Homework 1 (6 points)
Task 1. [3 points] Consider the following description of an equipment rental company.
Based on this description, identify the main processes and process groups of the company and arrange them into a process architecture including core, support and management processes. Identify the main value chain of the organization, and capture it using the chevron notation.
The deliverable of this task is a process architecture diagram. You should use these templates as a starting point.
Task 2. [3 points] Model the following business process using BPMN.
Make sure your models follow the modeling conventions introduced in the lectures and abide to the syntax rules of BPMN (only the rules numbered "BPMN XXXX" and not the rules numbered "Style XXXX").
The two textual descriptions given above may contain irrelevant details. It is part of your task to discern what should be put in the BPMN models and what should be left out.
For Task 2, you should submit:
- A top-level BPMN diagram which decomposes the prescription fulfillment process into multiple subprocesses.
- One BPMN diagram for each subprocess.
Use lanes and pools in the subprocesses (not in the top-level process). There is no need for data objects, but they can be useful occasionally to represent major objects.
What to submit?
Please submit the homework as a single package: zip file or .7z file or .tar.gz.
Please organize and name the files in the package clearly, so that it is clear which file(s) corresponding to the first task and which ones correspond to the second task.
If you have completed the homework with another student (teams of two), please write the name of your team-mate in the "Comments" field of the homework submission form. Only one submission per pair of students is needed.
Reminder on plagiarism policy
We don't want to have to say the following, but it's better to say it upfront. Please be reminded that plagiarism in any form is not tolerated. We will be reporting all cases where we have some evidence of plagiarism. You can get an F in the entire course due to a small amount of plagiarism. Whatever you submit, it must be 100% the product of the work of you and your team-mate (using AI assistants if you wish). For the same reason, do not share your solution or a partial solution with others (except with your team-mate).
Use of ChatGPT or other Large Language Models (LLMs)
Notwithstanding the above note about plagiarism, you can use ChatGPT or similar LLM-based assistants for this homework, provided that you explicitly state in your homework which AI assistant(s) you have used. Warning: If you use them in a trivial manner, you will most likely get an answer that won't meet our requirements and expectations.
