In this context, the term “improvement” may take different meanings depending on the objectives of the organisation. Typical examples of improvement objectives include reducing costs, reducing execution times and reducing error rates. Improvement initiatives may be one-off, but also display a more continuous nature. BPM is about managing entire chains of events, activities and decisions that ultimately add value to the organisation and its customers. These “chains of events, activities and decisions” are called processes. ITECH 5404 BUSINESS PROCESS ANALYTICS AND CHANGE CRICOS Provider No. 00103D itech 5404_02_assignment_2018-17.docx Page 2 of 3 Requirements In this assignment, you will be required to form teams of approximately four (4) people. One team member is to be elected the team leader for the duration of the assignment. Teams will prepare a business report based on a process case study and should use their own initiative regarding any assumptions and cycle times if needed. An electronic copy of a case study will be available from your tutor or course lecturer. The report should contain details of the following tasks: a). Provide a description and application of a process categorisation model (e.g. Porter or Earl). b). Provide a description and application of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). c). Apply Dijkman et al’s (2011) technique discussed in lectures to prepare a case function matrix and identify all associated processes. d). Using appropriate software, model any two (2) of the processes identified in part (c). e). Provide an explanation of how each of the models created in part (d), adhere to Mendling et al’s (2010) 7PMG guidelines discussed in the week lecture. f). Consider each model produced in part (d), calculate the process cycle time for each of the two (2) processes modelled. Any assumptions made should be documented in the report. g). Use redesign techniques by Reijers and Mansar (2005) discussed in lectures, to identify any two (2) design flaws in the as-is models created in part (d). Use heuristics and any appropriate product-based design approaches and display the impact of any heuristic measures on the Devil’s Quadrangle. Any assumptions made should be documented in the report. h). Select one of the models created in part (d) for automation. Apply the five (5) step method to transform the model into executable form. A suggested template for the above report is provided. You can use it as a guideline for presenting your business report. For assistance in report writing techniques, see: http://unilearning.uow.edu.au/report/4b.html A suggested report structure is as follows.

The processes in parts (d), (e), (f) and (g) should be completed by two (2) different students. Each student is required to undertake a minimum of three (3) tasks. Each team member’s sections should be clearly labelled with their name. If this is not done, marks will be averaged across the team members. A quality team report will demonstrate a synthesis of content, knowledge, skills and ideas acquired from lectures, tutorials and academic authors with details from the case study provided. Academic Presentation Team reports should be presented as a business or management style report, in accordance with: • General Guide to Referencing: https://federation.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/313328/FedUni-General- Guide-to-Referencing-2016ed.pdf • General Guide to Writing and Study Skills: http://federation.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/190044/General-Guide-to-Writing-and-Study-Skills.pdf.

Powered and non-powered sites are available, and newly renovated holiday cabins for those wanting some luxury. All accommodation options are available short and long-term. The cabins are self-contained with each accommodating up to 6 people and including a kitchenette, lounge, TV and DVD, toilet and shower room. Campers travel from all around and outlying areas to stay at the park and rave about the amenities and activities available. On check-in all short and long-term campers, are required to sign a register, and must provide details of the driver(s) current driver(s) license, and their vehicle(s) registration to administration staff. This takes around 5 minutes. Without a driver’s license the camper cannot book into their accommodation. In addition, on check-in all campers are provided with a park map. Staff use the map to explain the locations of camping sites, cabins, laundry, toilet and shower blocks, BBQ facilities, rubbish disposal, swimming pool, mini-golf, tennis courts, and recreation room. This takes 5 minutes. All campers are provided a swipe key for access to all areas, including park entry and exit. Staff demonstrate it’s use. This takes around 5 minutes. Shared amenities are provided. The BBQ, toilet and shower blocks are available free to all campers. Water is included in all site and cabin costs, with all campers being able to provide their own hose and fittings or rent ($1 per day). Electricity is also included in the site and cabin costs, with all vacationers being able to provide their own power boards and cords or rent ($1 per day). The laundry is only available to those camping on powered and non- powered sites using the swipe card. Washing machines and driers can be accessed ($2 per load). Small fridges are available for rent to campers only ($5 per day). Toilet and shower blocks are cleaned twice daily at 6:00 am and 17:00 pm. Laundry’s are cleaned once daily at 18:00 pm. Each cleaning session takes contract cleaners around 30 minutes. All campers are required to dispose of their rubbish in the rubbish disposal area with park waste bins emptied daily at 17:00 pm. The rubbish pick-up and disposal takes around 45 minutes by grounds maintenance staff. After departure all powered and non-powered sites are checked, cleaned if needed, and the grass is mown by grounds maintenance staff. Sites typically require cleaning 60% of the time. Cabins are cleaned at the end of each short-term stay, and weekly for long-term campers, by contract cleaners. Cleaning of sites usually takes 5 minutes, while mowing takes 10 minutes. Cleaning of cabins takes 45 minutes. All campers are asked to adhere to the park’s behaviour policy with park security guards patrolling the park at all times. A full park security round takes around 1 hour. All campers are requested to minimise noise after 21:30 pm. Visitors are required to leave the park by 21:45 pm. The gates are locked at 22:00 pm
