    A Critical Evaluation and Framework of Business Process Improvement Methods
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 58, No. 1, 2016) Vanwersch, Rob J. B.; Shahzad, Khurram; Vanderfeesten, Irene; Vanhaecht, Kris; Grefen, Paul; Pintelon, Liliane; Mendling, Jan; Merode, Godefridus G.; Reijers, Hajo A.
    The redesign of business processes has a huge potential in terms of reducing costs and throughput times, as well as improving customer satisfaction. Despite rapid developments in the business process management discipline during the last decade, a comprehensive overview of the options to methodologically support a team to move from as-is process insights to to-be process alternatives is lacking. As such, no safeguard exists that a systematic exploration of the full range of redesign possibilities takes place by practitioners. Consequently, many attractive redesign possibilities remain unidentified and the improvement potential of redesign initiatives is not fulfilled. This systematic literature review establishes a comprehensive methodological framework, which serves as a catalog for process improvement use cases. The framework contains an overview of all the method options regarding the generation of process improvement ideas. This is established by identifying six key methodological decision areas, e.g. the human actors who can be invited to generate these ideas or the information that can be collected prior to this act. This framework enables practitioners to compose a well-considered method to generate process improvement ideas themselves. Based on a critical evaluation of the framework, the authors also offer recommendations that support academic researchers in grounding and improving methods for generating process improvement ideas. Next to the framework and its critical evaluation, this review investigates the research procedures of the studies that were used to create the framework. Related to this investigation, academic researchers can find additional guidance regarding procedures for building and evaluating new methods.

    Access control for monitoring system-spanning business processes in proviado
    (Enterprise modelling and information systems architectures, 2009) Bassil, Sarita; Reichert, Manfred; Bobrik, Ralph; Bauer, Thomas
    Integrated process support is highly desirable in environments where data related to a particular (business) process are scattered over distributed, heterogeneous information systems (IS). A process monitoring component is a much-needed module in order to provide an integrated view on all these process data. Regarding process data integration, access control (AC) issues are very important but also quite complex to be addressed. A major problem arises from the fact that the involved IS are usually based on heterogeneous AC components. For several reasons, the only feasible way to tackle the problem of AC at the process monitoring level is to define access rights for the process monitoring component, hence getting rid of the burden to map access rights from the IS level. This paper discusses requirements for AC in process monitoring, which we derived from our case studies in the automotive domain. It then presents alternative approaches for AC: the view-based and the object-based approach. The latter is retained, and a core AC model is proposed for the definition of access rights that meet the derived requirements. AC mechanisms provided within the core model are key ingredients for the definition of model extensions.

    Advanced Reduction Rules for the Verification of EPC Business Process Models
    (SIGSAND-EUROPE 2008: Proceedings of the Third AIS SIGSAND European Symposium on Analysis, Design, Use and Societal Impact of Information Systems, 2008) Mendling, Jan; Aalst, Wil van der
    Conceptual business process models such as Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs) play an important role in the business process management life cycle. The pro- blem in this context is that most of today’s commercial business process management tools provide only limited support for quality assurance beyond simple syntax checks. In this paper we focus on verification of behavioral correctness as one of the major qua- lity issues for process models. To be more concise, we introduce advanced reduction rules for EPCs in order to address the requirements of performance and identificati- on of errors in practice. We present the verification tool xoEPC that implements the reduction rules. It provides detailed feedback to the modeler where errors are located in the model, and generates a report on quality issues in a process model collection. We present the application of xoEPC to the analysis of the SAP reference model to illustrate the tool.

    Application landscape metrics: overview, classification, and practical usage
    (Enterprise modelling and information systems architectures, 2009) Addicks, Jan Stefan; Gringel, Philipp
    Due to mergers and acquisitions as well as uncoordinated projects, application landscapes of today's organizations contain redundant applications (two or more applications that have similar functionality). To consolidate the application landscape, comparisons of applications have to be performed. Application landscape metrics are seen as an appropriate instrument for such comparisons. This contribution describes a method as well as a template to classify landscape metrics. In presenting a tool prototype, we provide a first glance of how to practically employ application landscape metrics.
