A Unified Framework for e-Commerce Systems Development : Business Process Pattern Perspective

In electronic commerce, systems development is based on two fundamental types of models, business models and process models. A business model is concerned with value exchanges among business partners, while a process model focuses on operational and procedural aspects of business communication. Thus, a business model defines the what in an e-commerce system, while a process model defines the how. Business process design can be facilitated and improved by a method for systematically moving from a business model to a process model. Such a method would provide support for traceability, evaluation of design alternatives, and seamless transition from analysis to realization. This work proposes a unified framework that can be used as a basis to analyze, to interpret and to understand different concepts associated at different stages in e-Commerce system development. In this thesis, we illustrate how UN/CEFACT’s recommended metamodels for business and process design can be analyzed, extended and then integrated for the final solutions based on the proposed unified framework. Also, as an application of the framework, we demonstrate how process-modeling tasks can be facilitated in e-Commerce system design. The proposed methodology, called BP3 stands for Business Process Patterns Perspective. The BP3 methodology uses a question-answer interface to capture different business requirements from the designers. It is based on pre-defined process patterns, and the final solution is generated by applying the captured business requirements by means of a set of production rules to complete the inter-process communication among these patterns.

Business process reengineering: soluzioni ingegneristiche in ottica di re-layout, riorganizzazione del processo "service" ed attività di vendor rating in HSD S.p.A.

L'attività svolta in HSD S.p.A. si è concentrata sulle seguenti tematiche: progettazione di un nuovo layout con annessa pianificazione delle attività necessarie e valutazione economica dell'investimento, audit focalizzato ad individuare le criticità legate al processo di logistica inversa e proporne soluzioni migliorative ed infine implementazione di un sistema di controllo specifico e comparato dei fornitori.

Business process reengineering e project management: La creazione del sistema di gestione dei progetti in ICS Italia - Aspiag Service S.R.L.

L’obiettivo dell’elaborato è mostrare come, partendo da una robusta base teorica nelle discipline del Project Management e del Business Process Reengineering, sia possibile ridefinire un sistema di gestione dei progetti (a livello singolo e di aggregato) e sviluppare, presso il personale coinvolto, le competenze necessarie a sostenere autonomamente ed a migliorare il sistema così creato. La reingegnerizzazione della progettazione nell’azienda in esame si è sviluppata nell’arco di un quadriennio: nel 2010 è stata concretizzata la prima release dei processi di gestione del progetto singolo e dell’aggregato, nel 2011 è maturata la seconda release, mentre nel biennio 2012-2013 si sono “congelati” i risultati ottenuti e si è sviluppata l’autonomia dei Project Manager interni e del Project Management Office. Dall’analisi è emersa l’importanza di un solido approccio metodologico negli interventi di innovazione organizzativa.

Analysis of the introduction of a business process mapping system in Rosetti Marino spa

After a first theoric introduction about Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), are considered in particular the possible options found in literature regarding the following three macro-elements: the methodologies, the modelling notations and the tools employed for process mapping. The theoric section is the base for the analysis of the same elements into the specific case of Rosetti Marino S.p.A., an EPC contractor, operating in the Oil&Gas industry. Rosetti Marino implemented a tool developped internally in order to satisfy its needs in the most suitable way possible and buit a Map of all business processes,navigable on the Company Intranet. Moreover it adopted a methodology based upon participation, interfunctional communication and sharing. The GIGA introduction is analysed from a structural, human resources, political and symbolic point of view.

Sviluppo di un sistema informatico per la riconciliazione incassi attraverso metodologie di Business Process Management

L'argomento trattato in questo elaborato riguarda le teorie, metodologie e motivazioni che hanno portato allo sviluppo di un'applicazione web per la riconciliazione incassi, funzione peculiare della contabilità di un'azienda. Alla base delle scelte progettuali adottate, vi è una serie di studi sui processi e su come questi possano influenzare l'analisi e lo sviluppo dell'applicazione stessa. Per poter effettuare una transizione di questo tipo, sono state adottate metodologie come il Business Process Management e inevitabilmente il Business Process Re-engineering, che consentono di modificare, migliorare, adattare e ottimizzare i processi.

Generalizability and Applicability of Model-Based Business Process Compliance-Checking Approaches – A State-of-the-Art Analysis and Research Roadmap

With a steady increase of regulatory requirements for business processes, automation support of compliance management is a field garnering increasing attention in Information Systems research. Several approaches have been developed to support compliance checking of process models. One major challenge for such approaches is their ability to handle different modeling techniques and compliance rules in order to enable widespread adoption and application. Applying a structured literature search strategy, we reflect and discuss compliance-checking approaches in order to provide an insight into their generalizability and evaluation. The results imply that current approaches mainly focus on special modeling techniques and/or a restricted set of types of compliance rules. Most approaches abstain from real-world evaluation which raises the question of their practical applicability. Referring to the search results, we propose a roadmap for further research in model-based business process compliance checking.
