Comparative analysis of business process modeling techniques in terms of representation

Abstract

The main goal of the master thesis is to comparatively assess and analyze the performance of business process modeling techniques in terms of representation in order to provide decision support solution for the choice of business process modeling technique in a specific business case with the idea to address the shortcomings revealed in the existing research in the field. Comparative analysis of selected modeling techniques by means of set of representational criteria was performed in a form of comparative table stressing key plusses and minuses of techniques. Decision support solution was developed as a decision table grounded on the comparative analysis. The application of decision support tool was shown on the example of P&G integrated promo cycle process. Various models of the same process were built and analysed in terms of representation; as a result the performance of the decision table is verified and approved by the company.
