Statistical business process model
Turkish Statistical Institute adopted GSBPM to model the statistical production process and to identify the metadata flowing through the processes. The model was slightly modified in the sub process level (level 2) and sub sub-processes (third level) were added as well. The 7 phases of statistical production process and 33 sub-processes within each phase can be seen below.
TurkStat Business Process Model
In order to specify the processes in TurkStat, four main operational processes were analysed first: collect, process, analyse, disseminate. Five products were selected to be analysed for the pilot study of the GSBPM model. It was seen from the pilot study that the other 3 processes (specify needs, design, build) can be clearly identified too. Based on the process flows of the pilot study a national draft model of GSBPM was developed.
This draft model was used as a basis for process modelling, standardization of the production processes of statistical products. Within the scope of the process modelling and standardization project, meetings were held with all units producing statistics, to obtain information about the activities done to produce these statistics. Procedures/methods that are used, step by step work flows, inputs and outputs of sub processes, owners of the processes, the number of people required to do these tasks, software tools and other relevant metadata were collected from the subject matter departments.
All the information on process collected from the departments are analysed and standardised. Standard processes are identified and modelled using a business process modelling software.
