Question 1

A local task, called Prepare Package for Customer, needs to be expanded into a process consisting of several tasks, such as Wrap Package and Insert Coupon. These tasks are unique to the Prepare Package for Customer process. What should the local task be converted to?

A. multiple services

B. global subprocess

C. local subprocess

D. multiple business rule tasks

Correct Answer: C

Question 2

A process analyst is performing "What-If" analysis upon a process model using simu lation. Work can arrive into the process at anytime. It has been observed that the 5 defined Field Technician resources have significant resource shortage durations. The process analyst assumes that making more Field Technician resources available to the process would decrease the shortage duration. Based on this assumption, the analyst increases the available resources to 10. Subsequent simu lations do not show significant reduction in the resource shortage durations. What steps should the process analyst take to resolve the resource shortage duration and make updates for further process improvement?

A. Increase the available resources for the Field Technician from 10 to 20 to reduce the resource shortage duration.

B. Reallocate the defined Field Technicians to additional second shift and weekend shift availability to remove resource shortage duration due to unavailability overnight and during weekends.

C. Decrease the Resource Time Required for activities assigned to the field Technicians, allowing them to spend less time on tasks and be able to address more activities in a given interval, thereby reducing resource shortage durations.

D. Increase the time interval within the simula-tion snapshot settings to spread out the arrival of tokens, allowing more time for the Field Technician to complete work before new work arrives, thereby reducing resource shortage durations.

Correct Answer: B

Question 3

The purpose of a business modeling project is to produce a future state model that can be used as a baseline technical model for other WebSphere tools. Which of the following steps would the process analyst complete to accomplish this goal?

A. 1. Integrate WebSphere Business Modeler with other WebSphere tools.
2.Model what if scenarios and gather future state requirements.
3.Validate future state processes and requirements.

B. 1. Model the current state process.
2.Model multiple solutions based on the future state.
3.Export model for use by other WebSphere tools.

C. 1. Determine business problems and opportunities for improvement in the current state process.
2.Model multiple solutions based on the opportunities for improvement.
3.Validate the future state process.

D. 1. Model and validate the current state process.
2.Identify, model and analyze what if scenarios.
3.Identify and model the future state based on the best implementation option.

Correct Answer: D

Question 4

When reviewing the simu-lations results, the process analyst discovered that for each task in the process that has multiple output criteria, the simula-tion engine would make a random selection of an output path, and generate outgoing tokens for each output defined in the output criterion. Which of the following settings was used during the simula-tion?

A. Randomly to a single path.

B. Based on probabilities to multiple paths.

C. Based on probabilities to a single path.

D. Based on an expression.

Correct Answer: C

Question 5

How should a process analyst define a business measure to calculate the length of time that a sub-process is actively running?

A. Define an instance metric to calculate the working duration.

B. Define an instance metric based on a working duration template.

C. Use a business measure template to calculate the working duration.

D. Define an aggregate metric to calculate the working duration.

Correct Answer: A

Question 6

A process analyst needs to simulate a printing process in a print shop. In a typical day, the printing machine will start running at 8 o'clock in the morning, and take approximately 2 hours to warm up. Then it will start running efficiently for the rest of the day. The printing machine will run for 7 hours and stop at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Which of the following settings should be used to simulate this scenario for a typical day?

A. Set 7 hours for maximum simula-tion duration.

B. Set process availability starts at 10 o'clock in the morning.

C. Set 2 hours for the Delay for steady state simula-tion.

D. Set process availability ends at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Correct Answer: C

Question 7

Refer to Exhibit.

A process analyst has performed simula-tion upon a business process and is analyzing the resource allocation within the process. After running the Process Resource Allocation Dynamic Analysis Report, it is observed that there is significant Average Shortage Duration on the "Wash Car" task within the process for both allocated bulk resources. The process analyst observes that the Water bulk resource has been defined as "Consumable" and has a sufficient Available Quantity value defined in order to support simula-tion input token generation. However, other tasks within this process also consume water. The Washer bulk resource is not allocated for any other activity in the process Based on this information, what conclusions can the process analyst draw in regards to reducing the average resource shortage durations?

A. Water is a consumable resource and therefore can be reused. Because of this, other tasks that are using the Water units are preventing the Wash Car activity from allocating units of Water to perform the task. This lack of availability is reflected in the Average Shortage Duration. Increasing the available units for the Water resource will reduce the Average Shortage Duration for the task.

B. Water is a consumable resource and therefore can not be reused. Once no more units of Water are available to a process simula-tion, the lack of availability is reflected in the Average Shortage Duration. Increasing the available units for both the Water and Washer resources will reduce the Average Shortage Durations for the task.

C. Water is a consumable resource and therefore can not be reused. Uncheck the Water bulk resource's Consumable option to make it reusable. Now, other tasks within the process can reuse the Water resource and will not have to wait to allocate it. Therefore, the Average Shortage Duration will decrease for the Water bulk resource.

D. There is no Average Shortage Duration for the Water bulk resource. The resource shortage occurs because of unavailable Washers, and this shortage duration is also reflected for the Water bulk resource as the task waits for all resources to become available before starting. Increasing the number of available Washer resources will reduce the Average Shortage Duration reflected for both Washers and Water.

Correct Answer: D

Question 8

A company has a vacation request process that: 1. allows employees to update or cancel any holiday request at any time before the start date. 2. requires approval from the employee's manager before the cancellation or update is effective. Which option outlines the modeling components required to model these requirements?

A. Use a timer to model a wait period in which an employee can update or cancel a request using
a human task.
Use a business service to notify the employee's manager.

B. Use a receive task to model how the process will receive an employee's update or cancel
request.
Use a human task to notify the employee's manager.

C. Use a timer to model a wait period in which an employee can update or cancel a request using
a human task.
Use a service to notify the employee's manager.

D. Use a receive task to model how the process will receive an employee's update or cancel
request.
Use a task to notify the employee's manager.
