Business Process Mapping

Simulation is a powerful technique that enables business analysts to replicate the execution of a business process and study the resource consumption, such as human resources and devices, throughout the process. By identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement, simulation can help refine the current business process and reallocate resources for better efficiency. The simulation tool provides visual simulation capabilities as well as functions to generate charts and reports. In this tutorial, we will explore the business process of performing a body check and utilize the simulation tool to identify potential changes that can…continue reading →

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a simple conversation diagram for a logistics system. The conversation diagram visually represents the messages exchanged between different participants, also known as pools. By following this tutorial, you will learn how to create a clear and concise conversation diagram to represent the communication flow in your logistics system. (more…)

BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is a visual representation that enables companies to better understand their internal business procedures. It utilizes different symbols to represent the activities involved in a business process. With Visual Paradigm's BPMN tools, you can easily draw a Business Process Diagram (BPD). In this tutorial, we will use the leave application process as an example to demonstrate how a Business Process diagram can effectively showcase the process. (more…)

Developing and populating As-Is and To-Be BPMN diagrams is an effective technique for turning a vision into results. The As-Is diagram offers a detailed overview of the current state of the organization's process, culture, and capabilities. The To-Be diagram, on the other hand, provides an overview of the future state, outlining how the organization's process, culture, and capabilities will appear in the future. By creating these diagrams, organizations can analyze and identify gaps between the current and desired states and initiate business process reengineering or improvement initiatives to close these gaps. What is…continue reading →

A Business Process Diagram is an effective tool for modeling the workflow in your company or department, as it provides a clear picture of the responsible parties and the flow of the process. However, it does not specify how a particular task should be performed. With Visual Paradigm, you can define working procedures for tasks in your business process, allowing you to document how each task should be performed. This tutorial will guide you through the process of defining working procedures for your business process and generating them into a comprehensive report that…continue reading →

In any business process, data is a crucial element that flows through various tasks and activities. BPMN provides a dedicated element called "Data Object" to model these data flows in a structured way. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use BPMN Data Objects to represent data in a business process diagram and how to link these data objects with an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to describe the internal structure of data. (more…)

Business process analysis involves examining and improving business processes through the creation of process models. To effectively communicate the analysis to stakeholders, clear and engaging presentations are necessary. This tutorial will demonstrate how to use animation tools in Visual Paradigm to create presentations that convey complex concepts in a compelling way. By incorporating animation and other visual elements, these presentations can facilitate better understanding, consensus-building, and decision-making during the analysis process. Business Process Presentation - The Problem When it comes to presenting a business process model, some people prefer to use slideshows and…continue reading →

Relatively speaking, while it may take "little" money to design a business process, it takes a whole lot more for implementation. So it is immensely important that we think twice to make sure that it is worthwhile to do so beforehand. This is where computer simulation comes in to help via load and performance testing. They give us some ideas as to how the system or process would behave under the scenarios we defined, quantitatively, in terms of cost and time investment. In this tutorial, we will show you how to set parameter…continue reading →

If you're looking to transfer your business process models from Bizagi to Visual Paradigm, you're in the right place. Visual Paradigm provides a simple solution to import Bizagi's .bpm files directly into its business process diagrams. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of migrating your work from Bizagi to Visual Paradigm step by step, so you can continue working on your process models with ease. Whether you're switching BPM software or simply looking to collaborate with others who use Visual Paradigm, this tutorial will help you make the transition smoothly. (more…)

Have you ever encountered a scenario where a task needs to be completed by more than one role? In Business Process Diagrams (BPDs), this can be achieved by assigning secondary pools to the task. While this is not a common practice, it can be useful in certain situations. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to assign secondary pools to a task in BPD using Visual Paradigm, a powerful modeling tool that makes it easy to create and manage complex business process models.
