Arquitectura Empresarial y Simulación de Procesos. Una Fusión Necesaria antes de realizar Cambios Significativos en la Estructura de Negocio

Abstract

The objective of the study presented in this paper is to verify the value of the merging between Enterprise Architecture and Process Simulation before making significant changes in the structure of one of the macro processes of the General Comptroller of the Republic of Colombia. The Audit Process was identified as a key for the fulfillment of the mission of the organization. A modeling and simulation tool based on the BPSim standard (Business Process Simulation) was used to guarantee an evolution of the model. The modeling and simulation achieved a logical organization of the process studied and reached the appropriate dimensions for the scope of the activity of the architecture. Based on the results, it is concluded that the construction of a Business Architecture merged with Process Simulation, generates the possibility of creating scenarios for different combinations of data, and guarantee adequate transformation from a current model to an objective model.
