business function is linked to the functional decomposition and, if applicable, a business case BCD.
  3. Document which business processes are changed or added to the repository.

  4. Update the project model or reference model in DEM:

    • Transform the business functions to update the business processes in the project model or reference model.
    • Link work instructions to process activities where needed.
Note

If a corporate reference model has been created, you must repeat some of the previous steps for each site implementation, which means you must do the following:

  • Review the major function BCD and business cases of the corporate reference model.
  • Model the site-specific major function BCD and business cases in DEM.
  • Create a site-specific project model.
  • Review the business processes of the corporate reference model.
  • Model the site-specific business processes in DEM.

At this point, the project model or reference model contains all business cases, major and main business functions, and business processes that meet the customer’ s business requirements and that are within the scope of the modeling and implementation project.
