Reference document – ”SD’s METIS” – METIS: confirmed standard for official statistical production – Adopted by some of our peers – Translation of document – Approach for SD version – Testing the extent to which the model apply to SD – An ”SD METIS” would be a milestone for business process- and architectural maturity – Necessary to move ahead according to our corporate objective of increasing standardisation – Initial focus on phases 4 -7

Model/template for statistical business processes – METIS level (“which phases do we open”? ) – Control-flow level (phases, input, output, time) – Functional level (”who does what, and in what order? ”) – ”AS-IS” and/or ”TO-BE” – BPMN: Standardized notation – Collect ideas and convert them into action (standardisation, efficiency and quality) – Form • Workshop • Facilitated by working group • Ownership of results to the statistical team • Needs a mandate!
Selection of pilot cases • • • Social Statistics: – Population register – Student register (register updates) Business Statistics – General account statistics (SBS) – Employment in construction industries – Retail Trade Index – Industrial commodity statistic – Farm Structure Survey – Car register and associated statistics – Use of ICT in enterprises Economic Statistics – Consumer price index – Foreign trade in services Sales and Marketing – Interview task: Yearly survey on safety – Key figures in housing (standardized product from SDs Customer Services Centre) User Services – Data collection-processes/-systems (XIS, CEMOS)
Selection of cases in Business Statistics Dimension Values Cases Frequency - Short term vs. - Structural statistics - ECS - SBS Standardised system (if any) - Statistics in standardised systems vs. - Statistics in stand-alone systems - ECS - SBS Complexity - Simple vs. - Complex - RTI - SBS Type of Statistical Unit - Statistics based on SBR vs. - Statistics with other units - SBS - C-Reg Method for error detection - Micro-based error detection vs. - Macro-based error detection - SBS - ECS Coverage - Sample vs. - Cut-off vs. - Population - ECS - ICS - FSS Confidentiality scheme - Positive confidentiality vs. - Negative confidentiality - SBS - ICS Cost - Statistics with high cost vs. - Statistics with low cost - SBS - RTI Stability - Few changes by each iteration vs. - Many changes by each iteration - ECS - UIE Maturity - Well established statistic in SD - New statistic in SD - SBS - (RII) ”Type” - Primary statistic vs. - Derived statistic - ICS - C-Reg

Results of process analysis (an overview) • Focus on processes is useful and has immediate effect in some cases • Improvements for statistical teams – Quality (documentation, new quality measures, etc. ) – Standardisation (Use of standardised systems) – Efficiency (Eliminate manual processes) • Improvements in communication – Many project managers regarding digitalisation – Coordinator function • Improvements in efficiency for data collection – Focus on areas of responsibility • Huge difference in degree of standardisation – Dissemination – Data collection – Data processing

Metadata coverage
Metadata coverage • Dissemination phase is very well covered • Although dissemination phase is covered by four different applications the overlap is very limited • The vision for the future is to create a single metadata system • The data model should be based on three data stages (raw data, micro data, macro data)
Metadata coverage

Lessons learned • Planning a strategy for further development is better using GSBPM • Identify areas of interest for improvement initiatives. • Major challenges regarding steps where data is processed • Further standardization of methods is necessary • A clearer view of the different need for metadata and documentation • A better overview of the strong and the weak areas of our metadata applications
