INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS IN YOUR REPORT

Executive Summary (200 words)

* A paragraph that describes what is in your report and why it is significant.

The organization, the target process and the design approach (300 words)

* One sentence on the organisation and the target process.

* Describe your overall approach to redesign. To what extent was it incremental improvement, radical redesign, or extension of the existing process (or some combination).

Chosen Redesign principles (600 words)

* Identify the THREE redesign principles (or clusters) that you have used to guide your design (one from each of the three groups of principles A, B and C).

* Explain how each principle has been applied to your target process and described its effects in terms of the the 'devil's quadrangle'. Refer to the Figures (DFD and BPMN) presented in later sections where appropriate.

* Assess the benefits and risks associated with using each principle.

Proposed change(s) (400 words)

* Specify up to FIVE changes to your target process. Describe each of your recommended changes to the target process. These may include the following: changes to technology, changes to the roles held by staff, changes to the organisation of work, changes to the tasks carried, changes to the information recorded or used. If you have extended the process, a change would be a new element in the process.

New Process Model 1 (DFD) (only the diagram(s), equivalent to 100 words)

* Present a DFD to show how all your changes would be implemented. You can choose to show a physical or logical DFD. If relevant, show what was the original process and what has been changed. If you wish, you can show two diagrams: an 'as-is' model and a 'to-be' model - if you use this approach, make sure the comparison of the two diagrams is easy to make.

New Process Model 2 (BPMN) (only the diagram(s), equivalent to 100 words)

* Present a BPMN workflow model to show how your changes would be implemented. Again, try to show how an original process has been changed. You can show two figures (as-is and to-be) but make them easy to compare.

Conclusions (300)

* Summarise the benefits and risks of your newly designed process and give an overall comment on your proposed redesign.

References (Not included in the word count)

* List the articles or sources you have cited in your report.

HOW TO REFERENCE SOURCES IN YOUR REPORT

To refer to articles that you wish to cite when writing your report, use the Harvard style; as used in the journal article and academic book chapters. Look at the readings listed in this subject as examples.

As you write your report, refer to the articles as you need to by citing the author family name and date.

For example:

'Juran (1964) has found that ...' or 'Swiss (1992), however, argued that ...'.

If there are two authors, give both names: 'Smith & Chang (2004) believed that ...'.

If there are more than two authors, you can shorten it to: 'Vaucanson et al (2002) reported a study of ....'.

At the end of your article provide a Reference Section that lists ALL of the articles that you cite in your report.

Put these in author-name alphabetical order. Take care to format each reference in the way that it is done in academic articles.

A guide for how to reference sources in your reports is provided at https://www.lib.unimelb.edu.au/cite/

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Take care to ensure that you follow the principles of academic integrity.

Your submitted work must be entirely your own. Be sure that you do not submit work done by another student OR material taken from another source. If unsure ask Wally and see the link below...
