Process Modeling
Definition of process modeling
Process modeling refers to the graphical representation of processes and workflows. The visual depiction helps to better understand procedures and also to identify inefficiencies and make necessary adjustments.
Process modeling is the graphical representation of processes and workflows. The visual representation serves to make processes easier to understand, but also to identify inefficient processes and make adjustments. Business processes are widespread in finance and insurance. But that doesn't mean that they are efficient. Some process steps are even superfluous, take up time and are really expensive. Process modeling can help make processes truly efficient from start to finish and uncover inefficient steps.
Why is process modeling important?
Process modeling pursues one goal: the simplified representation of complex processes. The graphical overview creates a basis for optimising business processes. Process modeling serves, among other things,
... uncover inefficient processes: Unnecessary steps, bottlenecks, gaps or automation opportunities can be better identified in the process flow.
... save time and money: Eliminating unnecessary steps and automating the remaining steps saves a lot of time and greatly reduces operating costs.
... to supplement automation: Banal activities that could be automated become recognisable. Monotonous processes are a thing of the past.
... to relieve employees: Unnecessary steps are demotivating for employees. The time could be used more sensibly, which increases employee motivation.
... coordinate responsibilities and communication: responsibilities for individual steps become clear and communication between people or units is simplified.
... to digitise business processes: The digitisation and automation of business processes make everyday working life easier. Keyword: workflow management.
In the future, specialist departments will model processes themselves
Specialist departments quickly identify inefficient steps and problems because they are closest to the business processes. You know exactly which steps work well and which are completely pointless. This is why specialist departments feel the need to eliminate inefficient process steps themselves instead of having to wait for the IT department.
Specialists can now take the first step and outline their processes independently, without having to take the longer route via the IT department. This reduces the actual development process enormously. There are fewer communication errors. A positive side effect is that specially developed processes are preferred to be used in the department.
