The Challenge of Reaching Higher Process Orientation : A Case Study of a German Organization Operating in the Automotive Industry

Buck, Jannik January 2018 (has links)
Business Process Management (BPM) has become a popular concept inbusiness development in recent years. Traditionally, however, researchsurrounding BPM initiatives have centered on large organizations,meaning that little is known about the effects of BPM, both positive andnegative, on a Small- and Medium sized Organization (SMO).This research identifies problems that a SMO can face when workingtoward higher process orientation and provides an explanation as to whyefforts have failed in the past. Furthermore, the requirements forimplementing BPM from a process-execution perspective wereinvestigated. The issues that arise to limit success of the BPM initiativehave been identified and discussed in relation to existing literature onBPM implementation, particularly those issues that are unique to SMOs.Through better understanding of the requirements for a successful BPMinitiative, the SMO is able to identify the areas that it need to beaddressed specifically before the organization is able to reach higherprocess orientation.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 649066 bytes, checksum: 187dc1da708b32a3fc316a6f13a42e47 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-07-31 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / According to the constant organizations evolution in a dynamic and competitive market, it s evident the usage of tools to evaluate their recently actions and movements, such as to point out future positions. The usage of inherent performance index for each productive sector it s an efficient evaluation tool. However, it s not enough having a good system of evaluate performances with welldefined index, it s necessary a knowledge about all the procedures that happen inside the organization, looking after for a strategic management starting from the data given by the implemented performance evaluating system. When we talk about logistic the knowledge of all the procedures, the evaluating of the performance and consequently the strategic management as a result of this process, must be settled. This work searches to know the conduction of the logistical process in a distribution center (DC) from Joao Pessoa PB, focusing the performance index. To do this, we discussed the knowledge level that the DC s managers have with regards to the conception of the logistic and procedure management, identified the controlling tools followed by the procedure management and their own actions of strategic administration searching an improvement of the direction in these processes. The results show how important it is to an organization to have it and put under practice, potencializing an evaluating process system that shows all data which can be used in a practical and schemed way to reflect good results in the organization. / Com a constante evolução das organizações em um mercado dinâmico e competitivo, torna-se evidente a utilização de mecanismos para mensurar suas operações, bem como indicar posicionamentos futuros. A utilização de indicadores de desempenho inerentes a cada setor produtivo é uma forma eficaz de mensuração. Contudo um bom sistema de mensuração de desempenhos com indicadores bem definidos, não é suficiente. Torna-se necessário o conhecimento dos gestores sobre todos os processos que ocorrem na organização, visando um gerenciamento estratégico a partir dos dados fornecidos pelo sistema de mensuração de desempenho implementado. Quando se trata de logística, o conhecimento de todos os processos, a mensuração de desempenho e conseqüentemente o gerenciamento estratégico decorrente disto, tem que estar em sintonia plena. Este trabalho busca conhecer aspectos ligados à gestão dos processos logísticos em um centro de distribuição de João Pessoa-PB, enfocando os indicadores de desempenho, considerados pertinentes ao setor. Trata-se de um estudo de caso único, exploratório-descritivo, aplicado com base em modelo conceitual adaptado de Rey (1998). Para captação e análise de dados foi elaborado um esquema geral de pesquisa estruturado a partir dos elementos teóricos conceituais. Por meio da investigação foi constatado que o nível de conhecimento que os gestores do CD pesquisado possuem em relação aos conceitos de logística e gestão de processos é suficiente para garantir as operações do CD, mas a aplicação dos conceitos não se dá de forma otimizada. Identificamos as ferramentas gerenciais adotadas na gestão dos processos logísticos e consideramos que são utilizados mais para o acompanhamento cotidiano que para auxiliar no gerenciamento estratégico do CD. Por fim buscamos apontar indicadores de desempenho pertinentes ao setor de distribuição e respectivas ações de gerenciamento estratégico para uma melhoria da gestão desses processos. Os resultados da pesquisa nos mostram também o quanto é importante para uma organização praticarações ligadas ao sistema de medição de desempenho coerentemente. Por meio de gerenciamento dos processos logísticos, de forma sistêmica, a medição de desempenho pode refletir resultados importantes para a organização.

Solução baseada em gerenciamento de processos de negócios para circuitos virtuais inter-domínio / Solution based on business process management for inter-domain virtual circuits

Santanna, José Jair Cardoso de January 2012 (has links)
O estabelecimento de Circuitos Virtuais (CVs) é uma solução bastante utilizada para garantir requisitos de qualidade de serviço para aplicações que trafegam na rede (e.g., transmissão de altas taxas de dados com baixa latência). Anteriormente, esses CVs eram estabelecidos manualmente a partir da troca de mensagens (via email e telefone) entre administradores de redes. O processo de troca de mensagens terminava com a configuração dos dispositivos e poderia durar semanas para ser concluído. Atualmente, middlewares de rede têm sido utilizados para automatizar o processo fim-a-fim do estabelecimento dos CVs. Esses middlewares utilizam regras pré-definidas, chamadas de políticas, para automatizar todo o processo. Apesar dessas soluções atuais terem diminuído o tempo de estabelecimento de CVs para minutos, elas retiraram o humano do processo de autorização e gerenciamento dos recursos de redes. Essa ausência do humano passa a ser um problema em casos que políticas pré-definidas não conseguem gerenciar CVs, principalmente em casos de CVs que perpassam diversos domínios, chamados de inter-domínios. Então, esta dissertação provê uma solução que possibilita a re-inclusão do humano no processo de autorização através de uma abordagem que também seja capaz de manter o gerenciamento realizado através de políticas. Essa abordagem é chamada de gerenciamento de processos de negócios (Business Process Management - BPM). Resultados obtidos a partir de experimentos realizados no backbone da Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa Brasileira (RNP) demonstraram que a solução proposta com BPM consegue disponibilizar o gerenciamento de CVs através de humanos e políticas. Adicionalmente, o protótipo desenvolvido para a obtenção dos resultados foi melhor do que as soluções atuais existentes em relação ao tempo de estabelecimento e a flexibilidade de gerenciamento dos CVs. / Establishing Virtual Circuits (VCs) is a widely used solution for ensuring quality of service requirements for applications that are carried over the network (e.g., transmissions that demand high data rates and low latency). Previously, these VCs used to be manually set via messages exchanged among network administrators, using email or telephone. This message exchanged process resulted in the configuration of the devices that could take weeks to complete. Currently, network middlewares have been used to automate the process of end-to-end establishment of CVs. These middlewares use pre-defined rules, called policies, to automate the entire process. Despite these current solutions have decreased the time for establishing VCs to the order of minutes, they removed the human process of authorization and management of network resources. This absence of the human interaction becomes a problem in cases where pre-defined policies can not manage VCs, especially when VCs cross multiple domains (inter-domain). This dissertation provides a solution which enables the human re-inclusion in the establishment process using an approach that is also capable of keeping the management policies. This approach is called Business Process Management (BPM). Results obtained from experiments on the backbone of the National Network of Brazilian Education and Research (RNP) demonstrated that the proposed solution can provide management of VCs considering both human interaction and management polices. Additionally, the prototype developed for obtaining the results performed better than current solutions in terms of the time used for establishment and management flexibility of VCs.

Identificando fontes de dados em modelos de processos de negócios com base em elementos de BPMN

Balbinot, Marcelo January 2017 (has links)
A Notação e Modelo de Processo de Negócio (BPMN - Business Process Model and Notation) possibilita apresentar informações sobre o fluxo de dados de um processo por meio de dados e artefatos, tais como objetos, associações e repositórios de dados. No entanto, esses elementos apresentam poder de expressão limitado, principalmente quando se referem ao mapeamento das fontes de dados (ex.: serviço web) em um modelo de processo. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho propõe uma abordagem para associar fontes de dados a elementos de BPMN (ex.: tarefa de serviço). Tal abordagem deve servir como um ponto de partida para profissionais de gerenciamento de processos de negócio quanto ao mapeamento, na etapa de modelagem, da fonte de dados que está sendo utilizada pelo processo, através da utilização de elementos de BPMN. Visando demonstrar os resultados, foram evidenciadas cinco correlações, que são chamadas de “propostas de definições”, seguidas por sua descrição textual e um exemplo de uso. Essas propostas de definições, juntamente com as fontes de dados utilizadas, foram avaliadas por meio de uma pesquisa de opinião. Como resultado, destaca-se que as fontes de dados selecionadas foram validadas pelos participantes da pesquisa de opinião, que demonstraram conhecimento em ao menos uma das fontes de dados, fornecendo indícios que as fontes de dados selecionadas são as mais apropriadas para o trabalho em questão. Ainda, como resultados, as propostas de definições foram validadas com os participantes, obtendo resultados positivos quanto aos fragmentos de processo elaborados para representar as fontes de dados internos, transferência de arquivos e base de dados compartilhada. A principal contribuição deste trabalho é auxiliar na identificação de fontes de dados de um processo de negócio, a partir do conjunto de elementos disponibilizado pela BPMN 2.0.2, onde, anteriormente, tal identificação era possível apenas através da documentação do processo. / Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) makes it possible to display information about the data flow of a process through data and artifacts such as objects, associations and data stores. However, these elements provide a limited capacity, especially when referring to the mapping of the data sources (e.g. web service) in a process model. In this context, this paper proposes an approach to associate data sources to BPMN elements (e.g. service task). Such approach aims to serve as a starting point to business process management professionals in order to map, in design time, the data source that is being used by the process, through the use of BPMN elements. In order to demonstrate the results, five correlations were evidenced, which are called “definitions proposals”, followed by their textual description and an example of use. These definitions proposals, together with the data sources used, were evaluated through a survey. As a result, the selected data sources were validated by the participants of the survey that demonstrated knowledge in at least one of the data sources, providing evidence that the selected data sources are the most appropriated for the work concerned. Also, as results, the definitions proposals were validated with the participants, obtaining positive results regarding to the process fragments designed to represent the data sources internal data, file transfer and shared database. The main contribution of this thesis is to assist the identification of data sources of a business process, from the set of elements provided by BPMN 2.0.2, where, previously, such identification was only possible through the process documentation.

Aplicação de conceitos de bancos de dados de grafos e relacional na criação de proposta e análise comparativa de abordagens para armazenamento de processos / A proposal for storage of processes between different databases

Viégas, Rafael Pedroni January 2018 (has links)
Em busca da documentação e otimização de seus processos, a área de Business Process Management (BPM) vem cada vez mais atraindo o interesse do meio empresarial, por ser um importante método no auxílio ao ganho de resultados, como redução de custos e aumento de produtividade. Modelar processos, entretanto, não basta. É preciso que se atente para métodos eficientes de armazená-los, permitindo que as informações sejam manipuladas e utilizadas de maneira prática e inteligente. A presente dissertação propõe duas abordagens para armazenamento de modelos de processo, uma em bancos de dados relacionais e outra em bancos de dados orientados a grafos, comparando-os através de aspectos como desempenho na execução das operações e proximidade da abordagem de cada um deles com os modelos de processos. Enquanto os bancos de dados relacionais são mais populares, sendo utilizados na maior parte das aplicações atuais, os bancos de dados orientados a grafos possuem propriedades e representação gráfica semelhantes aos modelos de processos. Foram realizados testes que visam analisar o desempenho de ambas as abordagens, além da facilidade dos usuários em interagir com os modelos propostos. Os resultados deste estudo podem ser utilizados para a criação de repositórios que compartilhem processos de maneira eficiente, bem como incentivar o estudo de novas maneiras para o armazenamento de processos. / Business Process Management (BPM) area has been increasingly attracted the interest of the business community because users are looking for documentation and optimization. These documents can be an important method in helping to gain results such as reduced costs and increased productivity. However, to model processes is not enough. It is necessary to pay attention to efficient storage methods, allowing information to be handled and used in a practical and intelligent way. The present article compares the use of relational databases and graph databases, considering aspects such as performance in the execution of operations and proximity of the approach of each of them with the process models. While relational databases are more popular, being used in most of the current applications, graph databases have properties and graphical representations similar to process models. The results of this study can be used to create repositories which can both share process efficiently, and encourage the study of new ways of storing processes.

PROCESNÍ MANAGEMENT A MOŽNOSTI JEHO UPLATNĚNÍ VE VYBRANÉ FIRMĚ / PROCESS MANAGEMENT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ITS USE IN THE CHOSEN COMPANY

NÁVAROVÁ, Jitka January 2007 (has links)
The goal of my thesis was to describe the processes in the chosen company. The goal was also to analyze one of the processes, specify its phases and suggest its change that would make the process more efficient for the customer and for the company. The analytical section was concerned with analyzing the processes and better specifying the chosen process and its problems. The synthetic section refers to the suggestion of new process structure, so that the chosen process better satisfies the customer and the company. The change was based on adding two new processes, identifying the possibility of production in the Production Department and identifying the possibility of assuring the material sources in the Purchasing Department. The change of the process was realized and the managers of interested Departments found it better than the ``old process{\crqq}.
