Abstract
There are many methodologies and methods proposed for modeling Business Processes. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages. In this research we focus on Business Process Redesign in order to reveal limitations on the current syntax of DEMO and also its way of working. DEMO has been proven and recognized as an effective modeling method for business process at design level. However, the effectiveness of DEMO in the case of redesign of business process is not sufficiently documented.
In this study, we applied DEMO to model the Industry Pension System utilizing the National Identification Number in Japan in order to investigate the effectiveness of applying DEMO in redesigning. We discuss the effectiveness and limitations of DEMO in redesign based on the Construction and Process Models. Consequently, we propose additional constructs to be added to DEMO’s syntax, as well as some guidelines for DEMO’s way of working in redesign situations. A new notation system for the improvement of DEMO is also discussed in our research.
