“…For comprehensive organizational analysis, a data model that can incorporate other organizational information such as resource availability, task capability fully needs to be designed. Moreover, existing business process simulation approaches also do not consider organizational structures [10][11][12][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Researchers indicate that the main reason for the failure of existing BPR or PI projects is that only business processes have been analyzed without considering other organizational factors, such as the organizational structure, even though these factors significantly affect business process execution and performance [1,4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In particular, business processes and organizational structures have been designed and researched independently despite their inter-relationships [10,16]. As shown in Figure 1, an identical business process can be executed differently according to different organizational structures and human resources who execute these tasks.…”

Even though the extremely uncertain current global business environment requires organizations to change their business processes and organizational structures to adapt to their extremely uncertain and complex environments, existing methodology and system cannot support this problem. This paper presents a comprehensive simulation and redesign system to simulate business processes and organizational structure simultaneously and derive the most process-oriented organizational structure efficiently. The methodology and system suggested in this study can predict the effects of changing business processes and organizational structures through the simulation and derive appropriate and practical organizational structures that execute current processes efficiently through the genetic algorithm. Existing business process researches have the limitations that they rarely have considered the effects of organizational structure on the performance, and this study have outstanding academic contribution in solving the problem systematically using simulation and optimization techniques.

“…Moreover, specific methodologies such as the Process Re-engineering-oriented Organisational Change Exploratory Simulation System (PROCESS) are described. These approaches represent both Organisation Re-engineering (OR) as well as Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) in order to improve customer orientation (Chen and Tsai, 2008). Bevilacqua et al (2009) describe a BPR taking IT-and workflow management systems into account where process modelling is implemented with software support (Adamides and Karacapilidis, 2006).…”

Purpose – Sectors with high transport volumes face the challenge of reengineering existing processes. Furthermore, new models that support transportation processing are required. One possible model would be a fourth party logistics service provider (4PL) approach in order to increase the efficient use of resources. The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for reengineering a transportation handling process using the 4PL approach. Design/methodology/approach – Based upon a case study approach existing processes for transportation handling are modelled. Specifications of and definitions for the 4PL approach are compiled and analysed through a literature review. With the help of expert interviews essential functions are identified and the target model is validated. Findings – The results of the effort demonstrate that the application of a 4PL approach facilitates an improved transportation process. This may be due to the modification of the IT and communication technology (ICT) that have been applied. Based upon expanded planning horizons an improved planning of orders, a strengthening of the competencies of the involved actors were observed. Practical implications – Transportation handling in the agricultural sector is of increasing importance in light of the need to feed a growing global population under the condition of limited productive land for agriculture. This paper describes the alterations in the ICT infrastructure as well as the resulting organisational and technical implications, if a 4PL is used. Originality/value – The 4PL approach is an issue that is increasingly discussed in scientific publications. Furthermore, this approach has experienced new opportunities for implementation due to recent developments in ICT.

“…As a result, proponents of business process re-engineering (Davenport, 1993, Bernus and Nemes, 1996, Gunasekaran and Irani, 2010, Vernadat, 2002, Hammer and Champy, 1993 have indicated that it is always necessary to model the conceived business case in a virtual world; experiment and modify resources and flow sequences until optimal solution is obtained (Gunasekaran and Kobu, 2002. Other researchers have indicated that being able to achieve this in an efficient, timely and cost effective manner requires the use of a coherent set of well experimented modelling tools focussed on products, processes, resources, information, cost, value, etc , AMICE, 1993, Chen and Tsai, 2008, Lohse et al, 2006.…”

Factory (re) design involves the appropriate utilisation of product, process and resource knowledge in the determination of suitable configurations of physical factory facilities which have the potential to meet industrial and organisational requirements. Different independent semantic modelling standards exist for products, processes and resources but to automate and facilitate the selection of factory resources, there is the need to semantically integrate resource capabilities with product and process requirements. This paper defines a 'recipe-based' approach to designing factories and it is based on the assumption that capabilities and competences of reusable components (or building blocks) of factory resources can be semantically modelled and matched with product-process requirements. This approach will enable Factory Designers and Engineers to decide on relevant resource systems within finite, valuable and defined sets of requirements.
