Why Business Process Management?
From a recent Aberdeen Group report*:“It is important for every organization to understand how the market is pressuring them, what the market expects from them, and what they can do better than any other firm. … To create an organization that can quickly adapt to changing market conditions, Best-in-Class organizations are taking a Business Process Management (BPM) approach to their operations.”* “Business Process Management in Manufacturing: Paving the Way for Effective Collaboration”; Nov. ’10, Aberdeen Group.

PrISM Business Process Control
PrISM meets Aberdeen’s description of BPM requirements, providing:
A “business process orchestration platform to define, model, and execute these work processes. The platform must also ensure that the necessary data sources, applications, events, and stakeholders are integrated into the process; preserving the value of legacy IT investments but also allowing for innovation and continuous improvement.”

Example of a PrISM Workflow:
New Part Purchasing Data
![Page 11: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Document Control Manager, Oz, begins the process by releasing a new part number, with a drawing. The part number is entered into the system with base data, launching the PrISM control to assure that required purchasing data is entered.

Supplier Information:
Enter Quote information into the QuickQuote system (outside of QAD)
After QuickQuote is updated, then update the 1.19 Item/Supplier Maintenance screen with quote and supplier information
Buyer Information:
Send the Buyer the drawing
Enter the Buyer into the 1.4.1 Item Master Maintenance screen
Procedure requires three data entry actions: Quotes data, Supplier data and Buyer data
Quotes and Supplier data actions happen in serial, while the Buyer data can happen in parallel with the other two.
![Page 13: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If the purchased part is in any other group, the Purchasing Team (Sally Supplier, Betty Buyer, Queenie Quote) are responsible.
If the purchased part is in the group “ELECTRON” then the Electronics Purchasing Team (Sam Supplier, Bob Buyer, Quinn Quote) is responsible.
Based on the Item Group of the part number being added, steps are assigned to one of two teams. (Logic required.)
![Page 14: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PrISM objects are Visio master shapes in a Visio stencil. Shapes include PrISM object data.
To create a new workflow, use the PrISM Visio Design Tool
![Page 15: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Multiple types of nestable containers support n-level complexity in business processes. Multi-page diagrams of any scale are supported.
Containers in PrISM (and Visio) provide the structural relationships of the workflow elements.
![Page 16: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Visio xml file of the workflow is imported directly into PrISM
PrISM imports the structure and data from Visio
![Page 17: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Each PrISM object has attributes that enable unique behavior, such as “before rules” and “after rules”. These can be assigned right in Visio.
PrISM object definition data can be entered in Visio
![Page 18: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Active Workflow:Process tracking initiated. Task prompted and reminded. Users see current tasks in Open Tasks screen on their business system menu.
Workflow is invoked by an event
![Page 19: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In a separate department their Task is also prompted, reminded and enforced. Work is supported with auto-delivery of documents.
PrISM controls serial and parallel workflow threads
![Page 20: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Email messages automatically sent when new tasks are ready for each user to complete.
Users’ workflow tasks are alerted by messaging and Open Tasks screen
![Page 21: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Users’ Open Tasks screen shows required actions
To Do list for each user’s open tasks. Selecting the task takes the user to the menu selection where work needs to be done.
![Page 22: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sally receives her task message, selects her task and is automatically taken to the proper command, with the part # pre-filled.
Integrated Actions: PrISM takes the users to where the work needs to be done.
![Page 23: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Status Tracking of Active WorkflowsExample is In Process and On Time
“Tracker” displays status of active and completed workflows. Each Task shows due date and assigned user.
![Page 25: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Without PrISM• “The urgent crowds out the important.”
• Many critical multi-step and inter-departmental business
processes are not integrated with core business applications
• Coordination and collaboration are difficult
• New requirements are costly to implement
![Page 28: Control Your Business Processes ProStar Software, Inc. info@prostarsoftware.cominfo@prostarsoftware.com.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c955503460f94952822/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Control any business policy, procedure or work instruction
• Integrate the above with your QAD system
• Measure performance of business process execution
• Provide notifications and alerts to individuals responsible for accomplishing specific tasks
• Deliver any document or file to the right person at the right time
• Coordinate complex processes and enable collaboration on shared processes
