BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT

Model the As-IS process for Car Parking Process (Business Process Model & Notation 2.0 )

Car parking process: To enter a parking lot driver presses a button for a ticket. After the driver collects the ticket the gate of parking lot opens. Driver enters the parking lot and the gate is closed. When a driver wants to leave the parking lot, he or she drives to the exit gate and puts the ticket into the machine, which calculates the amount owed. The driver inserts the money and if it is more than the amount owed, the machine gives change. The machine then opens the gate, the driver drives out of the parking lot, and the machine closes the gate of parking lot.

1. Draw a process using BPMN 2.0 notation to illustrate what happens when a driver enters and finally leaves the parking lot. Your BPMN diagram should include an example of alternative behaviors.

a. Include swimlanes to show who or what is responsible for the various activities.

b. Create the BPMN diagram using MS Visio or draw it clearly and legibly by hand or by using MS Power Point or MS Word. Be sure to develop your process flow diagram using BPMN 2.0 notation.

2. Explain your BPMN diagram as follows:

a. Explain the pool and swimlane of your diagram

b. Explain all the elements (e.g. activities, events, gateways) of your diagram

c. Analyze in detail the function of each element within the process.
