Problem $3$:

Prepare a business process model using BPMN to describe the process of planning a vacation:

Yannis is planning a trip to Hawaii with a friend. They first decide when they want to go and how much they can afford to spend. Then, they make their flight and hotel reservations using a prominent travel website. After reserving flight and hotel, they wait until the scheduled departure. They travel to Hawaii and check into the hotel. While in Hawaii, they enjoy a number of tourist activities. When their time in Hawaii is done, they check out of their hotel, return to the airport, and fly home.

A$.$ Briefly describe the purpose of the model. LO $4-5$

B$.$ Use pools and message flows to describe the context of the business process model. LO $4-5,$ LO $4-9$

C$.$ Outline the basic business process flows from Yannis's viewpoint. What initiates the process? What are the basic steps to complete the process? What is the final outcome? LO $4-5,$ LO $4-8$

D$.$ Refine the diagram by adding the following:

$1.$ When in Hawaii, they enjoy a number of tourist activities. Include a looping task to show this. LO $4-5,$ LO $4-9$

$2.$ There is a possibility that the hotel room and$/$or flights aren$$t within their budget. If reservations are too expensive, they will try different dates. If reservations are still too expensive, they will cancel their trip. Use a collapsed subprocess and an intermediate error event to model these assumptions. LO $4-5,$ LO $4-8$

Problem $4$:

Prepare a business process model using BPMN to describe the process of preparing and filing an income tax return:

Each year before April $15,$ you prepare to file your income taxes. You collect multiple W$-2$ and $1099$ documents. You download multiple required forms from the IRS website. You fill out the forms, double$-$check your work, and then print them out. If you owe money, you write a check. You mail your tax return along with the check if you owe money. If you are getting a refund, you mail your tax return and wait to receive your refund by check. When you receive the refund, you deposit it in your bank account.

A$.$ Briefly describe the purpose of the model. LO $4-5$

B$.$ Use pools and message flows to describe the context of the business process model. LO $4-5,$ LO $4-9$

C$.$ Outline the basic business process flows from your viewpoint. What initiates the process? What are the basic steps to complete the process? What is the final outcome? LO $4-5,$ LO $4-8$

D$.$ Refine the diagram per the following:

$1.$ When you prepare your tax return, you use cloud$-$based tax software. You answer the questions and the tax software prepares the tax return for you. Once you$$ve double$-$checked your work, you enter your checking account details and file your return electronically.

$2.$ If you owe money, the IRS will automatically deduct the amount from your checking account in $7$ days. If you are getting a refund, the IRS will deposit the refund directly into your checking account. LO $4-8$

Problem $5$:

Prepare a business process model using BPMN to describe the process of registering a car with the Department of Motor Vehicles $($DMV$)$:Page $209$

Heide lives in California and it is time to renew her automobile registration. The California DMV sends her a renewal form and indicates that she needs a smog check for her automobile. She takes her car to the smog check station. She completes the smog check. If the smog check is successful, she can then go to the DMV website and renew her registration, paying with a credit card.

Two weeks later she receives a new registration form and tags for her license plates. She puts the registration in the glove box of her car and places the tags on her license plates. If the smog check is not successful, she takes her car to her mechanic to make the necessary repairs. When those are complete, she repeats the smog check.

a$.$ Briefly describe the purpose of the model LO $4-5$

b$.$ Use pools and message flows to describe the context of the business process model. LO $4-5,$ LO $4-9$

c$.$ Outline the basic business process flows from Heide's viewpoint. What initiates the process? What are the basic steps to complete the process? What is the final outcome? LO $4-5,$ LO $4-8$

d$.$ Refine the diagram per the following:

$1.$ Use a messaging start event to begin the process. LO $4-8$

$2.$ Heide uses the renewal form information at the smog check station.

$3.$ The smog check station provides a smog check certificate that Heide submits along with the renewal form to update her registration via the DMV website.

$4.$ She then downloads her new registration document and places it in her car.

$5.$ Use data objects to represent these documents. LO $4-8,$
