  1. Value Added Chain Diagram (VACD) – Higher level (L2-3), used to show flow of processes 
  2. Function tree- Higher level (L2-3) – used to show hierarchy of processes 
  3. EPC – detail level (L4-5), used to show tasks/activities with corresponding attributes like who, what system, documents etc. Not a swim lane view so cannot see handoffs as easy. 
  4. BPMN – detail level (L3-5) not as informative as the EPC (not as many objects available to use), swim lane view, good to show handoffs. Where EPC does not visually show this. 
  5. Function Allocation Diagram (FAD) – Detail level, moves individual objects out of the L4 EPC/BPMN using an assignment link, but can be seen through the relationships/reporting (example, an EPC has a document object and the separate linked FAD model shows the details of that document. Used in Enablement for BPD generation. 

  6. Overall – we should no limit to one model type  - it depends on audience, intent, usage etc.  

    1. Ask questions that you want from your models, that may help decide on type, repository set up, attribute and object usage. 
    2. What systems does a Sales associate use? 
    3. What are all the roles/systems used in OTC? 
    4. What SAP executables are used by a specific role? 
    5. I’m a new associate, what are all the processes I do? 
    6. Note, ARIS allows you to toggle between EPC/BPMN - it may not be pretty though. 

     

    Happy modeling!
