Assessment Details for Assessment Item 1: Business Process Modelling for Process Improvement
Objective:
The objective of this assignment is for students to demonstrate their comprehensive understanding of Business Process Modelling (BPM) by analysing and assessing a complex business situation, operations, and processes. The assignment focuses on identifying efficiency issues within an organization and proposing process improvements using modern approaches and technologies relevant to the situation.
Scenario:
You are a consultant hired by a large financial services company, FinTech Solutions Ltd. (FSL), which offers a wide range of banking and financial products. FSL has been experiencing challenges related to operational efficiency, customer service delays, and redundant processes. Your task is to conduct a thorough analysis of FSL's current business processes, identify areas for improvement, and propose solutions using BPM techniques and modern technologies.
Task Description:
Understanding the Current Business Processes:
Analyse the existing business processes at FSL, including operational workflows, customer interactions, data handling, and decision- making processes.
Identify specific inefficiencies, bottlenecks, or areas where improvements can be made to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Process Improvement Recommendations:
Propose specific process improvements using BPM methodologies such as process mapping, process redesign, automation, and optimization techniques.
Justify your recommendations with clear arguments based on potential benefits, feasibility, and alignment with FSL's strategic goals.
Application of Modern Approaches and Technologies:
Discuss modern approaches and technologies (e.g., robotic process automation, AI-driven analytics, cloud computing) that can be applied to address the identified efficiency issues.
