Process Management

Business Process
four perspectives: deterministic machines; complex dynamic systems; interacting feedback
loops; social constructs.
across functions within a firm - across firms in a supply chain

Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)


use the power of modern information technology to radically redesign our business
processes in order to achieve dramatic improvements in their performance. (Hammer
1990)

Business Process Modeling (BPM)


the techniques for charactering and analyzing business processes

Business Process Management (BPM)


support 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. ( Aalst, Hofstede, Weske 2003)

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)


delegate one or more information technology (IT)-intensive business processes to an
external provider that, in turn, owns, administers and manages the processes based on
defined and measurable performance metrics. (Gartner)

Behavioral, when and how;
Organizational, where and by whom, what physical communication mechanisms and
storage;
Informational, entities flowing through the process, their structure and relationships.

Process Management
Summary

Process Management is hot word in practices, but few academic


publications. Most articles describe how to implement BPR/BPM.
Existing process models of spare parts management map internal
processes and are rough.
Processes may be interrupted by diefferent systems. Information
are delayed and /or missed.

Problem:

Unique or common processes across companies and industries?


Customized or standard IT- Enabler?
How can the standards help process management in spare parts
management?
