business process Management Systems
International Conference on Data Engineering, 2003Co-Authors: A NoriAbstract:Business process automation is what e-business is all about. The essence of an "electronically" powered business is its ability to streamline operations, making information available where and when it is needed, thus increasing customer satisfaction and improving efficiency and effectiveness. However, implementing a solution for automating business processes presents significant difficulties at the business and technical levels. Through the years, enterprises have adopted various means for automating processes, from hand-coding a solution to using integration products and middleware technologies. The key characteristics for each of these solutions are that they are proprietary, expensive and complex. Additionally, they require a lot of time and a high skill set in order to succeed in an integration initiative. Fortunately, recent technical developments have come together that promise a dramatic increase in the ability of businesses to describe, change, and execute business processes, both within the enterprise and across the networked enterprise. There will be a new breed of Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) that support the Management of end-to-end transactional and collaboration processes: discovery, design, deployment, execution, interaction, operation/maintenance, analysis and optimization. BPM is emerging as a key enabler of collaborative commerce. In this seminar, we will comprehensively look at the emerging field of Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). We will study different steps of BPM, the underlying technologies (workflow, rules, data and application integration etc.), process based architectures and tools, and case studies illustrating the benefits of BPM.

the value proposition of anesthesia information Management Systems
Anesthesiology Clinics, 2008Co-Authors: Christoph Egger B Halbeis, Richard H EpsteinAbstract:Anesthesia information Management Systems add value to the anesthesiologist and the hospital above that which is provided by manual anesthesia records. The more complete documentation and less biased recording of vital signs in this system, relative to manual records, provide data needed for quality initiatives and operating room Management and for clinical research. The system can improve the ability to increase anesthesia charge capture, meet the requirements of pay-for-performance programs, and assist in the defense of malpractice allegations. Realization of value from the anesthesia information Management Systems requires additional expenditures of resources to adapt the Systems to meet specific institutional requirements.

benefits of Management Systems integration a literature review
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015Co-Authors: Merce Bernardo, Alexandra Simon, Juan Jose Tari, Jose F MolinaazorinAbstract:Abstract The purpose of this paper is to identify the benefits of integrated Management Systems by comparing them with the benefits obtained through the individual implementation of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. The methodology used is a literature review based on an electronic search in the Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Emerald databases. Findings show that although some benefits are common regardless the system Management type, the benefits obtained with integration are greater than considering Management Systems separately because of the wider scope considered in integration. This is one of the first papers, to the best of our knowledge, to compare benefits from the two Management Systems standards when implemented separately and when integrated. In addition, some ideas are proposed for consideration in future research on the internalization of Management Systems and selection effect.

how integrated are environmental quality and other standardized Management Systems an empirical study
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2009Co-Authors: Merce Bernardo, Stanislav Karapetrovic, Marti Casadesus, Inaki HerasAbstract:The aim of this article is to analyze the extent to which environmental Management Systems are really integrated with the quality and other standardized Management Systems implemented in organizations. To this end, an empirical study was carried out on 435 companies that were registered to multiple Management system standards, including ISO 14001: 2004 and ISO 9001: 2000 at the minimum. Overall, 362 of those organizations indicated that they had integrated all or at least some of their standardized Management Systems. Results from the cluster analysis show three types of organizations in function of their level of integration of Management system goals, documentation and human resources, as well as procedures. The results also illustrate which particular Management system components are integrated and to what degree.

the application of Management Systems to food safety and quality
Trends in Food Science and Technology, 1993Co-Authors: T MayesAbstract:Abstract Management Systems offer the food industry a structured framework around which companies can define and implement measures to enable the consistent manufacture of products of the required safety and quality standards. Such Systems can offer significant advantages to the food industry and consumers over traditional methods used for the control of product safety and quality. This mini-review concentrates on the applications and benefits of three Management Systems to food product safety and quality.
