Improve models

Only models that properly represent business processes make sense to be used in an enterprise. However, even current and properly modeled business processes always leave room for improvement. Both aspects are supported.

Change management actively incorporates existing business process models in improvement cycles, thus fulfilling the key aspects of documentation and analysis of continuous improvement.

Proposals for change and improvement can be made for all objects and models in a database. All model users can enter their improvement proposals directly into the ARIS database, with or without consulting the process manager. The proposals are collected using the Improvement proposals dialog. The improvement manager receives an overview of the improvement proposals in the Change management dialog. There, the user can define measures, set priorities, determine the status and the deadline, and define the person responsible for implementing the measure.

All tasks assigned to modelers regarding a model or a model item will be listed in the Tasks dialog. This dialog enables you to open the model or edit the attributes of the model item. You can also start reports using the pop-up menu, or open other dialogs of Change Management.

Thus, change managment supports you in continually updating your models and helps you represent your business processes correctly at all times. It also enables you to continuously improve your business processes systematically, so that the two key aspects of continuous improvement are assured: documentation and analysis.
