Abstract

Firms spend enormous efforts identifying current processes and understanding the related details before establishing new business processes in their business process redesign (BPR) projects. Considering excessive efforts required during the analysis phase and limited support to BPR projects, need for a better method is evident This article describes a method of modeling enterprise business processes bayed on common business forms. By identifying form operations and form field types, the proposed method provides redesign view on the information handling as well as the current process flows in the form of an Event-Process Chain (EPC) diagram.
