“…Moreover, design or modeling of the business process is described as the time period during which manual and/or automated workflow descriptions of a process are described [40]. The workflow model typically contains a collection of concepts that are useful in the description of the business process, its activities, the dependencies among activities, and the requirements that will implement the required activities [41]. From this point of view, the workflow specification consists of an activity structure (control flow), exception handling, and activity duration.…”

In recent years, the process orientation requirements engineering field has received significant interest. However, dealing with ordinary users within an enterprise for developing as-is business process is very complex because this requires skills, responsibility, knowledge, and expertise of business processes. This research answers the following questions: 1) how to systematically gather information regarding as-is business process requirements in an informal environment and by non-expert users? and 2) how can an enterprise refine the identified business process with a semantic process model? The primary purpose of this research is to develop a supporting framework that is suitable for the definition of an as-is business process to be deployed within the enterprise environment. Hence, the focus is on gathering requirements to define the as-is business process. This framework concentrates on three significant aspects of this process: development, refinement, and serialization the semantics of the process model. To accomplish this objective, the LORS framework has been proposed, which consists of four phases (List, Order, Refinement, and Serialization). The framework presents a new unique technique to identify the business process, refine the process, and generate the model semantics. This study assumes that a simple and complete framework will help non-expert users define a high-quality as-is process, such that enhance and facilitate the matching process with existing reference models. We present a case study, evaluate the case study relative to specified criteria, and research the limitations and implications discovered from our research. This research concludes that the LORS framework is simple, flexible, visible, interactive, dynamic, and effective.

“…Lo anterior permite comprender que la gestión efectiva de los procesos de negocio requiere de flujos de información consistentes entre quienes participan en los procesos, la integración de los flujos de trabajo, el adecuado intercambio de datos e información durante las fases de planeación e implementación y el soporte de aspecto de apoyo del trabajo (Mentzas, Halaris & Kavadias, 2001). …”

“…The design of workflows requires develop specifications that describe an abstraction of the processes of the company. The workflow specification languages are used for this purpose to create workflow models that support the structure of the process activities (control flow) and the exchange of information (data flow) between such activities (Mentzas et al 2001). …”
