Process Mapping and Modeling: A Theoretical tool Analysis

The technological development and continuous changes in economic policies have motivated looking for greater efficiency in all levels of an organization. Organizations include in their management improvements that facilitate the control of their processes and activities. In this sense, management tools for process mapping and modeling have a positive influence on the companies’ performance since their inclusion encourages the improvement and optimization of daily activities. However, there is evidence of disadvantages in the application of some adopted methods. This paper analyzes the weaknesses and strengths of the available management models and tools to cover three specific purposes. Firstly, exploring different tools and models for process mapping and modeling used in business management. Secondly, prioritizing tools that enable their integration with the ISO standard and process costing systems. Finally, establishing the advantages and disadvantages of prioritized tools, as well as their main characteristics. To this end, this work contemplates a theoretical analysis and comparison of the methods Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Reengineering (BPR), and Event Process Chain (EPC).
