Introduction
This paper presents one approach for modeling the educational processes as a value added chain. We attempt to interpret and compile existing business, governance and education processes reference models and suggest an example Academic Chain Operation Model (ACOM). The latter can be used to develop an Academic Chain Operation Reference Model (ACORM) in the same way it is with already established business models.
Methodology and previous works
• We follow the BPM methodology. Our approach uses BPM tool to describe, model, animate and simulate the chosen processes.
• Previous works– Education and Training Models– The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) – Blended Learing System Structure (BLESS)– The Value Chain Operations Reference model – VCOR– Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL®)– FEA Consolidated Reference Model– Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR)– Design Chain Operations
Reference model (DCOR)– …

Decomposition the processesinto groups
Following the APQC research on process (APQC 2006) we can decompose the educational processes into following groups:
• Category• Process Group• Process• Activity
Category Academic Chain Operations
Model (ACOM)
Process Group Curriculum process group chain
model
For each of the above model’s processes we have to describe• Mission• Goals• Scope
– Includes– Excludes
• Key Performance Indicators • Workflow• Roles

Conclusion
Our dynamic life requires from us to implemented new educational methods and forms, according to various existing needs. The elements of ACOM have been developed to model the academic activities associated with selected phases of the educational process. It shows the approach how to model and simulate educational activities and in this way to satisfy the learner's demand and to synchronise activities between educational institutions.
