Abstract:
Business Process Automation can be applied in the higher education business process, including the student's final project business process. The undergraduate program in the Kalimantan Institute of Technology (ITK) ends with the writing of the final project, in which students have to follow the research methods and grammar rules of scientific writing (ITK, 2018). There are several processes that need to be followed in order to finish the final project, namely registration, proposal presentation, research & supervisory, and final project defense. There are also 18 forms that need to be filled throughout the final project process. Problems occurred due to no information systems to support this business process, leading to missing forms, missing information in each form, ineffective supervisory activities, and past deadline final project completion. To solve these problems, it is necessary to do business process automation for the entire process of the final project. In this study, the
method used was part of the life cycle of Business Process Management (BPM), namely, business process implementation. The steps that were taken in this method confirmed the process model, identify automation boundaries, task manual review, complete the process model, bring the process model to an adequate granularity, and specify the execution process. The results obtained from this study were the Final Project Information System had been implemented using ProcessMaker, and there were 13 proposed process improvements in the Final Project Guidelines.
