“…This promotes the perception of what represents, effectively, value for customers, and allows for a major cross-sectional synchronization of the processes [41]. The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a "graphical notation for modeling business processes as collections of related tasks that produce specific services or products" [42]. This language offers a wide range of symbols that allows for easy comprehension by the public, becoming very useful [43].…”

Background: With the increasing societal focus on sustainability and the critical need for innovative energy solutions, this research emphasizes the undervalued biomass originating from waste products of agroforestry activities. The traditional practice of disposing of these waste products through open-air burning has led to environmental challenges and a tragic loss of their inherent energy potential. Methods: This study adopts a multifaceted approach, integrating literature reviews, expert interviews from both the academic and professional sectors, and surveys. The central focus is on understanding supply chain inefficiencies and communication gaps that contribute to waste and addressing them through the Lean philosophy, renowned for its waste reduction benefits. Results: Our research culminated in the development of a unique information management model based on a web application. Additionally, the study provides a theoretical groundwork for an application that backs the proposed model. Conclusions: The presented strategy and web-based model offer promising avenues for managing waste products from agroforestry activities more sustainably and efficiently. This approach not only addresses the environmental issues arising from waste disposal but also taps into the significant energy potential these waste products hold.

“…In that work, optimal allocation is presented as a multi-objective optimisation problem, where response time and resource usage are minimised. [11] proposes an automatic analysis technique to evaluate and compare the execution time and resource occupancy of a business process relative to a workload and a provisioning strategy. Four different strategies were implemented and compared from an experimental perspective.…”

Business process optimisation is a strategic activity in organisations because of its potential to increase profit margins and reduce operational costs. One of the main challenges in this context is concerned with the problem of optimising the allocation and sharing of resources. In this work, processes are described using the BPMN notation extended with an explicit description of execution time and resources associated with tasks, and can be concurrently executed multiple times. First, a simulation-based approach for computing certain metrics of interest, such as average execution time or resource usage, is presented. This approach applies off-line and is static in the sense that the number of resources does not evolve over the time of the simulation. In a second step, an alternative approach is presented, which works online, thus requiring the instrumentation of an existing platform for retrieving information of interest during the processes' execution. This second approach is dynamic because the number of resource replicas is updated over the time of the execution. This paper aims at stressing pros and cons of both approaches, and at showing how they complement each other.

“…Another solution to this problem is resource optimisation, see e.g. [6,8], but this solution usually implies some flexibility in terms of budget because the solution may propose to increase the number of certain resources so as to obtain better results. If the number of resources is fixed and cannot be updated, an alternative solution is to change the organisation of the tasks within the process.…”
