Accountability Model
The accountability model defines how authority, responsibility, and decision rights are assigned across enterprise processes. It ensures that ownership and execution responsibilities are clearly distinguished and consistently applied.
This page explains how accountability is structured within the Enterprise Business Process Architecture to support effective governance and compliance.
Systems & Tools
Systems and tools enable the execution, monitoring, and control of enterprise processes. They support process performance by providing structured methods for managing information, materials, and decisions.
This page describes the role of systems and tools within the Enterprise Business Process Architecture and how they support, but do not define, processes.
Purpose
Systems and tools support consistent process execution and data integrity. They enable automation, monitoring, and traceability while reducing variability and manual error.
Role of Systems and Tools
Systems and tools implement process requirements but do not replace process definition or ownership. A single process may be supported by multiple systems, and a single system may support multiple processes.
Dependencies and Integration
Processes often depend on integrated systems and tools to ensure end-to-end flow. Dependencies are identified and governed to maintain control and prevent unintended impacts during change.
Governance and Control
Systems supporting quality-critical processes are subject to governance under the Quality Management System, including validation, access control, and change management requirements.
