  • Biz_CAD consists of three models: Function Model, Process Model and Organization Model.
Function Model Represent the structure of the corporate and static business model.
Process Model Represent the business process with simulation and monitoring feature.
Organization Model Represent the organization system with organization monitoring feature.

 

Stability & Reusability
  • Modeling with Biz_CAD is done based on the Functions and Objects.
  • Extracting the essential Functions in the business systematically and regularly, thus Biz_CAD produces the model with high reusability and inter-operability.
※The essence of Functions which compose the business will not vary permanently and has high stability without fluctuation even if the executing means or organizations may be transformed.

E.g. the essence of Sales function will not vary even if this function is executed face-to-face at a shop or on the internet. The difference is just execution means (HOW) of the function.
  • The modeling with Biz_CAD is done based on generic and normalized components and their properties and parameters. These characteristics of Biz_CAD brings the high reusability of the model.
※The reusability of the models created with flowchart and BPMN is limited because those models are mainly described in sentences.

 

Power of expression
  • Biz_CAD represents the wide-range 5W2H of business.
  • Biz_CAD represents the various business factors including functional structure of the company, processes, organizations, sales amount, profit, cost, time, outsourcing/insourcing, BPO, SCM, information systems, risks, branch shrine, affiliated companies and shared services.

Easy to understand
  • Biz_CAD models are enriched by graphical user interface including icons to represent the executing means or nature of the components.
  • These characteristics of Biz_CAD enable the business people including executives, managers and field workers grasp the meaning of model at a first glance.
  • Biz_CAD corresponds to User's UML based on its user friendliness and comprehensibility.

Hierarchy and fractal
  • Biz_CAD enables to represent the business hierarchically from overviewing-level (executive's view) to detailed level with same notation.
  • Biz_CAD is fit to model the large-scale and complicated domain based on its drill-down feature which enables to model and view from corporate-level to micro model of field-level.

Normalization
  • Biz_CAD enables to create a normalized model easily and eliminate the unnecessary variation by modelers because the modeling with Biz_CAD is done based the pre-defined modeling components and their parameters.
  • This way of modeling with Biz_CAD normalizes the drawing manner, granularity, modeling range and terms, and suppresses the variance brought by modeler's expertise, experience and skill.

Multilingual
  • Biz_CAD corresponds to multi-language, English and Japanese. This characteristics enable to utilize Biz_CAD globally and can be deployed without limitation of linguistic problems.
