Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Campus02 Fachhochschule der Wirtschaft Graz, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Prozessoptimierung durch Business Process Reengineering und Workflow-Management-Systeme. Dabei werden zuerst die Grundlagen für Prozessmanagement erklärt. Mit diesem Wissen wird anschließend auf das eigentliche Business Process Reengineering eingegangen, welches den größten und wichtigsten Teil dieser Arbeit darstellt. Anschließend wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern diese Prozesse mithilfe Workflow-Management-Systeme unterstützt werden können. Am Ende wird eine einheitliche Vorgehensweise für Prozesse, welche mithilfe Business Process Reengineering optimiert und durch ein Workflow-Management-System unterstützt werden, geschaffen. Im Praxisteil wird dabei ein reales Fallbeispiel in der XAL GmbH, anhand dieses Vorgehensmodells, bearbeitet.

Process Management is a comprehensive compendium for the contemporary design of process-oriented organizations. It presents a proven methodology for the introduction and sustainable management of business processes. This book discusses each phase of a business process lifecycle model in the light of current research. A continuous case study provides interesting insights into the actual experiences with this lifecycle model and adds to the credibility of the presented contents. This also includes recommendations which are summarized in pragmatic checklists for each stage of the project. This book is of relevance for business analysts, business process managers, consultants, and all practitioners dealing with the analysis and re-design of business processes. It is also a valuable resource for lecturers and students in the disciplines of Business, Information Systems and Engineering.

The motivation behind the conception of this monograph was to advance scientific knowledge about the design and control of workflow processes. A workflow pr- ess (or workflow for short) is a specific type of business process, a way of or- nizing work and resources. Workflows are commonly found within large admin- trative organizations such as banks, insurance companies, and governmental agencies. Carrying out the tasks of a workflow in a particular order is required to handle one type of case. Examples of cases are mortgage applications, customer complaints, and claims for unemployment benefits. A workflow used in handling mortgage applications may contain tasks for recording the application, specifying a mortgage proposal, and approving the final policy. The monograph concentrates on four workflow-related issues within the area of Business Process Management; the field of designing and controlling business processes. The first issue is how workflows can be adequately modeled. Workflow mod- ing is an indispensable activity to support any reasoning about workflows. Diff- ent purposes of workflow modeling can be distinguished, such as system ena- ment by Workflow Management Systems, knowledge management, costing, and budgeting. The focus of workflow modeling in this monograph is (a) to support simulation and analysis of workflows and (b) to specify a new workflow design. The main formalism used for the modeling of workflows is the Petri net. Many - isting notions to define several relevant properties have been adopted, such as the workflow net and the soundness notion.

Business-Process- und Workflow-Management, oder wie erreicht man eine Prozessverbesserung durch Prozessmanagement im Unternehmen ist ein topaktuelles Thema. Viele reden davon, Organisationen in Prozessorganisationen umzuwandeln, oder den Prozessgedanken in den Vordergrund der Organisation zu rücken, nicht nur um den aktuellen ISO-Normen zu genügen, sondern auch Effizienzverbesserungen zu erzielen. Dieses Buch leistet einen Beitrag dazu, das Prozessdenken in der Wirtschaftswelt zu verbreiten und zu verstärken, um Abläufe klarer, realitätsnah und verständlich darzustellen, zu verbessern und umzusetzen.

​Business process reengineering (BPR) focuses on redesigning the strategic and value-added processes which transcend the organizational boundaries. It is a cross-functional approach that requires support from almost all the departments of the organization. Business Process Reengineering: Automation Decision Points in Process Reengineering offers a new framework based process reengineering and links it to organization life cycle, process life cycle, and process management. This volume describes the fundamental concepts behind business process reengineering and examines them through case studies, and should appeal to researchers and academics interested in business process reengineering, operations strategy, and organizational restructuring and design.
