The Generic Statistical Business Process Model
Steven ValeUNECE
What is the GSBPM?
A flexible model that describes and defines the set of business processes needed to produce official statistics
Standard framework and harmonised terminology to help statistical organisations• Modernise statistical production processes• Share methods and components
Background
Developed by the Steering Group on Statistical Metadata
Part of the Common Metadata Framework• www.unece.org/stats/cmf
Version 4 released April 2009 Version 5 released December 2013
Why do we need the GSBPM?
To define and describe statistical processes in a coherent way
To compare and benchmark processes within and between organisations
To make better decisions on production systems and organisation of resources
Applicability (1)
All activities undertaken by producers of official statistics which result in data outputs
All statistical domains National and international statistical
organisations
Applicability (2)
Development and maintenance of statistical registers
All types of data source:• Surveys / censuses• Administrative sources / register-based
statistics• Mixed sources
Changes between v4 and v5
Policy of minimum change• Only if wide agreement and good business case
Removed Phase 8 (Archive)• Archiving happens throughout processes
Improved documentation• Less survey-focused• Links to newer standards e.g. GSIM• More detail where requested by users
Structure of the Model (1)
Process
Phases
Sub-processes
(Descriptions)
Structure of the Model (2)
National implementations may need additional levels
Over-arching processes• Quality management• Metadata management• Statistical framework management• Statistical programme management• ........ (others – see paper)
Key features
Not a linear model Sub-processes are not followed in a strict
order It is a matrix, through which there are
many possible paths
Mapping requested at SPECA meeting in Issyk-Kul
