"Business process modeling" is the graphical representation and analysis of business processes within a company or organization. It involves visually depicting the various activities, states, decisions, and resources of a business process to better understand and optimize their flow, dependencies, and interactions. Business process modeling helps improve the efficiency, transparency, and quality of business processes.
Typical functions of software in the "Business process modeling" domain may include:
Graphic Modeling Tools: Providing tools for creating graphical models such as flowcharts, BPMN diagrams (Business Process Model and Notation), or UML diagrams (Unified Modeling Language).
Drag-and-Drop: Intuitive user interface allowing users to create and edit process models by simply dragging and dropping elements.
Process Simulation: Simulating business processes to test their behavior under different conditions and identify potential bottlenecks or improvement opportunities.
Collaborative Features: Support for collaboration among multiple users in modeling business processes, including commenting features, sharing options, and versioning.
Analysis Tools: Tools for analyzing business process models to identify bottlenecks, redundancies, or inefficient workflows and suggest improvements.
