ERP As-Is & To-Be Process Modeling 2

Question 1

Which artifact is produced during the As-Is analysis phase of an ERP implementation that documents current pain points and inefficiencies?

Accepted Answer

Process gap register

Answer

A process gap register catalogs current pain points, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies identified during As-Is analysis.

Question 2

In To-Be process modeling, what does 'straight-through processing' refer to?

Accepted Answer

Eliminating manual interventions so transactions complete automatically end-to-end

Answer

Straight-through processing means transactions flow automatically from initiation to completion without manual touchpoints.

Question 3

A swimlane diagram used in As-Is modeling primarily shows which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Who performs each process step and handoffs between departments

Answer

Swimlane diagrams map activities to the responsible party and visually highlight handoffs across organizational boundaries.

Question 4

When comparing As-Is and To-Be models, what is the primary purpose of conducting a 'process walk-through' with end users?

Accepted Answer

To validate that the documented process accurately reflects reality

Answer

Process walk-throughs with end users confirm that the documented As-Is model matches actual day-to-day operations before gap analysis begins.

Question 5

In ERP process modeling, a 'rekeying' activity in the As-Is model most likely signals which improvement in the To-Be model?

Accepted Answer

Integration between systems to eliminate duplicate data entry

Answer

Rekeying the same data into multiple systems is a classic integration gap that the To-Be model addresses through system integration.
