Download or read book The Practice of Enterprise Modeling written by Anne Persson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enterprise modeling (EM) has gained substantial popularity both in the academic community and among practitioners. A variety of EM methods, approaches, and tools are being developed and offered on the market. In practice they are used for various purposes such as business strategy development, process restructuring, as well as business and IT architecture alignment and governance. PoEM 2009 – the second IFIP WG 8.1 Working Conference on The Practice of Enterprise Modeling took place in November in Stockholm, Sweden. The conference series is a dedicated forum where the use of EM in practice is addressed by bringing together researchers, users, and practitioners in order to develop a better understanding of the practice of EM, to contribute to improved EM practice as well as to share knowledge and experiences. PoEM 2009 attracted 41 submissions from many different parts of the world, out of which the Program Committee selected 17 high-quality papers. Among the authors of these papers we find both researchers and practitioners. The resulting program reflects the fact that the topic of EM encompasses human, organizational issues, as well as more technical aspects related to the development of information systems. The program was organized in six thematic sessions: ? Experiences in EM ? The process of modeling ? EM in information systems development ? Model quality and reuse ? EM for Services modeling ? New ventures in EM The program also featured two keynotes by experienced EM practitioners. Håvard D.

Download or read book Subject Oriented Business Process Management written by Albert Fleischmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activities performed in organizations are coordinated via communication between the people involved. The sentences used to communicate are naturally structured by subject, verb, and object. The subject describes the actor, the verb the action and the object what is affected by the action. Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM) as presented in this book is based on this simple structure which enables process-oriented thinking and process modeling. S-BPM puts the subject of a process at the center of attention and thus deals with business processes and their organizational environment from a new perspective, meeting organizational requirements in a much better way than traditional approaches. Subjects represent agents of an action in a process, which can be either technical or human (e.g. a thread in an IT system or a clerk). A process structures the actions of each subject and coordinates the required communication among the subjects. S-BPM provides a coherent procedural framework to model and analyze business processes: its focus is the cooperation of all stakeholders involved in the strategic, tactical, and operational issues, sharing their knowledge in a networked structure. The authors illustrate how each modeling activity through the whole development lifecycle can be supported through the use of appropriate software tools. The presentation style focuses on professionals in industry, and on students specializing in process management or organizational modeling. Each chapter begins with a summary of key findings and is full of examples, hints, and possible pitfalls. An interpreter model, a toolbox, and a glossary summarizing the main terms complete the book. The web site www.i2pm.net provides additional software tools and further material.

Download or read book Process Modelling and Model Analysis written by Ian T. Cameron and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-23 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process Modelling and Model Analysis describes the use of models in process engineering. Process engineering is all about manufacturing--of just about anything! To manage processing and manufacturing systematically, the engineer has to bring together many different techniques and analyses of the interaction between various aspects of the process. For example, process engineers would apply models to perform feasibility analyses of novel process designs, assess environmental impact, and detect potential hazards or accidents. To manage complex systems and enable process design, the behavior of systems is reduced to simple mathematical forms. This book provides a systematic approach to the mathematical development of process models and explains how to analyze those models. Additionally, there is a comprehensive bibliography for further reading, a question and answer section, and an accompanying Web site developed by the authors with additional data and exercises. Introduces a structured modeling methodology emphasizing the importance of the modeling goal and including key steps such as model verification, calibration, and validation Focuses on novel and advanced modeling techniques such as discrete, hybrid, hierarchical, and empirical modeling Illustrates the notions, tools, and techniques of process modeling with examples and advances applications

Download or read book Quality Management and Accounting in Service Industries written by Wojciech Sadkowski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of globalisation in world markets, and the growing number of enterprises competing with one another in terms of the products and services they offer, naturally leads to the improved efficiency of management systems. Efficiency is required in order for these entities to maintain competitiveness. To assess the efficiency of their management systems, enterprises use quality cost calculation. This book fills the research gap concerned with the scientific study of the quality cost calculation, with regard to service companies. It offers the authors' concept of using the cost of quality calculation as a tool for assessing the efficiency of the management systems of service companies. The book consists of six chapters that present both a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, the following issues are discussed: quality costs; the evolution of quality cost calculation; quality cost calculation models and their applications to date; and the specific way in which service companies operate. The practical part presents the authors' model of quality cost calculation along with the adopted assumptions and cost structure, as well as the research methodology and verification of the use of the developed model in a selected service company. The research gives credence to the role and importance of this tool in economic practice. The book will be desired reading by both theoreticians and practitioners of quality management and accounting. It is also a valuable resource for master’s and doctoral students wishing to broaden their knowledge of quality costs and their calculation in the fields of economics and management.
