QUESTION NO: 3
Which of the following describes a purpose and outcome of process modeling?

A. simula-tion models can be used to visually analyze the real-time flow of a business process. B. Analysis models are built at a level of detail that includes data needed to evaluate the process in light of the business problem to be solved. C. Documentation models are built at one level of detail that include business performance measurement and are intended to provide simula-tion details. D. Definition models are built at varying levels of detail that include organizational units and business items that are intended for use in improvement opportunity identification.

Correct Answer: B

QUESTION NO: 4
A process analyst has completed a process model and is required to validate it. One of the validations is to ensure that there are no potential situations where a sequence of activities can be repeated indefinitely. Using Static Analysis, how can the process analyst quickly validate that there are no sequence of tasks that can potentially loop endlessly?

A. 1. Run the Activities Unable to Start Report.
2. Identify any activities that were not able to be invoked within the process, locate the preceding construct that connects a downstream activity's output to an upstream activity's input. B. 1. Run the Activity Throughput Report.
2. Identify the throughput of all activities that deliver more outputs per hour than anticipated. C. 1. Run the Paths Unable to be Followed Report.
2. Identify any paths that were not able to be invoked within the process, and locate the preceding construct that connects a downstream activity's output to an upstream activity's input. D. 1. Run the Path Cycles Report.
2. Identify the cycle name assigned to each path cycle in the process and correlate that back to the process model.

Correct Answer: D

QUESTION NO: 5
A process analyst runs the Activities Unable To Start analysis and finds highlighted activities in the process diagram. What does this indicate?

A. Task processing time is shorter than the resources' time required. B. Resource shortage duration exceeds the resource wait time. C. Input to the task comes from a local repository. D. Required quantity of roles or resources is not available.

Correct Answer: D

QUESTION NO: 6
A process analyst needs to model persons that may act as a Project Executive, Project Manager or Resource Manager depending on their skills. Which of the following is the BEST way to represent this requirement?

A. Create a Bulk Resource with an available quantity of 3. B. Create three Individual Resources; one for a Project Executive, one for a Project Manager and one for a Resource Manager. C. Create three Roles; one for a Project Executive, one for a Project Manager and one for a Resource Manager. D. Create three Bulk Resources; one for a Project Executive, one for a Project Manager and one for a Resource Manager.

Correct Answer: C

QUESTION NO: 7
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 process availability ends at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. B. Set process availability starts at 10 o'clock in the morning. C. Set 7 hours for maximum simula-tion duration. D. Set 2 hours for the Delay for steady state simula-tion.

Correct Answer: D

QUESTION NO: 8
A business office has 10 printers of the same make and model. Each printer is identified by its serial number. The process analyst needs to conduct a utilization analysis of each individual printer. What is the MOST efficient way to model these printers to support this analysis?

A. Create an individual resource for each of the 10 computers using serial number as the resource name. B. Create an individual resource definition. Add the serial number attribute. Create 10 individual resources and associate them with the individual resource definition. C. Create a bulk resource definition. Add the serial number attribute. Create a new bulk resource and associate it with the bulk resource definition. Set the quantity to 10. D. Create a role. Add the serial number attribute.

Correct Answer: A

QUESTION NO: 9
A process analyst has synchronized the workspace with the IBM Rational ClearCase version. After accepting the updates from the repository, the following error is present in the Errors View: "Process invocation "Process 2" used by process or loop "Process 1" is no longer consistent with its global process definition." What is the MOST efficient manner to correct this error?

A. In the project tree, right click on "Process 2" and select Update Global Element. B. Open "Process 1." Locate "Process 2" within the model. Right-click on it and select Update Global Element. Save the process. C. In the project tree, right click on "Process 1" and select Update Global Element. D. Open "Process 2." Locate "Process 1" within the model. Right-click on it and select Update Global Element. Save the process.

Correct Answer: B

QUESTION NO: 10
