We study investment and disinvestment decisions in situations where there is a time lagd> 0 from the timetwhen the decision is taken to the timet+dwhen the decision is implemented. In this paper we apply the probabilistic approach to the combined entry and exit decisions under the Parisian implementation delay. In particular, we prove the independence between Parisian stopping times and a general Brownian motion with drift stopped at the stopping time. Relying on this result, we solve the constrained maximization problem, obtaining an analytic solution to the optimal ‘starting’ and ‘stopping’ levels. We compare our results with the instantaneous entry and exit situation, and show that an increase in the uncertainty of the underlying process hastens the decision to invest or disinvest, extending a result of Bar-Ilan and Strange (1996).

Subject. This article analyzes the business processes in the insurance company, using the method of their operation with the selection of key areas of activity. Objectives. The article aims to describe certain business processes in insurance, highlighting participants, lines of activity, and the sequence of procedures. It analyzes the business process Settlement of Losses, which is one of the significant business processes in the insurance company. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of induction and deduction, analogy, and the systems approach. Results. Based on the analysis and description of business processes in the insurance company and the identification of key elements and steps in terms of the effectiveness of decisions, the article identifies the checkpoints of Entry and Exit, activity direction, and resources of the Settlement of Losses process. Conclusions. The application of the categories that split business processes makes it possible to develop step regulation for all processes and acceptable control procedures for different operations. The presented checkpoints at different steps of the business process will help identify weaknesses and eliminate them by re-checking the point.
