Systemic Approach Towards Enterprise Functional Decomposition

Abstract

-Functional decomposition is the primary component of enterprise activities description and is often associated with business process architecture. It guides any business improvement initiative, enables to design the enterprise construction -organizational structure, IT-and HR-architectures, etc, as well as to deploy goals and strategies. The paper suggests the framework for enterprise functional decomposition, which includes the ontology for enterprise activities description, foundations and the process of functional decomposition. The suggested framework integrates the following features: alignment with goals decomposition; support for reference models and other reusable activities descriptions; recursive decomposition using a single activities pattern; value-based management and ISO 9004:2009 harmonization. The paper also describes framework implementation at Russian enterprises and IT tool to support the approach.

Business process architecture design methodologies – a literature review

“…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.…”

Non-diagrammatic Method and Multi-representation Tool for Integrated Enterprise Architecture and Business Process Engineering

“…6 represents a fragment of enterprise model, which exposes process integration into business architecture (links with IT architecture are omitted in the example). Enterprise functional decomposition [28] is modeled using a chain of classifications and matrices. Functional processes are structured in the corresponding classification and compose functional systems through the matrix (see Fig.…”
