Dear Amir
In current research at the university of Salford, UK we have used such
approaches to map the design and construction process and try to move away
from functional, fragmented approaches. It might be useful to have a look at
the web site on www.processprotocol.net . Let me know if you need further
info.
Cheers
Mike

Subject: Horizontal OR Vertical Mapping ?
> Hi Everyone,
> During our current BPR project, we have difference of opinion within the
> BPR team, how to map the process: horizontally or vertically.
>
> By horizontal mapping, I mean to follow a process from begining till end,
> as it is done in the individual business units. Different BUs, products
> and services will have different process flows, though there will be the
> common sub-processes like Quotation, PO, invoice etc. in each process
flow.
>
> By verticle mapping, I mean to have a generic process (e.g. Offer, Order,
> Service etc. ) and compile here all the variations of making offers in the
> company, various products and services in one map.
>
> The BPR books I have read, strongly propose to move away from functional
> view and go on to a process view (rather the process flow) which cuts
> across organisation boundaries.
>
> I would like to take this opportunity to ask you experts, to have an open
> discussion on the pros and cons of both the above mapping methods.
