A High Level Intro Book on Process Mapping, Feb 18 2006
By H. Wang - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enterprise Process Mapping: Integrating Systems For Compliance And Business Excellence (Paperback)
This book dose a good job on describing what is enterprise process mapping and how companies can benefit from mapping their processes. However, I think the discussion on how to conduct process mapping still remains at a pretty high level. The notations used are not industry standard (I'd like to see a book using UML Activity Diagram 2.0) and the case studies presented are too sketchy (espaceally, the case about SOX compliance). It would be nice if the author can dedicate a chapter to a detailed case to show how to apply the introduced process mapping concepts and techniques. Overall, it is a neat book worth reading.

Just read Enterprise Process Mapping by Charles Cobb, Mar 1 2005
By Adrian Bishop - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Enterprise Process Mapping: Integrating Systems For Compliance And Business Excellence (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for those readers wishing to use process mapping to understand and improve business processes. The book is well organized and extremely informative. While it concentrates on the "how to" of process mapping it does so in the context of real business applications and is a natural successor to Charles's previous book From Quality to Business Excellence

You have to buy the program, Oct 11 2005

This review is from: Enterprise Process Mapping: Integrating Systems For Compliance And Business Excellence (Paperback)
This is a book that does not explain how to map your process, if you want to do that you must have to buy the software and must have a Microsoft Visio License.
