Document Summary
Chapter 2 business processes, information, and decision making. A business process is a network of activities, resources, facilities, and information that interact to achieve some business objective. A business process is a system, which is sometimes also referred to as a business system. Examples of business processes include inventory-management processes, manufacturing processes, sales processes, and customer-support processes. Activities transform resources and information of one type into resources and information of another type. Ex: payment (activity) transforms quantity received (information) and shipping invoice (information) into payment to supplier (resource) Facilities are structures used within the business process. Other examples of facilities are factories, prices of equipment, trucks, filling cabinets , and the like . Activities use information to determine how to transform the inputs they receive into the outputs they produce. The standard, called business process modeling notation (bomn) provides four graphical elements that can be used to document a process.
