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 process analyst runs the Activities Unable To Start analysis and finds highlighted activities in the process diagram. What does this indicate?

• A. Input to the task comes from a local repository.
• B. Resource shortage duration exceeds the resource wait time.
• C. Task processing time is shorter than the resources' time required.
• D. Required quantity of roles or resources is not available.

A process analyst has completed a future state process model and needs to validate it against process improvement requirements. The future state process must be able to handle 25% more throughput than the current state, while maintaining or improving process duration. Presently, the business process handles 2000 requests daily. Using dynamic analysis, how can the process analyst validate whether the future state process will satisfy these requirements?

• A. 1. Simulate the future state process model at 2000 requests per day.
  2.Simulate the future state process model at 2500 requests per day.
  3.Generate a Processes Duration Comparison report upon the results of the future state process model to verify the Average Elapsed Duration.
• B. 1. Simulate the current state process model at 2500 requests per day.
  2.Simulate the future state process model at 2500 requests per day.
  3.Generate a Processes Duration Comparison report to verify the Average Elapsed Duration of the future state process model reflects a favorable percentage change over the current state process model.
• C. 1. Simulate the current state process model at 2000 requests per day.
  2.Simulate the future state process model at 2500 requests per day.
  3.Generate a Processes Duration Comparison report to verify the Average Elapsed Duration of the future state process model reflects a favorable percentage change over the current state process model.
• D. 1. Simulate the current state process model at 2000 requests per day.
  2.Simulate the future state process model at 2000 requests per day.
  3.Generate a Processes Duration Comparison report to verify the Average Elapsed Duration of the future state process model reflects a favorable percentage change over the current state process model.

A process analyst needs to analyze each instance of the application approval process to determine which applications are from a specific location. Which is the MOST effective way to analyze this information?

• A. Use a predefined business measure template based on a business item attribute.
• B. Define a custom expression that evaluates process instances over time.
• C. Define a custom Key Performance Indicator (KPI).
• D. Use an aggregated process measure that evaluates the location based on the business item attribute.

A process simula-tion completed with the message "simula-tion finished but not all tasks were completed successfully." Process case summary showed that all cases completed successfully. When simulating with half the number of tokens, the simula-tion completed successfully. What should be done to complete simula-tion on all the tokens?

• A. Change the setting "Process availability ends" to a later date.
• B. Increase the number of days for "Delay for steady state simula-tion".
• C. Change the token "Time trigger" to an earlier time and date.
• D. Increase the number of days for "Maximum simula-tion duration".
