Abstract

In the ongoing efforts to standardize and modernize production methods at INEGI, driven by the adoption of GSBPM, we have recognized the imperative to enhance activities, data, and metadata management. This requires seamless integration of stakeholders and software applications involved in generating statistical and geographical information.

To address this need, we aim to expand the utility of GSBPM through BPMN-based process modeling. BPMN offers a visually intuitive and structured approach to represent activity and data flows. Beyond mere graphical representation, this methodology enables association of metadata with each data object shown, facilitating comprehensive documentation of its attributes. The result is a coherent depiction of the process through a diagram and a database of activities and data objects.

Within the realm of process modeling, GSIM serves as a conceptual framework, standardizing the data inputs and outputs across phases and activities. This fosters a clearer understanding of data requirements for IT teams, promoting the delivery of technology services tailored to business needs. Furthermore, it establishes a robust communication conduit between production-focused business units and application and information systems personnel.

Moreover, process modeling aids in pinpointing areas for improvement, identifying redundancies and delineating critical process pathways. This groundwork lays the foundation for automating and reusing data, metadata, applications, and technological components, which aims to improve process efficiency, reduce operating costs and guarantee the quality of statistical and geographical information produced by INEGI.
