Business process re-engineering is the analysis and design of work flows and processes within an organization. A business process is a set of logically related tasks performed to achieve a defined business outcome. Re-engineering is the basis for many recent developments in management.

Before the company starts re-engineering, they need to deeply analysis their process to seek out the potential problems and reconstruct their existing framework to improve their process by minimizing the cost and time.

The process of existing organization is called As-is and the potential process that improve the existing process is called To-be.

Holosofx Workbench is used for modeling and analysis and composed of the Business Modeler as the core with the UML Transformer (Modeler), Xform Designer, and XML Mapper as extensions

The process is built by different blocks including task, process, decision, choice, phi, external entity and stop.

With the help of the process, all the simulation of the process can be done, it absolutely gives a helping hand to the senior management to analyze their process. As the cycle time of the process, cost used and time used in each resources, department, as well as the external entity. It can help determine the performance bottlenecks, after that, identify critical areas through modeling.

After simulation

In the twenty-first century, a technology driven society, in order to survive, companies need to continuously improve their performance to enhance customer satisfaction. Also, internal process should be simplified to optimize their efficiency and effectiveness so that cost can be reduced and time can saved too.
