Optimization of production processes using BPMN and archimate

Abstract

This article aims to map and optimize production processes through the graphical form using syntax combination of BPMN and ArchiMate. In the first phase, the existing business processes of the manufacturing company in the Czech Republic were analyzed. In the second phase, the optimization of production processes was subsequently proposed. These optimizations were based on a combination of two ArchiMate and BPMN syntaxes with implementing ERP systems, enabling the design to utilize more efficient modern technology. The as-is-to-be process was documented in BPMN and ArchiMate, and a process-based simulation tool was used to quantify the effects of process improvement. © 2020 Science and Information Organization.
