| business process management example: Business Process Management Mathias Weske, 2024 In this book, Mathias Weske details the complete business process lifecycle from process modeling to process enactment and process evaluation. After starting with the general foundations and abstractions in business process management, he introduces process modeling languages and process choreographies, as well as formal properties of processes and data. Eventually, he presents both traditional and advanced business process management architectures, covering, for example, workflow management systems, service-oriented architectures, and data-driven approaches. The 4th edition of his book contains significant updates, including a new section on directly follows graphs that play a crucial role in process mining. In addition, the core of declarative process modeling is introduced. The increasingly important role of data in business processes is addressed by a new section on data objects and data models in the data and decision chapter. To cover a recent trend in process automation, the enterprise systems architecture chapter now includes a section on robotic process automation. Mathias Weske argues that all communities involved need to have a common understanding of the different aspects of business process management. Hence his textbook is ideally suited for classes on business process management, information systems architecture, and workflow management alike. The accompanying website www.bpm-book.com contains further information and additional teaching material. |

It shows how to achieve high performance successfully in a digital business environment. Static business models do not keep pace with the dynamic changes in our digital world. Organizations need a management approach that fits this environment and capitalizes on its opportunities while minimizing the related risks. They need to execute their business strategy fast and reliably. In effect, they have to know how and when to modify or enhance their business processes, which processes are the best candidates for intervention, and how to move rapidly from strategy to execution. This means organizations need to establish business process management as a real management discipline. The importance of process innovation, digital technology and people aspects, process governance, internationalization, emerging processes and the unique situation in mid-market organizations are some of the key topics discussed in this book. It ends with a comprehensive case study and a discussion about what process engineers can learn from jazz musicians. |

| business process management example: Business Process Management Akhil Kumar, 2018-02-02 This book introduces students to business process management, an approach that aims to align the organization’s business processes with the demands of the marketplace. Processes serve as a coordination mechanism, and the aim of business process management is to improve the organization’s effectiveness and efficiency in adapting to change, and maintaining competitive advantage. In Business Process Management, Kumar argues for the value of looking at businesses as a collection of processes that cut across departments, and for breaking down functional silos. The book provides an overview of the basic concepts in this field before moving on to more advanced topics such as process verification, flexible processes, process security and evaluation, resource assignment, and social networks. The book concludes with an examination of the future directions of the discipline. Blending a strong grounding in current research with a focus on concepts and tools, Business Process Management is an accessible textbook full of practical examples and cases that will appeal to upper level students. |
| business process management example: Combining Business Process Management and Enterprise Architecture for Better Business Outcomes Claus T. Jensen, Owen Cline, Martin Owen, IBM Redbooks, 2011-03-31 This IBM® Redbooks® publication explains how to combine business process management (BPM) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) for better business outcomes. This book provides a unique synergistic approach to BPM and EA, based on a firm understanding of the life cycles of the enterprise and the establishment of appropriate collaboration and governance processes. When carried out together, BPM provides the business context, understanding, and metrics, and EA provides the discipline to translate business vision and strategy into architectural change. Both are needed for sustainable continuous improvement. This book provides thought leadership and direction on the topic of BPM and EA synergies. Although technical in nature, it is not a typical IBM Redbooks publication. The book provides guidance and direction on how to collaborate effectively across tribal boundaries rather than technical details about IBM software products. The primary audience for this book is leaders and architects who need to understand how to effectively combine BPM and EA to drive, as a key differentiator, continuous improvement and transformational change with enterprise scope. |

| business process management example: Business Process Management Andreas Gadatsch, 2023-05-27 This textbook bridges the gap between business management and organisational methods and their digital implementation, because process management increasingly means designing operational tasks. In addition to methodological basics, the work offers many practical examples and exercises. Prof. Gadatsch's book is now considered the current classic, THE authoritative standard work on IT-supported design of business processes. The tenth edition has been revised and adapted to the requirements of the digital transformation. Process management has evolved greatly due to the trend of digitalisation and as a result of the pandemic. Another related trend is the increased use of Data Science methods for process management, which has been consequently named Process Science at scientific conferences. Recent research results published under the heading of Explorative Process Management are also of particular importance. They show that the first main phase of process management was rather focused on optimising existing processes and business models. New practical examples were included at various points in the book, for example the migration strategies for the ERP system SAP S/4 HANA, which is the basis for many industrial and service processes. The chapter on modelling processes was updated and newer methods such as Business Model Canvas were included. |

| business process management example: Business Process Management (BPM) Bernhard Hitpass, 2014-07-07 Nowadays, an organization is expected to be not only effective and efficient, as it was formerly. Now, in addition, it should be able to adapt to the frequent changes driven by globalization, let us say, be agile. This business agility has become more important in these times of globalization. The organization that best respond to the fast-changing market, which is becoming increasingly frequent, will have better competitive advantages than those that fail to sustain the pace imposed by globalization. What are the tools that organizations are using to better achieving agility, effectiveness, and efficiency? The answer is more control and efficiency with the ability to manage change in their business processes, because these can create value for customers. BPM is an integrative discipline that comprises management disciplines and techniques. It involves the business layers and technology, including also management through processes, as an integrated whole. The structure of this book consists of two parts. «Part I, Fundamentals of BPM» describe the state of the art of the major BPM theoretical concepts. «Part II, Implementation for BPM» is dedicated to presenting the concepts of implementation, developed largely by the author. This second part considers the technological support in each of the BPM layers. The author shows how to implement the core principles of the discipline, which differs itself from traditional management. This book is for all professionals, whether they perform in the public, private or non-profits sectors who require or want to learn more about this process management discipline. It is also for students and academics of the industrial and computer sciences, and to all the business and administration Schools. |

| business process management example: Business Process Management Wil M.P. van der Aalst, Boualem Benatallah, Fabio Casati, Francisco Curbera, 2005-09-19 This volume contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2005), organized by LORIA in Nancy, France, September 5–8, 2005. This year, BPM included several innovations with respect to previous e- tions, most notably the addition of an industrial program and of co-located workshops. This was the logical result of the signi?cant (and still growing) - dustrial interest in the area and of the broadening of the research communities working on BPM topics. The interest in business process management (and in the BPM conference) was demonstrated by the quantity and quality of the paper submissions. We received over 176 contributions from 31 countries, accepting 25 of them as full papers (20 research papers and 5 industrial papers) while 17 contributions were accepted as short papers. In addition to the regular, industry, and short pres- tations invited lectures weregiven by Frank Leymannand Gustavo Alonso.This combination of research papers, industrial papers, keynotes, and workshops, all of very high quality, has shown that BPM has become a mature conference and the main venue for researchers and practitioners in this area. We would like to thank the members of the Program Committee and the reviewers for their e?orts in selecting the papers. They helped us compile an excellent scienti?c program. For the di?cult task of selecting the 25 best papers (14% acceptance rate) and 17 short papers each paper was reviewed by at least three reviewers (except some out-of-scope papers). |

| business process management example: Business Process Management Mathias Weske, 2012-05-03 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. |
