To-be Modeling and Process Optimization

  • Chapter

Abstract

To-be modeling is based on the as-is models and on the issues that have been identified during the process analysis. The results of to-be modeling and of evaluated to-be processes are linked with company-internal expectations from management as well as from the employees. Among these internal expectations are:147

  • Increase in profits

  • Cost savings

  • Streamlining of processes

  • Reduction of planning times

  • Shortening of processing times

  • Information that is more up-to-date

  • Better communication between company units via defined interfaces

  • Minimization of idle times

  10. A detailed explanation of the top-down method is given by Remme (1997), who deals, in particular, with the modeling of process particles (reference process modules). Individual business processes are created by forming variants from process particles. This topic is further discussed by Scheer (1998c), p. 7, and Gaitanides (1983), p. 23.
