EDOC - The Case for Unified Process Management in Smart Manufacturing
2018 IEEE 22nd International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference (EDOC), 2018Co-Authors: Jonnro Erasmus, Irene Vanderfeesten, Konstantinos Traganos, Paul GrefenAbstract:Business Process Management is often deployed to improve enterprise integration, but its impact is yet to reach manufacturing operations. We propose the concept of unified Process Management that facilitates integration between business Management and manufacturing operations. The proposition is presented as an updated enterprise architecture for computer integrated manufacturing, converged around a centralized Process Management system. The Process Management system can orchestrate both business and operations activities by issuing work items to humans and robots connected via the internet-of-things. We present a realization of such a Process Management system and evaluate the proposition with an industrial case study. The results support the unification of Process Management as an enabler of smart manufacturing.

Networked Business Process Management
International Journal on It\ business Alignment and Governance, 2013Co-Authors: Paul GrefenAbstract:In the current economy, a shift can be seen from stand-alone business organizations to networks of tightly collaborating business organizations. To allow this tight collaboration, business Process Management in these collaborative networks is becoming increasingly important. This paper discusses automated support for this networked business Process Management: automated means to manage business Processes that span multiple autonomous organizations. The author starts this paper with a treatment of intra-and inter-organizational business Processes to provide a conceptual background for business Process Management in business networks. The author describes a number of research approaches in this area, including the context of these approaches and the architectures of the automated systems proposed by them. The approaches are described from early developments in the field relying on dedicated technology to current designs based on standardized technology in a service-oriented context. The paper thereby provides an overview of developments in the area of inter-organizational business Process Management in the spectrum from simple, static business networks to complex, dynamic networks. The author observes that the described BPM research efforts move from pushing new BPM technology into application domains to using BPM to realize business-IT alignment in complex application contexts.

Strategic Business Process Management for Organisational Effectiveness
Long Range Planning, 1999Co-Authors: Colin Armistead, Jean Philip Pritchard, Simon MachinAbstract:Abstract This paper examines Business Process Management (BPM) as a strategic Management tool based on case study research. It seeks to clarify some of the uncertainties and ambiguities of the subject. A number of key themes of Business Process Management are developed and discussed, based on the experience of more mature Business Process Management organisations. These themes have implications for organisations seeking to improve their organisational effectiveness.

business Process Management concepts languages architectures
2007Co-Authors: Mathias WeskeAbstract:Business Process Management is usually treated from two different perspectives: business administration and computer science. While business administration professionals tend to consider information technology as a subordinate aspect in business Process Management for experts to handle, by contrast computer science professionals often consider business goals and organizational regulations as terms that do not deserve much thought but require the appropriate level of abstraction. Matthias Weske argues that all communities involved need to have a common understanding of the different aspects of business Process Management. To this end, he details the complete business Process lifecycle from the modeling phase to Process enactment and improvement, taking into account all different stakeholders involved. After starting with a presentation of general foundations and abstraction models, he explains concepts like Process orchestrations and choreographies, as well as Process properties and data dependencies. Finally, he presents both traditional and advanced business Process Management architectures, covering, for example, workflow Management systems, service-oriented architectures, and data-driven approaches. In addition, he shows how standards like WfMC, SOAP, WSDL, and BPEL fit into the picture. This textbook is ideally suited for classes on business Process Management, information systems architecture, and workflow Management. This 2nd edition contains major updates on BPMN Version 2 Process orchestration and Process choreographies, and the chapter on BPM methodologies has been completely rewritten. The accompanying website www.bpm-book.com contains further information and additional teaching material.

Business Process Management - Business Process Management: a survey
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2003Co-Authors: Wil M. P. Van Der Aalst, Arthur Hofstede, Mathias WeskeAbstract:Business Process Management (BPM) includes methods, techniques, and tools to support the design, enactment, Management, and analysis of operational business Processes. It can be considered as an extension of classical Workflow Management (WFM) systems and approaches. Although the practical relevance of BPM is undisputed, a clear definition of BPM and related acronyms such as BAM, BPA, and STP are missing. Moreover, a clear scientific foundation is missing. In this paper, we try to demystify the acronyms in this domain, describe the state-of-the-art technology, and argue that BPM could benefit from formal methods/languages (cf. Petri nets, Process algebras, etc.).
