Introduction

Business process refers to the commercial activities connected with each other to deliver something of worth which includes products, services, goods, or information to the customer. However, the act of defining and realizing organizational activities which let company to perform certain organizational objectives is known as business process design (Obermeyer & Pinto, 1994). A business process design is linked with planning of the processes of business which ensures that the activities and process are adequate enough to meet the demands of the clients. Business process designs also make sure that all the functions of business are optimized and effective enough to support the sustainable growth and development of any business. A well designed business process can increased the productivity along with enhancing its efficiency (Huxhold, & Levinsohn, 1995). The most common plans behind any business process design include:

Opportunities for new business

Automation and integration of business process

Improvement of operational performance

Reducing production cost

Supply chain and customer management

Business process design generally takes place as a former, vital period in these plans, rather than as an end in itself. (Sexton, and Van Auken 1985, pp. 7-15)The goal of the overall project is to implement business change, whether that change is primarily organizational (improve the business' operating processes), technical (implement or integrate software systems), or a combination of the two. In a process improvement project, the focus of the business process design phase is to streamline the process: to understand and measure the requirements, and to eliminate the risk of losing value through inefficient or inappropriate activities. In a technology implementation project, the focus is on understanding the processes that are being automated, and ensuring that the appropriate technology is selected, configured and implemented to support them. (Schaper, & Volery, 2004)
