An Evaluation Framework for Inter-organizational Business Process Modeling Techniques

چکیده
Today, the development of information technology has led business process reengineering (BPR) into an age of inter-organizational BPR: rethinking and redesigning business processes at both the enterprise and supply chain level. Meanwhile, growth in BPR results in the popularity of business modeling techniques. The rapidly growing number of techniques induces the complexity in the selection of a suitable modeling technique for a certain BPR project. In this paper, we proposed a framework for understanding and evaluating modeling techniques in order to facilitate the process of selecting a technique suitable for inter-organizational BPR. This framework reflects different perspectives of the process representation and embodies the features of inter-organizational BPR. Furthermore, this paper defines the elements consisting the framework and explains the usage of them.

متن کاملTowards a Foundational Framework for Developing and Testing Inter-organizational Business Processes
Modeling and analyzing inter-organizational business processes is complicated substantially by heterogeneous process-modeling languages (e.g., surface vs. analysis languages) as well as by their inherent properties of loose coupling and local control (views).

متن کاملReference Modeling for Inter-organizational Systems
Inter-organizational business process models are created and used by different partner networks. Often, those models are similar but differ in certain business needs. Due to the lack of methods and tools, companies are required to start from scratch to create their specific models instead of taking advantage of and re-using already existing models. Therefore, we first analyze reference modeling...
