About The Customer
China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC) is a state-owned, large-scale enterprise managed by the central government of China. Its industrial portfolio includes aviation equipment, transport aircraft and engines, trade logistics, asset management, finance, engineering construction, automobile and more. There are in excess of 100 member divisions under the management of the corporation. AVIC is administered according to the regulations associated with China’s planned economy. Rapid development of industrialization processes and information technology meant the aviation industry was soberly aware of its management function limitations compared to its advanced, international competitors.
The Challenge
AVIC, a large-scale enterprise managed by the central government of China, was facing pressure from the aviation industry to improve its processes. The company had no top-level design and individualized processes with no collective strategy. The business and IT strategy were misaligned. AVIC had a number of complex, disparate systems and processes that needed to be streamlined if it was going to outshine its competition in terms of efficiency and agility and deliver on its strategy. Its approach was twofold: First, establish its AVIC Operation System (AOS) and get IT management in order and, second, conduct an in-depth process application analysis and smarten up.
The Solution
AVIC chose Software AG and the ARIS solution to support and unify its AOS process architecture. Software AG’s ARIS is a process-oriented model architecture based on the idea of information integration. The core idea of ARIS is to describe the various aspects of enterprise business in terms of multiple views, multi-level, multi-relevance and lifecycle. Software AG consultants worked with AVIC to conduct a comprehensive analysis to identify key process issues using their process-oriented modeling philosophy. Next they supported AVIC to describe, understand and improve the present situation of the enterprise. A series of metamodels from ARIS was deployed to establish where efficiency gains would be. Finally enterprise process management activities were implemented through ARIS in the IT environment and throughout the business.
Operational Impact
  • Aligned processes across 100 member divisions
  • Unified process terminology, model expression and BPM lifecycle
  • Integrated product development and agile operations
  • Delivered on the promise of rapid customer response
