Can you do a Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) model? And please explain how to do it.

Instructions

Your supervisor met with Forrest and discussed his requirements in detail. At that meeting, they agreed on the following deliverables for your project.

Document business process activity using BPMN. After gaining an understanding of YNFs business processes, you will document current processes using business process modeling notation (BPMN). This involves documenting the current business processes. These diagrams will serve multiple purposes. YNF expects to use them to train new employees. Plus, they will provide information about potential improvements to those processes by the efficient use of information technology. Additionally, they will also highlight areas where YNF is exposed to unnecessary risks in its business.

Summary of Interview with Kristine, Payroll Clerk, New York NY Store

Kristine maintains the payroll records. Each employee fills out his or her timecard each day. Supervisors check the timecards for accuracy and update the timecard spreadsheet. At the end of each month, each store supervisor emails the timecard spreadsheet to Kristine at the Baltimore store. Kristine then prepares the payroll checks and sends them to the addresses designated for each employee. She creates a spreadsheet to record the payroll. Once the payroll is processed through the YNF online banking application, Kristine emails the timecard and payroll spreadsheets to Mia. Each quarter, Kristine summarizes the amounts due to the IRS and state tax authorities and makes those payments. Those checks are classified as miscellaneous purchases.

Kristine recently noticed that the payroll emails were not always coming from the store managers. Often, other employees would send the spreadsheets. She was a little concerned about the accuracy of the information. She thought that the timekeeping could be easily automated, which would improve accuracy and reduce any possibility of fraud. She had mentioned that to Forrest, but he has been too busy to look into it.
