Evaluating Business Process Improvement Patterns by Simulation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Existing approaches for business process improvement often lack systematic guidelines to transform a business process into an enhanced state, which we refer to as the “act of improvement”. To close this gap, a pattern-based approach has been designed and developed in previous works. In this paper, the usefulness of “Business Process Improvement Patterns” (BPI-Patterns) as a means of improving business processes is analyzed. For this purpose, a simulation experiment is performed in which several BPI-Patterns are applied to evaluate whether their anticipated effects can be confirmed for reallife business processes. From the analysis of the simulation results, i.e. how the application of BPIPatterns affects the business processes, we investigate enabling as well as hindering factors that influence the implementation of BPI-Patterns. These factors may serve as a means to further specify instances of BPI-Patterns and also contribute to the overall evaluation of the BPI-Pattern approach.

متن کاملA process-oriented methodology for evaluating the impact of IT: A proposal and an application in healthcare
In order to improve business process often Information Technologies (IT) are introduced. However, business processes are known to be complex and distributed among multiple business entities. As a result, the impact of new IT on an entire business process is typically unknown as quantitative methods for evaluation are missing. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a process‐oriented methodology f...
متن کاملProcess Modelling and Analysis Using Discrete - Event Simulation 4 BUSINESS PROCESS MODELLING
Globalisation and competitive pressure urge many organisations to radically change business processes. Although this approach can provide significant benefits such as reducing costs or improving efficiency, there are substantial risks associated with it. Using simulation for modelling and analysis of business processes can reduce that risk and increase the chance for success of Business Process...
