Reorganization measures aimed at reducing costs or time or at improving the quality of results or work involve modification of business processes (process redesign) or their complete redevelopment (process reengineering).

Documentation of reorganization measure planning, implementation, and results.

ARIS support: The main project phases of the reorganization process can be described as a procedure model by a value-added chain diagram.

Individual project activities of the reorganization project and their operational sequence can be documented by means of EPCs.

The organizational assignment of people and units involved in the project can be represented in organizational charts.

A reorganization project involves project preparation and strategic planning, followed by an analysis of the actual situation, development of the target concept, and finally implementation of the solutions.

ARIS support: Product/Service models as well as objective diagrams serve to document general strategic conditions, so that the company's main business segments can be recorded along with their products, services, and customer groups, and the critical success factors and the objective hierarchy of the company can be depicted.

During the analysis of the actual situation, a framework containing the main business processes is developed using value-added chain diagrams. Based on employee interviews, these business processes are recorded in detail in the form of an EPC or a process chain diagram (PCD). The PCD is particularly suitable for identifying weak points caused by media breaks and changed process responsibilities.

Following a weak point analysis that takes into account throughput times, process costs, organizational breaks, system and media breaks, data redundancies, etc., alternative target processes are defined. As with actual data, these processes are modeled using EPCs.

Once the target concept is complete, the system, organizational, and data components are described in more detail, which facilitates implementation. For example, the application system construct Word processing can now be specified as Microsoft® Word.

Note: The weak point analysis phase can be supported by evaluations using Simulation and ARIS Optimizer.
