Which of the following business processes are candidates for modeling for compensation?

• A. Resolve a database error.
• B. Determine customer address.
• C. Cancel order and refund charges.
• D. Order inventory needed to fill an order.

A process analyst needs to gather information about credit risk with respect to the geographical distribution such as state or country of the customer. Which of the following will be used to represent this measure?

• A. Aggregate metric with average function
• B. Aggregate metric with sum function
• C. Key Performance Indicator with geographic dimension
• D. Instance metric

Refer to the Exhibit.

A process analyst has modeled the current state of a mortgage approval process as shown in the Exhibit. Historical process performance measurements have indicated when there is an error in the filing of the mortgage documentation, the corrective activities increase the process duration by 50% and the process cost by 35%. How can the process analyst prove the current state model reflects this situation?

• A. Assign an exception classifier to each activity associated with incorrectly filed documentation.
  Run simula-tion analysis upon the process and generate the Process Classifier Cost and Duration
  report.
  Compare the total average costs and durations of the exception classifier activities against non-
  exception activities.
• B. Assign an exception classifier to each activity associated with incorrectly filed documentation
  Run simula-tion analysis upon the process and generate the Process Cases Summary report.
  Determine which cases represent process instances that perform activities associated with
  incorrectly filed documentation.
  Compare the average cost and duration of these cases against cases that do not perform these
  corrective activities.
• C. Run simula-tion analysis upon the process and generate the Processes Cost Comparison
  report to compare the cost of the process between cases that perform corrective activities against
  those that do not.
  Repeat this comparison for duration by generating and analyzing the Processes Duration
  Comparison report.
• D. Assign an exception classifier to each activity associated with incorrectly filed documentation.
  Run simula-tion analysis upon the process and determine its average cost and duration from the
  simula-tion control panel. Generate the Classifier Cost and Duration report upon the simula-tion
  results.
  Compare the process' average cost and duration against the Classifier report's values.

A company's new approach to selling requires extensive resource planning. A team of process analysts has been assembled to perform this work. Which option is sufficient to enforce consistent simu-lations behavior across the team? All analysts:

• A. set the same random number seed, process availability start and end dates, and maximum simula-tion duration in the simula-tion profiles.
• B. set the same random number seed and process availability start and end dates in the simulation profiles.
• C. set unique random number seeds and process availability start and end dates in the simula-tion profiles.
• D. set unique random number seed, process availability start and end dates, maximum simula-tion duration and maximum number of process invocations in the simula-tion profiles.

Which of the following is a proper use of a pre-defined business measure template in IBM WebSphere Business Process Modeler?

• A. Determine the average duration of a process over a 30 day period.
• B. Determine a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) based on cost per unit for a process.
• C. Determine the cost of a single instance of a process.
• D. Determine the average cost of a single resource used in a process.
