Submission By 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday end of week5/Module3.1 For intensive class: By 11:55pm AEST/AEDT Sunday end of Week 3/Module 3.2 Weighting 25% Total Marks 100 marks Context: This assessment is designed to develop student’s understanding of business processes; analyse existing organisation’s processes; and suggests ways to improve the organisation’s current business process inefficiencies using Information Technology. Instructions: In groups of 2 or 3, analyse the organisation brief provided. For the business process described in the organisation’s brief, 1. identify: a. participants b. inputs c. outputs 2. Develop the current business process model using BPMN notation. 3. Identify and describe current strengths and inefficiencies that are present in the current system. ACCT6001 Assessment 1 – Business Process Analysis Page 2 of 6 4. Suggest ways that the business process inefficiencies could be corrected through business process re-engineering and the use of IT . 5. Identify technologies that can help improve the business process. 6. Show the proposed business process model using BPMN and explain how the newly re-engineered system would operate. Outcome to be submitted: Submit the document containing the business process analysis and recommendation. Suggested document content (not a required format but only a suggestion): • Statement of Scope –. Naming your process with a clear name in the [Verb] [Noun] syntax and writing a starts with / ends when statement will help you clearly identify the scope of the process. • Desired Outcome –. A clear answer to why we work through this process will guide your analysis. • Process Flow or Activity Descriptions –a list of the steps completed by people in certain roles. This is the primary or most common path through the business process. • Exceptions – In addition to the primary path, you want to include variations. What happens if information on a form is illegible, a required piece of information is not provided, or a special condition is met? • Business Rules – Your process flow will presume a certain set of rules are followed or enforce those rules. As processes get more complex, it often makes sense to break the business rules out separately so they can be more easily managed as they change. • Entry Criteria and Inputs – Entry Criteria identify what needs to be true in order for the process to start. Inputs identify any tangible work items someone executing the business process needs to have present-at-hand. • Exit Criteria and Outputs – Exit Criteria identify what needs to be true when the process ends. Outputs identify tangible work items generated through the course of the business process. • Workflow Diagram –visual model showing the primary activity steps and exceptions. When multiple roles are involved, a swimlane diagram is a good choice • Process strengths – what were the strengths of the current business process • Process inefficiencies – what were the problems with the current processes • Business Process Re-engineering – how process can be improved through process re-engineering and through the use of IT. Discuss suggested technologies and how it can be used. • Proposed Workflow Diagram - visual model of the proposed business process • References Reference: Business Process Model (n.d.), Retrieved on May 25, 2016, from http://www.bridging-the-gap.com/how-to-analyze-a-business-process/ Criteria • Understanding of the business processes in the organisation ACCT6001 Assessment 1 – Business Process Analysis Page 3 of 6 • Problem analysis • Process improvement and use of IT • Team Work skills ACCT6001 Assessment 1 - Business Process Analysis Page 4 of 6 Learning Rubrics Assessment Attributes Fail (Unacceptable) Pass (Functional) Credit (Proficient) Distinction (Advanced) High Distinction (Exceptional) Points Understanding of the business processes in the organisation 30% The description of the steps to achieve the goal of the organisation has not been identified correctly.

Introduction
GAAM is an international company that produces buildingsystems, hydraulicsystems and metal products. In particular, it has created waterproof equipment,for example, gear pumps along with motors, control valves and telescopic cylinders. These products are utilized in heavy vehicles,for instance, cranes and are sold to the domestic (US) as well as foreign-made products. The company is headquartered in South Australia. 27 factories in seven countries, recruiting approximately 3,800 employees worldwide. GAAM decided to organize a process reconstruction project aimed at improving the global competitive position. Your company was ready to go into deeper investigation of all the departments of the company. You have expected a business process re-engineering recommendation for development.
Current Business process
At present, business processes are paperwork in the organization, but some customers suddenly order in demand over a short period of time.
Participants:With the current business process in organizations like employees, suppliers, purchasing departments, MRO buyers and various departments in most customers.
Input:The purchasing department received an MRO request from 36 different people in the company. This request can be in the form of MRO card,otherwise, purchase order. If you need to buy, the card is usually used to purchase items for new items. The limit for each person they are authorized to purchase is usually between $500 and $1000. If this limit is exceeded, the next higher-level person should be approved in exchange for the purchase/requirement form of the purchasing authority(Basak and Guha, 2016). This is why there is a "command line" command to authorize all MERO permissions.
Output:When the card/requirement arrives at the purchase portion, it is studied and signed by MRO purchaser. After that, create a P/O for the purchased item. If the item card is required, the card will be returned by the department that made the purchase request after purchase. At present, about 8,000 cards have been saved in different departments. If the purchase order requires the item, the form purchasing department has submitted the item. This P/OS assignment is similar to an inventory purchase. The P/OS is placed in P/O program. In some cases, if there is an urgent situation in which the item is now required, the person purchasing the MRO buyer will have an emergency, and the purchase number of the department is different from the order of use on the ordinary P/OS. Once you put this number sideways, you can buy it(Batocchio, Ghezzi and Rangone, 2016). The purchasing division will then finish the purchase order and will usually deliver the purchase order.

Current strength and inefficiencies in the current system
Process strengths,
The shopping department is primarily responsible for purchasing hydraulic pump stocks. Maintenance, repair and operating supplies (MRO) are also bought by the department. This comprises any tool that need to be machined, no additional materials,for example, base sand, several components for casting, in addition, any other product-related services or products. The department consists of purchasing manager, 2 shoppers and a clerk/secretary(Bhargava, Levalle and Nof, 2016). It buys an average of $15 million in the inventory objects or up to 3,000 parts per year. A $6 million purchase at MRO every year.
Process inefficiencies,
The purchasing department needs to provide new MROs for the new department every day. Furthermore, several purchases are part of an old replacement. For this, the MRO buyer, important supplier and pricing studies are required. This study represents most of the working hours of the MRO.
Business rules for the business process
For the improvement of current business operation GAAM should followed the following business rules:
In addition to the MRO purchaser, the buyer purchases if the item is urgent in an emergency, the department needs a different shopping number than the serial number used on normal P/OS. Once you put this number apart, you can buy it. The...
