Towards a pivotal-based approach for business process alignment

Abstract

This article focuses on business process engineering, especially on alignment between business analysis and implementation. Through a business process management approach, different transformations interfere with process models in order to make them executable. To keep the consistency of process model from business model to IT model, we propose a pivotal metamodel-centric methodology. It aims at keeping or giving all requisite structural and semantic data needed to perform such transformations without loss of information. Through this we can ensure the alignment between business and IT. This article describes the concept of pivotal metamodel and proposes a methodology using such an approach. In addition, we present an example and the resulting benefits.

Application of Model Transformation for Optimized Building Energy Management

“…The MDE approach aims to separate the models based on company know-how and those related to software implementations in order to maintain the sustainability of the company know-how in spite of the changes of development environment [8]. To do this, it is necessary firstly to define Platform Independent Models (PIM), technically independent from execution platform and it enables the automatic generation of a set of Platform Specic Models (PSM) afterwards.…”

An Integrated Approach for Designing an Agricultural Process Guided by Sustainable Evaluation: Application to Olive‐Oil Production

“…At a strategic level, Enterprise Engineering (EE) supply models of enterprise. A system -typically an enterprise -can be seen from 4 main views: organizational, functional, resources, information (Ulmer 2011). The different models from the different levels take elements from the different points of view of the system.…”
