Descripción, Modelamiento y Rediseño del Proceso de Convalidación de Materias – Proceso de Enseñanza y Aprendizaje utilizando el lenguaje de modelamiento BPMN

Abstract

ESPOL performs a management of its business processes in order to automate them. BPM (Business Process Management) is a business management approach oriented to systematically optimize the results of an organization guaranteeing effective and efficient processes. An import ant step in any BPM project is the modeling and design of the business processes. This article focuses on the description, modeling and redesign of business processes 'Homologation of Subjects' and 'Teaching and Learning' of ESPOL. Both processes were modeled according to the BPMN standard using the software tool WebRatio. BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is the standard de facto used for modeling business processes. Specifically, for each business process is generated a model that describes the current state of implementation ("as is" model) and then it is generated a second model corresponding to an improvement proposal ("to be" model) based on new requirements. All the information corresponding to these business processes was collected through official documents, regulations, interviews and meetings with people involved in these processes.
