Hodnocení nástrojů pro procesní modelování

This diploma thesis deals with the modeling and evaluation tools that are used for process modeling. The aim is to provide a method of selecting the most appropriate tool for selected requirements. This goal is achieved by using several subgoals, which include tools analysis for process modeling, design criteria for the selection of tools, their weights calculation, design and construction method for selecting tools in Excel and create case studies that will demonstrate the principles of selection tools. At the beginning of the thesis is characterized by the area of process management, its history, actual trends and definitions related thereto. Another chapter is a description of notations that are used for modeling processes. The largest part of the chapter is devoted to the characteristics Notation Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), which together with their graphic design described all the elements of notation. The remaining part of the chapter describes the notation event-driven process chain (EPC) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). A description of tools for process modeling is dedicated to the fifth chapter includes a detailed characterization of each instrument. Based on the individual tools and literary sources, the next chapter in the proposed criteria by which the tools will be evaluated. For calculating the weights of the proposed criteria is used Fuller method. The chapter concludes with evaluation tools previously described and a description of how to select the creation tools in Excel. The work ends with case studies which serve to illustrate the procedure for selecting tools.
