Utilization of Biz_CAD
Biz_CAD can be utilized for multipurpose, including operation manual, high-function organization chart, blue print of enterprise, BPR/BPM platform, business analysis tool for system integration project, business consulting tool and platform of EA (Enterprise Architecture).
- Biz_CAD can be utilized as a base tool for creating and managing operation manual.
- Biz_CAD pursues the comprehensibility, and has the capability of representation of wide-range business factors, like execution means, cost, time required, start timing, execution frequency and purpose of the process as well as process sequence.
- Biz_CAD enables to call the related documents from the diagram canvas in order to utilize the existing resources effectively.
- Biz_CAD suppresses variation in quality and creates the homogenous models based on the way of Biz_CAD modeling, which is done by plotting the model
components defined beforehand on Biz_CAD.
- The Organization Model of Biz_CAD can be utilized as a tool for creating and managing the organization chart of enterprise.
- The Organization Model of Biz_CAD can represent the wide-range existence which composes the enterprise, like information systems, automated equipment, robots, outsourced contractors as well as internal organizations.
- The Organization Model can be a high-function organization management tool and monitoring tool based on its management features of sales amount,
profit, cost, number of staff.
- Biz_CAD can be utilized as a creating tool of blue-print of enterprise and as a platform for BPR/BPM.
- Biz_CAD model consists of Process Model, Function Model and Organization
Model. These models represent the whole and details, including businessprocess, static structure, organizations, information systems, sales amount, profit, cost, time required, schedule, product line-up and
customer segments.
These characteristics of Biz_CAD enable executives, managers and field workers to utilize Biz_CAD models, create blueprints and brings findings and proposals by any class of employee of the corporation. - Biz_CAD is capable of simulation and monitoring KPI/KGI, like cost, time required, sales amount, profit and number of staff. The
platform with these features bring the blueprint with performance meter
and enable to execute following project quickly.
・Find inefficient process, execute BPR and establish the BPM system
・Improve the customer service level
・Shorten the lead time
・Establish the SCM
・Innovate, outsource and split-up of inefficient business field
・Restructuring of business, corporate acquisition and M&A
・Reform and innovate the organization system
・Re-arrange the product line-up and re-establish the product strategy
・Revise the customer strategy
・Review the supplier and outsourced contractors
・Restructure the information systems
- Biz_CAD can be utilized as a tool for requirement definition phase of system integration project, in particular for analysis of current business, planning of new business structure, analysis of current information system and listing of functions to be developed.
- Biz_CAD pursues the comprehensibility for business people. This nature of Biz_CAD enables user-leading requirement definition phase and brings the project which users participate proactively, which brings the success of system integration project.
- Biz_CAD is based on the object-oriented methodology and enables to extract the Objects, Methods and Properties for system integration projects. These artifacts enhances the efficiency of whole the project.
- The simulation feature of Biz_CAD enables to evaluate the process cost and time required, and estimate the effect of system integration project in advance freely from the various view point.
- The models are not dedicated for system integration and are easy to understand and multi-purpose for business people. These characteristics enable to utilize the models
continuously in the business field and will never be disposed just after
project.
- Biz_CAD can be utilized in visualization of current business (As-IS) and planning of new business (To-Be) in the pre-analysis of requirements.
"Visualization of As-Is" and "Design of New Business" in requirement development
(Created based on "Requirement development - Process and Modeling to derive valuable requirements" by Requirement Development Alliances (Nikkei BP 2006))
- Biz_CAD fits the pre-analysis phase of integration project which requires the strong and proactive involvement of business people, because of its comprehensibility and friendliness for business people.
- Biz_CAD represents the business sterically, and has affinity for system
design and implementation phase based on its power of representation regarding
the business process, static structure, information systems and other various business factors (product line-up, customer segment, execution means, sales amount, profit,
purpose, schedule and insourcing/outsourcing).
- Biz_CAD can be utilized in the consulting project as below.
- Biz_CAD, which consists of three models: Function Model, Process Model and Organization Model, can be utilized in various consulting projects based on its comprehensibility, suitability to analysis of large-scale domain and wide coverage of representation of business factors like execution means, sales amount, cost, time required and risks.
- Biz_CAD has high reusability because the model is composed of Units (Object) which extracted based on the essence of functions, act and things. And Biz_CAD accelerates the sharing of modeling output, accumulation and succession of know-how among the consulting firm based on its integrated model repository.
- Biz_CAD enables the Model-Based Consulting based on the accumulated models of various industries and corporates which
represent the past achievements, know-how and best-practices, which can be stocked in the Biz_CAD repository.
- Biz_CAD is fit to the analysis of Business Architecture at the top of EA (Enterprise Architecture) model.
（Please see this page for the details of EA (Enterprise Architecture).
- Biz_CAD is suitable for the project which led by business persons because of its simple notation and user-friendly diagrams which is enriched by icons. These characteristics of Biz_CAD eliminate the antipathy of business people including executives, managers and field workers.
- Biz_CAD brings many findings and materials for the consolidation of duplicated and confused business and Information systems, which is the primary purpose of EA (Enterprise Architecture). These are brought by Biz_CAD Function Model, which represents the static structure of business and Organization Model which represents the internal and external organizations, information systems and outsourced contractors as well as Process Model to represent the business processes. These models represent the various business aspects including HOW (execution means), WHO (organization, post and rank), HOW MUCH (sales amount, profit, cost and time required) as well as WHAT (function and various objects) to reveal the facts of business.
- Biz_CAD enables to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and find the useless investments for information systems because the information systems can be targets of Organization Modeling of Biz_CAD and the maintenance and running cost of those can be monitored and managed and also visualized.
- Biz_CAD avoids the situation like "EA models were created, but not utilized in real business and no more maintained". Biz_CAD brings the value to utilize it in the real business based on its comprehensibility, supporting features of BPR/BPM with simulation and monitoring functions, easiness to succeed the model information to system integration projects and representation of business risks.
