Oracle defines the value chain model as 'A value chain is a high-level model that categorizes the generic value-adding activities of an organization'

The next level of modeling is the Value Chain Model, aka. Level 1 - Value Chains - Conceptual Model The ideal audiences for Level 0 Models are Executives, Business Analysts (Strategists), and Business Architects. This will allow true top down modeling for the organization. In Oracle BPM Composer 12c, each process area can be linked to a value chain map. The process areas will provide the boundaries and scope for the lower levels of modeling, value chains. The Enterprise Map is a contextual model that contains lanes and process areas. Oracle Process Composer defines Enterprise maps as “ the primary business functions of an enterprise and the pieces of the organization that perform those functions”.Īnother definition of an enterprise maps is 'a high level view defining the scope and boundaries or the organization' (Viljoen, 2012), its goal is to define the business on a single page. Level 0 - Enterprise Map - Contextual ModelĮnterprise maps, also known as operating models, are the highest level of detail in process modeling. Level 4 - Activities and Subprocesses, Implementable Model.Level 3 - BPMN Process Model, Physical Model.Level 2 - Value Chain Model, Logical Model.Level 1 - Value Chain Model, Conceptual Model.Level 0 - Enterprise Map, Contextual Model.Starting from either the top-down or from the bottom-up, there are ways to model the different levels, zero through four, of processes.

Oracle BPM Composer 12c introduces some new types of modeling that make Business Architechture and Hierarchical Process modeling easier.
