Abstract: BPMA is a local management agency established by the Indonesian Government responsible in managing and monitoring upstream oil and gas projects in Aceh Province. The business process of direct bidding working areas encountered several issues such as disintegrated activities, excessive bureaucracy, and tasks redundancy leading to excessive time consumption and inflexibility. This study employed business process improvement (BPI) method to analyse and redesign the business process. The result discovered 108 activities accomplished in 1,180 days for the as-is model and 91 activities with the duration of 554 days for the to-be model. The performance comparison between the two models based on devil's quadrangle indicated 53% of time saving and 16% increase in flexibility. Eventually, this study is expected to improve the process performance, shorten processing time, maximise the function of BPMA, as well as create effective, efficient and adaptable direct bidding business processes in oil and gas industry.
Keywords: business process; business process improvement; BPI; oil and gas industry; streamlining; devil's quadrangle.
