1 Business Process

A series of activities that are linked together to achieve an organization's goals Activities are assigned tostakeholders They will do a specific job for the purpose of providing a product or service, which your Company can use to track, test and monitor your business processes Following are some of the business processes for the company:

● Sale process: Also known as the sales cycle – is the method your company needs to follow in order to sell its products or services to customers It involves a series of steps, from the initial contact with the prospect to the final sale The sales process is similar to developing a relationship with a new person.

● Plan process: Diagnosing a company's internal strengths and weaknesses, improving its effectiveness, figuring out how it will compete with rival companies in the future, and setting measurable progress milestones.

● Reach customer process: Refers to the number of targeted current or potential customers that you can reach with your marketing message.

1.1.Important of Business Process

● Reduced risk and expenditure: A business process lays out the most efficient way to do a job, taking into account future shortcomings This reduces risk and expense.

● Reduced human error: Tasks are given to people who are more capable, thereby reducing therisk of human error.

● Collaboration - Working together as a team in a process and optimising the way the business works.

● Improved customer focus: A business process continuously updates your company with information relating to the needs of the customer and reviews about the service or product they receive.

● Effective communication: Using market research and reviews, you can communicate much better with the customer.

● Improved time management: Certain activities can be done more efficiently thanks to the development of strategies and flowcharts.

● Ability to adapt to new technology: Business processes can be improved by taking advantage of the latest technologies.

1.2.Types of data in Business intelligence

All data is not created equal Some data is structured, but most of it is unstructured Structured and unstructured data is sourced, collected and scaled in different ways, and each one resides in a different type of database.

⮚ In this dataset we can see that it is used for structured data such as include (Year_birth, Education, inhome, Marial_st, etc).

⮚ The use of Structured Data in this dataset will create quite a positive impact for the company in the future because of the usefulness of structured data, many companies have used it for analysis., store data.

⮚ With its use the company can manage the data stored in the database or manage the order, efficiently.

1.2.2 Unstructured data

Unstructured data stores contain a wealth of information that can be used to guide business decisions, in this section am going to talk about how we got it and how those information could be useful for our organisation:

● First source would be social media, customers often leave comments on what they like about the place, the price, People talk about their opinion on said place in social media a lot, by collecting these information we can analyse what the customer think about the place, listing the pros and cons

IFood, so they send IFood an email expressing said interest The content would often be how said spot inside IFood is more attractive than other placesUnstructured data is becoming more and more an extremely fertile thing today, because it contains a large amount of information that was once unexplorable, but with the use ofinformation development as it is today, that information can already be collected and used, and there have been many large companies in the world that have applied and used unstructured data to exploit information and data.

1.2.3 Semi-structured data

Collecting semi-structured have become a popular trend for businesses that look forwardto expanding and gaining profit Our are no different, here is a list of of information we collect to further understand the user:

● E-mails.● Chat conversation.● Phone conversation.

Analysing these data will be helpful and crucial in increase IFood’s gain Since our client doesn't have much data for semi-structured data we have gone ahead and encouraged them to have one because semi-structured data also have the characteristics of the two data types mentioned above, these characteristics make the data diverse With this diversity it will allow us to customise it based on the status quo or actual condition.

2 Supporting Process

⮚ Support processes that support the smooth functioning of business processes They may not be directly involved in the creation of the final product or service, but they do play an important role in ensuring that the overall process runs smoothly, maintaining product integrity or services developed by key processes, ensure that products and processes adhere to predefined terms and plans, the supporting processes that accompany the “main processes” do not usually lead tothe organization's end products, but indirectly contribute to added value, and documentation, configuration management, verification, training, and testing are all supporting processes.

⮚ For example, in the field of food sales, the support processes will support different parts as well as many areas including providing information technology, financial and human resources

technology services protect as well as collect and store customer information, Finance can know the company's expenses, profits or losses, goods can manage the quantity of products If the company lacks or respects any food, Human resources can manage the employees in the company's departments,

The objective of supporting process

✔ Define necessary to record all the information produced.

✔ Incorporate activities to identify, control, and statistical evaluation of configurations.✔ Define activities to objectively ensure that software products meet the specified

✔ Specify the activities to determine compliance with the requirements, plans and contracts.✔ Specify a process to analyze and eliminate (solve) the problems (including disagreements),

regardless of their nature or origin, which are discovered during the execution of the development, operation, and other processes.

IV.Compare the types of support available for business decision-making at varying levels within an organization (P2).

1 Decision Making and Decision-Support Systems (DDS)

It helps managers make decisions about the most efficient way to stage deliveries to loading points based on production requirements, routes and timeframes Such systems have powerful analytical capabilities that assist managers in the decision-making process.

2 Type of Decision

2.1.1 Understand

⮚ The strategic level is concerned with deciding and developing strategic plans to achieve strategic goals (or objectives) Organizational mission:

o Target Goalso plano Agreeo Expected

⮚ The strategic level needs to scan and analyze the external environment to find information.⮚ The strategic level helps to achieve the goals in the best possible way, it always ensures the

future of development.

⮚ The strategic level involves multiple segments or sections when collecting inputs.o Emerging technology

o Competitiono Consumer Choices

o Economic, social and political change

2.1.2 Data type used and Executor

⮚ The strategic level is concerned with deciding and developing the future plans of the company so this implementation will always be delegated to the senior management in the company such as the president, director, deputy director.

⮚ The strategic level of information is always mixed from pictures, videos, and don't know exactly, because of these chaos, it always has no fixed structure, so I have concluded that at this level is the use of unstructured data and

2.2.1 Understand

⮚ Depending on the type of company and the growth of the company, it can be planned in the mid-range.

⮚ The tactical level always focuses on a specific part to analyze and implement the goal.

2.2.2 Data type used and Executor

⮚ This level of organization is dominated by middle managers, department heads, supervisors, etc Users at this level typically monitor user activities at the operations management level.⮚ Tactical users make semi-structured decisions Decisions are partly based on set guidelines

and judgment calls.

2.3.Operational Levels2.3.1 Understand

⮚ The operational level involved in carrying out the day-to-day business transactions of the organization is considered a short-term operation.

⮚ Your company on the go will see concrete results in a short period of time and can capture the most specific details soon.

⮚ Users at this level use to make structured decisions This means that they have defined rules that guide them while making decisions.

2.3.2 Data type used and Executor

⮚ Because this is the level that is carried out in detail about a specific purpose of the day, as well as evaluating and analyzing small problems in a large project, the people who do it in the company will often be groups, teams, members, and low-level managers perform these tasks.

⮚ This will also be a small project that needs to be done and has data for specific analysis because at this level, structured data will be used to perform.
