Workshop
Improving the efficiency of business processes using “digital twins”
The ‘Digital Twins’ project involves the organisation of a series of theoretical and practical workshops to prepare participants for the independent implementation of the process approach in their areas of professional or scientific activity. Among other things, the participants will become familiar with the assumptions of the international standard BPMN 2.0., described by the ISO/IEC 19510:2013 standard.
The workshop will be realized in 8 two-day cycles (9 am – 4 pm), every two months, in groups of up to 12 participants.
Location: Lukasiewicz – Poznan Institute of Technology, 6 Estkowskiego Street, Poznan.
Participation in the workshop is free of charge.
Workshop program:
DAY 1 (8 teaching hours of 45 minutes)
1h
• BPMN 2.0 – origins, advantages of use, opportunities for use in practice
• Business process – key concepts
• Model as an unambiguous form of process description
4h
• Business process model – structure: organizations, business roles, definition of process boundaries, workflow and message flow, communication in business process
• BPMN 2.0 standard – basic elements of the notation: pools, lanes, activities, events, message flow and information flow, gateways, artifacts

DAY 2 (8 teaching hours of 45 minutes)
3h
• Consolidation of the information acquired on the first day of the workshop
• Presentation of possibilities for practical use of commercially available tools based on the BPMN 2.0 standard. Presentation of the benefits of creating digital twins of processes using a case study example.
5h
• Case study – independent mapping of a process flow using the BPMN 2.0 standard based on a received set of information (verbal description of the process flow, process interview). It is possible to model a selected process suggested by the participants of the workshop
• Summary – discussion of the results of the participants’ work, discussion and construction of a correct map, consolidation of good practices
The organizers provide:
• Qualified trainers (2 trainers per each workshop group)
• Work in small groups, enabling an individual approach to participants’ expectations (groups of up to 12 participants)
