Modern business process management (BPM) is increasingly interesting for laboratory automation. End-to-end workflow automation and improved top-level systems integration for information technology (IT) and automation systems are especially prominent objectives. With the ISO Standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.X, a system-independent and interdisciplinary accepted graphical process control notation is provided, allowing process analysis, while also being executable. The transfer of BPM solutions to structured laboratory automation places novel demands, for example, concerning the real-time-critical process and systems integration. The article discusses the potential of laboratory execution systems (LESs) for an easier implementation of the business process management system (BPMS) in hierarchical laboratory automation. In particular, complex application scenarios, including long process chains based on, for example, several distributed automation islands and mobile laboratory robots for a material transport, are difficult to handle in BPMSs. The presented approach deals with the displacement of workflow control tasks into life science specialized LESs, the reduction of numerous different interfaces between BPMSs and subsystems, and the simplification of complex process modelings. Thus, the integration effort for complex laboratory workflows can be significantly reduced for strictly structured automation solutions. An example application, consisting of a mixture of manual and automated subprocesses, is demonstrated by the presented BPMS-LES approach.

Proses bisnis memiliki peran krusial untuk memastikan organisasi, termasuk universitas, mampu mencapai tujuannya. Institut Teknologi Kalimantan (ITK) sebagai universitas berkembang belum memiliki model proses bisnis atau Standar Operasional Prosedur (SOP). Hal ini menyebabkan tidak terstandarisasinya proses yang berjalan dan terjadinya deviasi untuk setiap proses yang terjadi di ITK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model proses bisnis akademik ITK dan untuk memastikan bahwa proses bisnis sesuai dengan standar yang berlaku, yaitu Standar Nasional Pendidikan Tinggi (SNPT) dan Badan Akreditasi Nasional Perguruan Tinggi (BAN-PT). Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini meliputi business process management, tahapannya meliputi process identification, process discovery, process analysis, dan process redesign. Setelah mengidentifikasi proses bisnis pada bidang akademik, dilakukan pemodelan proses bisnis saat ini (as-is) menggunakan notasi Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). Dari hasil pemodelan tersebut kemudian dilakukan analisis kesesuaian untuk mengetahui proses bisnis yang belum sesuai dengan standar dan kelemahan yang terjadi ketika terus dijalankan. Berdasarkan analisis proses didapatkan 16 isu pada 13 proses bisnis yang tidak sesuai dengan standar beserta kelemahannya. Hasil analisis kemudian digunakan sebagai usulan rekomendasi dengan memodelkan proses bisnis yang akan datang (to-be) yang telah sesuai dengan standar, sehingga terdapat 5 proses baru, 3 diperbaiki, dan 1 dihapus. Model proses ini diverifikasi oleh Kepala Penjaminan Mutu ITK dan diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai referensi untuk pengembangan SOP akademik di ITK  Kata kunci: proses bisnis, business process management, pendidikan tinggi, BPMN

In the modern business scenario, organizations are vesting high efforts in managing process sustainability as part of their operations management practices. The global environmental concerns for the welfare of the society have facilitated this change. Research studies have reported Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as one of the prerequisites in developing and maintaining efficient business processes. The process sustainability related initiatives and various processes related regulatory compliances have created the need for sophisticated IT tools like BPM (Business Process Management) and BI (Business Intelligence) in organizations. Thus with the advancement of ICT, a strong desire to enhance the business process performance through BPM and BI applications is felt across organizations. However, there is scant research available on leveraging the advantages of these applications in sustainability development. Therefore, this paper aims to present a conceptual architecture framework using an integrated BPM and BI solution to develop an orientation among practitioners and academicians towards the inclusion of ICT in attaining a sustainable, energy efficient business operations or processes. The framework is based on the literature pertaining to the role of BPM and BI in process sustainability as well as from the inputs of practitioners involved in the field of BPM and BI.

Process model matching is a key activity in many business process management tasks. It is an activity that consists of detecting an alignment between process models by finding similar activities in two process models. This article proposes a method based on WordNet glosses to improve the effectiveness of process model matchers. The proposed method is composed of three steps. In the first step, all activities of the two BPs are extracted. Second, activity labels are expanded using word glosses and finally, similar activities are detected using the cosine similarity metric. Two experiments were conducted on well-known datasets to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. In the first one, an alignment is computed using the cosine similarity metric only and without a process of expansion. While, in the second experiment, the cosine similarity metric is applied to the expanded activities using glosses. The results of the experiments were promising and show that expanding activities using WordNet glosses improves the effectiveness of process model matchers.

Business Process Management (BPM) research resulted in a plethora of methods, techniques, and tools to support the design, enactment, management, and analysis of operational business processes. This survey aims to structure these results and provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in BPM. In BPM the concept of a process model is fundamental. Process models may be used to configure information systems, but may also be used to analyze, understand, and improve the processes they describe. Hence, the introduction of BPM technology has both managerial and technical ramifications and may enable significant productivity improvements, cost savings, and flow-time reductions. The practical relevance of BPM and rapid developments over the last decade justify a comprehensive survey.

Through the analysis of the execution and dispatching principle of the Petri net, the business process management mode based on Petri net is proposed. We merge the place node and the transition node, and reside the token in the node. The only token in process instances and the sub-token in parallel process are introduced, which can avoid conflicts caused by multi-tokens. The business process model for the drawings design and approval is established, and it is verified by the workflow modeling system.
