A system simulation is a one of the approaches to understand business processes or to explain them to other people. It is an excellent decision making solution to provide data-driven conclusions based on system modelling and experiments. This paper proposes simulation results of a school canteen. The aim of the research was to investigate the relation between a food waste amount and meal time duration. The proposed simulation was based on business process analysis, business process modelling, a Monte Carlo method and expert knowledge. The frequency distributions were constructed based on children meal duration observation completed by their mothers. It is a magnificent citizen science solution to involve mothers in the research because they can additionally better understand their children meal preferences and habits. Therefore, a questionnaire for citizens was developed, which can be applied to collect statistical data for model accuracy improvement and extension.

Design of Decision Service Using Cause-and-Effect Business Process AnalysisBusiness processes are executed according to a specific business logic that can be formulated as business rules. Often decisions are taken during the course of the process to fulfill conditions or exceptions leading to process variations. These decisions are meant to support business process operations and are composed of a set of business rules, additionally being based on a solid process relevant knowledge and know-how. These processes are here referred to as decision knowledge intensive processes. In this paper the question of how business rules and consequently operational decisions can be derived from the business process model is addressed. The therefore necessary business process analysis and decision identification are performed using the cause-and-effect approach. Service-oriented implementation of the found decisions is suggested and outlined.

AbstractIn recent years, process mining has emerged as the leading big data technology for business process analysis. By extracting knowledge from event logs in information systems, process mining provides unprecedented transparency of business processes while being independent of the source system. However, despite its practical relevance, there is still a limited understanding of how organizations act upon the pervasive transparency created by process mining and how they leverage it to benefit from increased process awareness. Addressing this gap, this study conducts a multiple case study to explore how four organizations achieved increased process awareness by using process mining. Drawing on data from 24 semi-structured interviews and archival sources, this study reveals seven sociotechnical mechanisms based on process mining that enable organizations to create either standardized or shared awareness of sub-processes, end-to-end processes, and the firm’s process landscape. Thereby, this study contributes to research on business process management by revealing how process mining facilitates mechanisms that serve as a new, data-driven way of creating process awareness. In addition, the findings indicate that these mechanisms are influenced by the governance approach chosen to conduct process mining, i.e., a top-down or bottom-up driven implementation approach. Last, this study also points to the importance of balancing the social complications of increased process transparency and awareness. These results serve as a valuable starting point for practitioners to reflect on measures to increase organizational process awareness through process mining.

The target indicators for the success of training conducted by the XYZ institution in 2018 are achieved in un-ideal conditions. The target of the average Competency Gap Index (CGI) value is achieved by reducing the measurement parameters of the work competency standard (SKK). This condition is a fact that the success of the training in the XYZ institution still lacks in its achievements. Based on the explanation of the problem, this study will apply the concept of Business Process Management (BPM) to conduct an analysis of the business process of conducting training in the XYZ institution to identify the possible problems that occur in the business process. This study aims to analyze and modeling the current business process of training program (as-is). The research methodology uses literature studies and data collection from interviews, observations, and supporting documents. The results of this study are proposed business processes (to-be) which are recommendations for improvement in current business processes (as-is). The business process is modeled used the standard modeling of Business Process and Notation (BPMN) version 2.0.

Ambidextrous BPM has gained increasing interest from researchers and practitioners in the last years. It refers to the ability to use exploitative and explorative capabilities in BPM projects. In this paper, we investigate how the integration of exploitative and explorative ideas can leverage the analysis of business processes. The key contributions of this paper are a conceptual model and a method that integrate ambidextrous thinking in a complementary way. Both artefacts were evaluated by means of an expert opinion survey. We also present a case study at an organisation that has implemented our proposed method. We believe that ambidextrous analysis of business processes enables organisations tackling current operational bottlenecks while simultaneously exploring external opportunities for designing innovation in business processes.

The research offers and describes the use of clustering filters in order to exclude preliminarily the instances of the process, which contain errors, and which are not related directly with the business process, and, accordingly, are irrelevant for the analysis. Comparison of 15 types of filters was performed using mapped-out data. It was shown that successful preliminary filtering is possible before the application of reinforcement learning for business process analysis, which reduces the data processing amount.

PT. Pos Indonesia has a postal payment service (postpay) or System Online Payment Point (SOPP). Postpay services that are already running must be continuously improved so that they can develop properly. This makes it important to analyze the business processes that run on the postpay service at PT. Pos Indonesia Malang City Area so that later it can be known and identified opportunities for better business process improvement. The purpose of this study is to analyze the business processes that run on payment services (postpay) and identify opportunities to improve the payment service business process (postpay) at PT. Pos Indonesia Malang City. Based on the analysis of ongoing business processes, it was found that the payment service business process (postpay) of PT. Pos Indonesia in the Malang City area has been running according to existing procedures but has limitations on the queuing system, namely customers who will send goods and postpay payments still use a one-way queue. From these weaknesses and limitations, a business process with a two-lane queuing system was proposed, but it could also run flexibly with the previous one-line queuing system. The proposed two-lane queuing system, it can save time and increase the number of customers that can be served by PT. Pos Indonesia in Malang City area.

Work Flow Management

Business-process management (BPM) is nowadays a key technology for the automation and support of processes in medium-sized and large organizations. This technology has been successfully applied to business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce since the ’90s, and it is now being applied also in e-government for the management of administrative procedures. As stated in Aalst, Hofstede, and Weske (2003), the origins of BPM technologies can be found in the ’70s with the research on office information systems. Research in this area was almost stopped in the ’80s, but it rose again in the ’90s under the name of work-flow management. Now it is evolving with a more integral approach and a new name: BPM. It is defined in Aalst, Hofstede, and Weske (2003, p. 4) as “supporting business processes using methods, techniques, and software to design, enact, control, and analyze operational processes involving humans, organizations, applications, documents and other sources of information.” The main functionalities provided by a BPM system are defining business processes, automatically enacting them, controlling their enactment, and analyzing them. This article is focused on the last functionality: business-process analysis (BPA). BPA can be defined as a set of technologies that provide support for obtaining relevant properties of business-process models in order to reason about them, detect functional errors, or improve their performance. BPA was a neglected area in the work-flow management systems developed in the ’90s. Will van der Aalst (1998) was one of the first researchers in this field. He proposed the use of petri nets for modeling business processes and the application of the analysis theory developed for this formalism to demonstrate the correctness of the developed processes, analyze performance, and so forth. Since then, other approaches, based on formal methods, were proposed. BPA is important for BPM because it provides the technology for improving the reliability and efficiency of the business process of organizations. Reliability considerably reduces expenses caused by errors in transactions. Efficiency reduces expenses caused by an inefficient use of resources and can improve the satisfaction of customers. The next section provides a background on the most important analysis technologies: functional verification and performance measuring. Then, the discussion is focused on functional verification. An overview on how different authors applied functional verification to business processes is presented. Then these works are analyzed and an open, modular, and extensible architecture for the functional verification of business processes is presented. Later, the future trends on this topic are outlined. Finally, the conclusion highlights the main concepts introduced in this article.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a framework for integrating business processes and supporting IT infrastructure as secure, standardized components-services-that can be reused and combined to address changing business priorities. Services are the building blocks of SOA and new applications can be constructed through consuming these services and orchestrating services within a business process. In SOA, services map to the business functions that are identified during business process analysis. Upon a successful implementation of SOA, the enterprise gain benefit by reducing development time, utilizing flexible and responsive application structure, and following dynamic connectivity of application logics between business partners. This paper presents SOA reference architecture blueprint as the building blocks of SOA which is services, service components and flows that together support enterprise business processes and the business goals.Keywords: Service Oriented Architecture, SOA Reference Architecture
