“…The present section refers to the 17 BPA design methodologies found among selected works. These correspond to 18 publications referred to in Section 4.3.1, namely, Adamek et al (2016), Barros and Julio (2011), Becker et al (2007), Bider et al (2016), Burton and Pennotti (2003), Castano and DeAntonellis (1996), Chourabi et al (2009), Dumont et al (2016), Eid-Sabbagh (2012), Frolov et al (2009), Green and Ould (2004), Gruhn and Köhler (2009), Gruhn and Wellen (2001), Heinrich et al (2009), Kudryavtsev and Grigoriev (2011), Ould (1997), Vidgen (1998) and zur Muehlen et al (2010). Findings are presented according to the categories of the proposed BPA methodology evaluation framework available in Appendix.…”

“…BPAs consist of a high-level model of the organization, representing the overall structure of BPs and their relationships. The literature provides several alternative names for this concept; the most frequents are process architecture (Adamek et al , 2016; Eid-Sabbagh, 2012; Frolov et al , 2009; Green and Ould, 2004; Ould, 1997; zur Muehlen et al , 2010), process landscape (Becker et al , 2007; Gruhn and Köhler, 2009; Gruhn and Wellen, 2001), process map (Chourabi et al , 2009; Heinrich et al , 2009) and BP models clusters (Dumont et al , 2016). In the remainder of this paper, the term BPA is used to refer to all of these variants.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the current state of the research field of business process architecture (BPA) and its design methodologies. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using meta- and content-based perspectives. Findings From over 6,000 candidate studies, 89 were selected. A fifth of these primary works corresponded to BPA design methodologies. Though the BPA research field remains in an early stage of development, it bears promising growth potential. Regarding BPA design methodologies, the following aspects susceptible for further research were detected: identification and modeling of business process relationships; specification of inputs; standardization of models, notations and tool support; consideration of managerial concerns; integration of knowledge from other areas; and validation of methodological and product quality aspects. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of the work lies in not being fully reproducible due to the fixed number of data sources and their digital nature, together with subjective decisions in work selection, data extraction and data analysis. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge no study has yet analyzed the BPA research field by means of an SLR. This study will benefit practitioners and research groups working on this topic by allowing them to get a rigorous overview of the BPA research field with an emphasis on available BPA design methodologies, and become aware of research gaps within the BPA field to position further research.

“…To understand business processes and their interactions in the big picture, a process architecture diagram is necessary for development and maintenance. In the literature, BPA are referred to as clusters [14], process maps [15,16], or process landscapes [17][18][19]. Despite the crucial role of blood banks and transfusion in health systems and services, the literature lacks a blueprint that presents the entire blood banking and transfusion processes and their relationships.…”

Background Blood banks are an important part of healthcare systems. They embrace critical processes that start with donor recruitment and blood collection, followed by blood processing to produce different types of blood components used in transfusions, blood storage, blood distribution, and transfusion. Blood components must be generated at high quality, preserved safely, and transfused in a timely manner. This can be achieved by operating interrelated processes within a complex network. There is no comprehensive blueprint of Blood Banking and Transfusion (BB&T) processes and their relationships; therefore, this study aims to develop and evaluate a BB&T process architecture using the Riva method. Research design This research adopts a design science research methodology process (DSRM) that aims to create artifacts for the purpose of serving humanity through six phases: identifying problems, identifying solutions and objectives, designing and developing artifacts, demonstrating and evaluating the artifacts, and communicating the work. The adapted DSRM process is used to build a process architecture in the BB&T unit to improve the quality and strategic planning of BB&T processes. Applying the adapted DSRM process generated four increments before the outcomes were communicated as a highly comprehensive BB&T process architecture (BB&TPA) blueprint for virtual organizations. Finally, the generated BB&TPA is tested and validated at a reference hospital. Results A Riva-based process architecture diagram was successfully developed, acting as a reference model for virtual BB&T organizations. It is a novel output in the domain of BB&T and can also be considered as a reference model to evaluate the existing processes in BB&T real-world units. This assists domain experts in performing gap analysis in their BB&T units and paths for developing BB&T management information systems and can be incorporated in the inspection workflow of accreditation organizations.
