This paper presents a new approach to managing dynamic business process changes based on business process change patterns. We identify and categorize business process change patterns that occur recurrently in a dynamic business environment. Several issues regarding management of process versions are discussed, and a pattern-based version management method for handling process changes more flexibly is explained in detail. We propose a mechanism for abstract process execution with runtime encapsulation of a business process, which can maximize the flexibility of process execution using multiple process versions. In addition, we propose a concept of process promotion and demotion that can dynamically choose an actual version of the process at run-time. With our pattern-based process change management and versioning approach, it is expected that the flexibility and efficiency of BPM systems can be enhanced significantly.

Nowadays, for the competitive power of an enterprise, there are many attempts to implement information system that could support business innovation by business process re-engineering. However, there is no effort to standardize the core business processes of enterprise based on standards of data, documents. These facts make it difficult to introduce and implement enterprise information system designed by business processes of the higher level. Therefore, standardization of business process by analyzing the functionality and relationships among them are important and necessary. The results of our research are summarized as process-driven standardization (standardization of core business processes) and development of a repository. In process-driven standardization, we proposed the reference model by analyzing the business processes of the leading enterprises for core business processes. The reference model focuses on core business processes, such as sales management, procurement management, production management, logistics management, and customer support in manufacturing industry. We developed a knowledge-based system as a repository for a integrated management system of business process. And this repository was built up web-based system for the purpose of both reference and management.

This paper presents the core technology of Construction Business Process Automation to model and automate construction business processes. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and Automation (BPA) have been recognized as one of the important aspects in construction business management. However, BPR requires a lot of efforts to identify, document, implement, execute, maintain, and keep track thousands of business processes to deliver a project. Moreover, existing BPA technologies used in existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems do not lend themselves to effective scalability for construction business process management. Application of Workflow and Object Technologies would be quite effective in implementing a scalable enterprise application for construction community. This paper present the technologies and methodologies for automating construction business processes by addressing how: 1) Automated construction management tasks are developed as software components, 2) The process modeling is facilitated by dragging-and dropping task components in a network, 3) Raising business requests and instantiating corresponding process instances are delivered, and 4) Business process instances are executed by using workflow technology based on real-time simulation engine. This paper presents how the construction business process automation is achieved by using equipment reservation and cancellation processes simplified intentionally.

Various organizational factors effect successful implementation of IT enabled business transformation. Among them, the most critical success factor is deemed to overcoming change management problem. Lots of studies have been made on Implementation methodologies and business process formalizations to encourage organizational members to accept new business process changes. However, the logic or process redesign still depends on qualitative problem solving techniques mostly depending on basically human intuition such as brainstorming. cause-and-effect analysis. and so on. In this paper, we focused on developing analytic framework to design to-be business process structure. which can complement qualitative problem solving procedures. With effective use of IT as an enabler, we provide algorithmic framework applicable to designing various business process changes such as process automation, business process resequencing, and more radical process integration. The framework follows dynamic programming approach in the literature, which is based on the decision making paradigm of organizations to abstract business processes as quantitative decision models. As such, our research ran fill the gap of limited development of theory based analytic methodologies for business process design, by providing objective rationale to reach the consensus among the organizational members including senior management.

Recently, several attempts have been made to introduce the process concept to knowledge management (KM) or the knowledge concept to business process management (BPM) in order to combine the advantages of the two approaches. However, clear description about their interrelationship or a comprehensive framework to combine them has not been provided. This paper explores how KM and BPM can complement each other and proposes a framework to integrate the two paradigms. The concept of process knowledge proposed by this paper focuses on the importance of business processes as knowledge, which is overlooked by existing KM or BPM research efforts. The paper proposes a framework that combines and extends the functionalities of existing knowledge management systems (KMSs) and business process management systems (BPMSs) by identifying the functionalities required to manage process knowledge from the lifecycle perspective of both knowledge management and business process management. A prototype system is also presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed framework.

Considering our increasingly interconnected organizations heavily relying on business processes and the growing need for timely accurate knowledge to achieve greater agility in the enterprise, the idea of looking at business processes as a knowledge object is gaining momentum. Business process information is knowledge and should consequently be managed as a valuable organizational asset, particularly because organizations need to react in near real time to environmental changes and events. This paper provides an overview of the situation in this field arguing for a better definition of the intersections between knowledge and business process management. When business process is seen as knowledge, it should be managed as such. We assess and discuss some of the resulting benefits and considering the need for greater dynamic integration between the two domains, we look at ontologies as an interesting technical approach to bridging this gap showing an example for an ontology based sales order process.

R In today's competitive and global business management, Concern of an enterprise is to strengthen the core competency and improve it's internal business process. Therefore, Interest in BPM(Business Process Management) has grown rapidly. BPM is recognized as best solution to meet the needs of organizations that seek the cost down, integration of information, reducing of risk, improvement of productivity. In the past, the company have usually made huge investments in knowledge management systems which are based on repository keeping tacit knowledge. But this paper shows feasibility of implementation of business process-based knowledge management system that could link knowledge with business process. From an academic point of view, Although There could be several ways to build the business process-based KMS. In this paper, when BPM project and KMS project were started at the same time, the way of how to provide workers with task-related knowledge was discussed. As an case study, an estimate process of H company was analyzed and process modelling was carried out and conceptional architecture framework was depicted.

최근 건설기업은 글로벌 기업경쟁 환경과 수주경쟁 속에서 업무 효율성 증대를 위한 프로세스 경영체제에 대한 노력이 요구된다. 건설기업은 1990년 이후 프로세스 중심의 내 외부 업무구조를 개선하기 위하여 다양한 프로세스 경영기법이 도입되었으나, 그 효과는 일부 개선된 기능획득에 머물고 있다. 또한, 업무 프로세스의 효율성 향상을 위해 다양한 업무지윈 시스템들이 개발되었으나, 기능위주의 개별적 구축과 입 출력 정보 및 데이터 흐름에 초점을 둠으로써 업무프로세스 관리와 정보기술의 지원이 분리되는 업무-IT 분리현상(Business-IT divide)이 발생되었다. 본 연구는 업무-IT 분리현상의 개선 방법론으로서 BPM(Business Process Management)을 구현함으로서, 업무 프로세스를 기반으로 한 업무지원 시스템의 연계모델을 제안한다. 이를 통해 건설기업의 지속적인 프로세스 관리를 지원하며, 프로세스 수행시 요구되는 업무조건(참여주체, 업무정보, 업무지원 시스템의 기능)들을 연계함으로서 업무효율성 향상이 기대된다. 이를 위해 업무-IT분리현상으로 인해 건설기업의 업무 수행상 발생되는 문제점을 분석하여 연계모델의 개념과 아키텍처를 구성하였다. 연계모델의 구현을 위해 공정관리 업무의 전체 종 단간 업무프로세스를 분석하여 BPA(Business Process Architecture)를 작성하였으며, 각 업무 프로세스의 업무조건들을 상세분석하여, 건설기업의 주요 13개 업무지원 시스템의 주요기능과 연계하였다. 연계된 내용을 바탕으로 PDCA분석과 CRUD분석을 통해 업무 프로세스 기반 업무지윈 시스템 연계모델을 개발하였다.
