“…Some business practices point to ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) flexibility that the ERP systems allow the decisions and the data base from all parts of the organization be reflected on the planning and control systems of the rest of the organization [14]. This can be obtained through a vertical form with sets of preconfigured standard systems which allow adjusting to combine specific or partial requirements as it is proposed by CIMOSA [1].…”

Abstract. Managing the great complexity of enterprise system, due to entities numbers, decision and process varieties involved to be controlled results in a very hard task because deals with the integration of its operations and its information systems. Moreover, the enterprises find themselves in a constant changing process, reacting in a dynamic and competitive environment where their business processes are constantly altered. The transformation of business processes into models allows to analyze and redefine them. Through computing tools usage it is possible to minimize the cost and risks of an enterprise integration design. This article claims for the necessity of modeling the processes in order to define more precisely the enterprise business requirements and the adequate usage of the modeling methodologies. Following these patterns, the paper concerns the process modeling relative to the domain of demand forecasting as a practical example. The domain of demand forecasting was built based on a theoretical review. The resulting models considered as reference model are transformed into informafion systems and have the aim to introduce a generic solution and be start point of better practical forecasting. The proposal is to promote the adequacy of the information system to the real needs of an enterprise in order to enable it to obtain and accompany better results, minimizing design errors, time, money and effort. The enterprise processes modeling are obtained with the usage of CIMOSA language and to the support information system it was used the UML language.

Integrating business process simulation and information system simulation for performance prediction

et al. 2015

Business process (BP) designs and enterprise information system (IS) designs are often not well aligned. Missing alignment may result in performance problems at run-time, such as large process execution time or overloaded IS resources. The complex interrelations between BPs and ISs are not adequately understood and considered in development so far. Simulation is a promising approach to predict performance of both BP and IS designs. Based on prediction results, design alternatives can be compared and verified against requirements. Thus, BP and IS designs can be aligned to improve performance. In current simulation approaches, BP simulation and IS simulation are not adequately integrated. This results in limited prediction accuracy due to neglected interrelations between the BP and the IS in simulation. In this paper, we present the novel approach Integrated Business IT Impact Simulation (IntBIIS) to adequately reflect the mutual impact between BPs and ISs in simulation. Three types of mutual impact between BPs and ISs in terms of performance are specified. We discuss several solution alternatives to predict the impact of a BP on the performance of ISs and vice versa. It is argued that an integrated simulation of BPs and ISs is best suited to reflect their interrelations. We propose novel concepts for continuous modeling and inteCommunicated by Prof. Wil M.P. van der Aalst. grated simulation. IntBIIS is implemented by extending the Palladio tool chain with BP simulation concepts. In a reallife case study with a BP and IS from practice, we validate the feasibility of IntBIIS and discuss the practicability of the corresponding tool support.

“…Studies on innovation suggest that organizations tend to achieve better resource management, improved quality, creativity, performance, strategic planning, cost and time reductions, and administrative controls, resulting in longer survival of organizations [11,[45][46][47][48][49]. Though innovation is quite complex and hard to achieve for every organization, studies show that organizations are looking towards IT to achieve process innovation and process reengineering to get the greater value [10,50]. Process innovation is consequently linked with process reengineering because process innovation is creating a new way of handling a process and process reengineering is about achieving that new process innovation.…”

Business process management (BPM), business process reengineering (BPR), and business process innovation (BPI) have been the primary strategies adopted by several organizations to manage their business successfully along with IT. In the last few years, the concept of BPM, BPR, and BPI has been a hot topic among the IS community, which is evident in the degree of literatures devoted to it. Due to the dynamic nature of this research area, this paper aims to add knowledge to the existing ones by answering (1) what is the current level of development on BPM, BPR, and BPI within AIS basket of top journals and Science Direct database? and (2) what are the potential future research directions on BPM, BPR, and BPI?. A total of 55 articles from the AIS basket of top journals and 61 articles from the Science Direct database are analyzed based on the year of publications, AIS geographical regions, approaches adopted by the author/s, components of BPM areas and industrial application covered, and potential future research directions are discussed.
