Abstract(s)
In an increasingly global and competitive world, it is crucial for any organisation to have
efficient processes. To achieve this, organisations need to change and improve their work
processes. To be more efficient and competitive, information must be always clear and
accessible, which is not compatible with paperwork and manual tasks.
This project came from a seven-month traineeship in International Relations Office (IRO)
at Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at University of Maribor (UM). In
traineeship, one of the main duties is to manage the tasks about outgoing students’
applications in a real international environment. This outgoing students’ application are
done and controlled by sending e-mails, add information in an Excel file manually,
printed out files and archived them in fascicles. Nevertheless, this control and monitoring
process presents some limitations and problems, such as enabling information to be lost
and deadlines to be missed, as well as making it difficult to get data for statistics.
The main motivation of this project was to turn the outgoing students’ application more
simple, trackable, and efficient and the end goal is to create a management tool to monitor
and control the whole process daily and it will provide the dematerialization and
digitalization of the current process.
The prototype was implemented in a Business Process Management Suite (BPMS). For
the analytical treatment of the data and the creation of dashboards to control and monitor
the process implemented in the prototype, Microsoft Power BI was used with real data
from the international relations office.
The management control tool for outgoing students’ application contributes to the
optimization of the process through the digitalization and dematerialization of it, the data
access easily and gives dashboards and reports to visualize the information in a more
appealing way and get an overview of the process.
