In this paper, we explore system dynamics as a useful approach to consolidate findings from case studies on business process change (BPC) projects. We compile data from 65 BPC case studies to develop a system dynamics simulation model that helps us to investigate ‘employee morale’ as an important construct in BPC projects. We show that such simulation models consolidate the complex and often non-linear findings from BPC case studies in a way that makes it available to discourse among researchers, lecturers and students as well as BPC professionals. Thus, this paper contributes to knowledge management and learning by suggesting system dynamics as a valuable approach to illustrate and convey the complex relationships between important constructs in BPC. This paper also contributes to the domain of business process management by demonstrating the benefits of system dynamics as a way to review and consolidate the abundance of BPC case studies.

Information system implementation helps to promote efficiency of the workshops and enterprises’ competitiveness. It requires holistic analyses and investigation in the manufacturing workshops to ensure its success. This research proposes a framework to guide information systems implementation in discrete manufacturing workshops. In the framework, multi-agent simulation models are built to analyze the business processes in the workshops and some techniques from Business Process Management (BPM) are applied to modify or change the processes. The effectiveness of the framework is proved by its application in a discrete manufacturing workshop.
