The Network Model of Business Processes of the It Provider

Abstract

The subject of the research is to improve the efficiency of business processes for various industries (for example, IT service provision). Constant involvement in the competition is forcing service providers and high-tech product manufacturers to optimize internal and external processes to achieve the desired result. The market information and other services need to obtain an integrated toolkit that allows to perform analysis of existing processes and their metrics and make management decisions. The paper focuses on variable procedural model or network model of the business process as one of the components of the assessment system and the possibility to improve the efficiency of enterprises and organizations. The main actively applied research methods are the system analysis of the elements of set theory and graph theory. Illustration of a business process model has been made with the assistance of a methodological framework of the best management practices in the IT sector. The following developing effective technologies of software systems have also been used: relational databases, object-oriented programming, and unit testing. The novelty of the research is to develop a changeable business process model, which if necessary can be adjusted for a particular subject area. The essence of the elements of the variable model is reflected in the possibility of a flexible dynamic binding of certain roles or assets to the processes of the network schedule or procedures. Thus, the proposed model is sufficiently versatile, which allows using it in a wide range of applications and systems for performance improvement with a comprehensive assessment of costs and resources.
