GEC
BPAMTM Consists of Discrete Work Steps to Yield Expected Results Fact Gathering
- conduct interviews; identify documents, data, forms, specifications, rules, policies,
and procedures Activity & Artifact Documentation - define all process activities, tasks, responsible parties, durations, time delays, rules, and internal control
weakness points. Work Flow Diagramming & Analysis - prepare graphical
representations of activities, tasks, organization units, relationships, internal
control
points, and rules/gateways Support Systems Assessment - evaluate information supports systems utilized in the
"Current State" process execution Process Improvement Identification - identify changes that support process improvement
objectives to reduce waste, reduce costs, and improve
workflow efficiency Process Modeling & Simulation - use of process modeling software to simulate process execution
and defined improvement alternatives, including Activity
Based Costing techniques, to define the desired "To Be State' Support
System Enhancements - identify changes/modifications to existing systems and procedures to realize process improvements
utilizing
existing investments in technology Business Case Development - prepare
the business case to design and implement new Business Process Management Suites  Business Process Analysis is Essential for Improving Organizational Effectiveness Business Process Improvement (BPI) May or May Not Need Implementation of Business Process Management (BPM) Software. A Comperehensive Analysis of Current Processes, Coupled with a Sound Business Case, will Enable an Organization to Capitalize on Existing Investments in Information Technology and Determine the Return Investment for New Technology Platforms.
Small Teams and Interactive Workshops GEC consultants work with small teams of client subject matter experts to analyze and document
process activities and artifacts in a collaborative environment. GEC documentation forms are used as standard practice
to capture information in Business Process Analysis (BPA) workshops to prepare both "Current State" and "To
Be State" models that serve as both input and a framework for process simulations using a process modeling software tool.
Interactive workshops benefit from the experience and perspective by team members from
diverse departments and backgrounds. Team members with engineering, administrative, operations, accounting, finance, and human
resources backgrounds present different views for process executon. Our industry expertise and structured approach in
consort with our client experience and knowledge of organizational policies and procedures yields quality results in
short timeframes.
Proven Comprehensive Approach GEC resources have
assisted government and commercial entities with Enterprise Architecture (EA) through the development of integrated organization,
process, and technology models. Business Process Analysis (BPA) is integral to Enterprise Architecture development. The combined team of GEC consultants and organization resources analyze in detail, the activities, tasks, durations,
responsibilities, documents, and bottlenecks inherent in administrative, operational, and project support processes.
All information is documented using standard documentation forms and data collection tools which are used for
BPI, EA, and BPM software implementations.
Demonstrable Improvements GEC has developed an approach and methodology that incorporates the defacto Business Process Management Notation (BPMN) standard for business process modeling. GEC resources are currently utilizing this methodology for BPA at several governmental entities. The results of the BPA will drive process improvement initiatives to improve efficiency, increase organizational effectiveness, reduce costs, and optimize work task execution for both human resources and information systems. Typical processes include: Human Resources, Budgeting, Engineering, Purchasing, Construction Planning, Contract Administration, Plant Outages, Corrective & Preventive Maintenance Planning & Control, Accounting, Finance, Facilities, and Marketing.
