A promoção do business process managment (BPM) tem o potencial de trazer diversos benefícios para organizações de diferentes tamanhos, setores de atuação, regiões geográficas ou níveis de maturidade em gerenciamento de processos. Um dos fatores críticos de sucesso para a promoção de BPM é o seu alinhamento com o planejamento estratégico da organização. Este trabalho procura explorar o potencial de facilitação da promoção de BPM em uma unidade de pesquisa clínica (UPC) por meio do alinhamento com o planejamento estratégico. A pergunta de pesquisa que se pretende responder é: quais são os benefícios de um diagnóstico e planejamento estratégico prévios à promoção de um programa de BPM em uma unidade de pesquisa clínica (UPC)? Assim, o objetivo é definir as etapas e auxiliar na condução de um planejamento estratégico em uma unidade de pesquisa clínica, identificando posteriormente os benefícios decorrentes desta prática para a promoção de um programa de BPM. O método utilizado no trabalho foi a pesquisa-ação. Concluiu-se que a análise e estruturação inicial do processo de planejamento estratégico foi adequado como preparação para um primeiro ciclo de promoção de BPM na organização focal. Com base nas lições aprendidas durante o desenvolvimento foi proposto um modelo de planejamento estratégico orientado à promoção de BPM. / Business process management (BPM) has the potential to enhance performance for organizations of different sizes, industries, geographical locations or maturity levels of process management. One critical success factor for the promotion of BPM is its alignment with strategic planning. This research aims to explore the potential benefits of aligning the strategic planning process with a BPM program. Thus, the research question is defined as: what are the benefits of executing a diagnosis and strategic planning before a BPM program in a clinical research center (CRC)? The objective of the research is to define and execute steps of a strategic planning process in a clinical research center, identifying the benefits of these activities for a subsequent BPM program. Action-research was the method applied. The main findings were that the initial diagnosis of the organization in focus\' management practices and structuring of the strategic planning process ware adequate to prepare for the first cycle of a BPM program. Based on lessons learned along the research, a model was proposed for the strategic planning process oriented towards the promotion of BPM.

Orientador: José de Souza Rodrigues / Resumo: A partir da percepção da necessidade de mudanças na gestão do IFRR, esta dissertação tem como objetivo verificar como os conhecimentos de gestão por processos de negócios, por meio de técnicas de mineração, modelagem e mapeamento de processos podem contribuir para melhoria dos processos institucionais. O BPM é considerado como um dos temas mais atuais na era da informação, de um lado, ele aborda a interação de pessoas e organizações e, de outro, softwares de reconhecimento, técnicas de modelagem e simulação e mineração de processos. Acredita-se, portanto, que a presente pesquisa é capaz de incentivar uma cultura voltada para melhoria contínua por meio do gerenciamento dos processos internos, proporcionando melhores resultados para a instituição. Por tanto, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida, primeiramente, por meio do procedimento de mineração de processos no sistema de informações institucional, posteriormente com as modelagens “as is” e “to be” de um processo institucional, onde foi adaptado e aplicado o ciclo de vida de gerenciamento de processos desenvolvendo as etapas de planejamento, análise e modelagem do processo. Como resultados da aplicação do ciclo de vida de BPM foi selecionado o processo de aquisição de bens e serviços e foram desenvolvidas as modelagens as is e to be do referido processo. / Abstract: Based on the perception of the need for changes in IFRR management, this paper aims to verify how BPM knowledge, through mining, modeling and mapping technics can contribute to the improvement of institutional processes. BPM is considered to be one of the most current issues in the information age. On the one hand, it addresses the interaction of people and organizations and, on the other hand, recognition software, modeling and simulation techniques, and process mining. It is believed, therefore, that the present research is able to encourage a culture focused on continuous improvement through the management of internal processes, providing better results for the institution. Therefore, the research was developed, first, through the procedure of mining process in the institutional information system, later with the "as is" and "to be" modeling of an institutional process, where the life of process management was adapted and applied by developing the process planning, analysis and modeling steps. As a result of the application of the BPM lifecycle, the process of acquiring goods and services was selected and the modeling of the process was developed. / Mestre

I en komplex informationsteknologisk värld behöver företag och organisationer flexibla affärssystem som följer den tekniska utvecklingen. Av denna anledning har kommersiella BPMS-verktyg (Business Process Management System) blivit populära på grund av sin höga förmåga att snabbt integreras med affärssystemen i nya arbetsmiljöer. Ett alternativ till kommersiella BPMS-verktyg är de OSS-baserade (Open Source Software) BPMS-verktygen med öppen källkod som är tillgänglig för allmänheten att vidareutveckla.  På grund av att de OSS-baserade BPMS-verktygen ofta är unga på marknaden och behöver vidareutvecklas blev syftet med denna uppsats att genomföra en granskning av de open source-baserade BPMS-verktygen vad gäller deras skilda egenskaper. En sådan granskning ökar förståelsen för hur verktygen fungerar och underlättar därför vidareutvecklingen av dem. Genom att utgå från en etablerad analysmodell av Delgado et al. (2015) genomfördes en tematisk innehållsanalys för att jämföra egenskaperna i dessa verktyg. Närmare bestämt analyserades insamlade dokument som beskriver BPMS-verktygens egenskaper. Den vägen jämfördes 6 olika BPMS-verktyg utifrån 13 egenskaper. Analysresultatet visade att Bonitasoft, jBPM och JMPM5 var de mest välutvecklade BPMS-verktygen som gav stöd för flest egenskaper. Resultatet visade även att verktyg med färre egenskaper ändå kunde vara ett bra alternativ för vissa företag, beroende på vilka egenskaper och funktionaliteter som prioriteras inom företaget. / In a world of developing complex information technologies, companies and organizations need flexible and updated business systems that and match these technological developments. For this reason, commercial BPMS (Business Process Management System) tools have become popular because of their high ability to quickly integrate with business systems in new work environments. An alternative to commercial BPMS tools are the OSS-based (Open Source Software) open source BPMS tools that are available for the public to develop. Since the OSS-based BPMS tools are often new on the market and need further development, the purpose of this paper was to conduct an analysis of open source-based BPMS tools with respect to their various features. Such an analysis increases the understanding of the tools’ functionality and therefore facilitates further development of them. Based on an established analysis model by Delgado et al. (2015), a thematic option for some companies, depending on the characteristics and functionalities that are prioritized within the company. Content analysis was conducted to compare the characteristics of these tools. More specifically, collected documents were analyzed describing the properties of BPMS tools. That way, 6 different BPMS tools were compared based on 13 properties. The analysis showed that Bonitasoft, jBPM and JBPM5 were the most well-developed BPMS tools that supported most of the features. In addition, the analysis demonstrated that tools with fewer features could still be a good option for some companies, depending on the characteristics and functionalities that are prioritized within the company.

I dagens konkurrensutsatta marknad är det en nödvändighet för organisationer att kontinuerligt effektivisera sina affärsprocesser med avgörande betydelse för tillväxt. Eftersom dessa processer är essentiella byggstenar för en organisations framgång har systemstöd avseende processmanagement blivit en viktig faktor i strävan efter att uppfylla organisationens mål och förbättra sin konkurrenskraft. Med detta i åtanke är det intressant att studera i vilken grad workflowsystem kan bidra till att förbättra organisationers affärsprocesser. Mot bakgrund av dessa snabbskiftande marknadsförutsättningar kommer studien behandla processrelaterade systemstöd med syftet att undersöka situationen för samtidens workflowbaserade optimeringar och utröna framtida visioner gällande automatisk processmanagement. Undersökningen har utförts genom en kvalitativ kund- och marknadsanalys avseende IT-företaget Medius AB där intervjuer, deltagande observationer och dokumentstudier legat till grund för en abduktiv analys. Företaget är en leverantör av processrelaterat IT-stöd och den övergripande affärsidén är att med hjälp av system förenkla och automatisera organisationers skilda processer. Studien visar bland annat att leverantörserbjudanden och definitioner gällande processmanagement skiljer sig åt globalt och nationellt och att det i dagens konkurrensutsatta marknad är svårt att motivera processer utöver sådana som genererar en direkt organisationsnytta. Vidare framkommer trender inom processmanagementområdet, bland annat Case Management, Business Process Management och outsourcing av organisationsprocesser. Studien visar också att den framtida workflowmarknaden förutspås innehålla produkter som stödjer hela organisationer involverandes partner, leverantörer och kunder och inte endast interna processer. / In today's competitive market it is a necessity for organizations to continuously improve their business processes which are critical to growth. Since these processes are essential for organizational success it has become important to support them via information systems in order to meet organizational goals and to improve competitiveness. Thus it is interesting to study to what extent workflow systems can help improve organizations' business processes. In light of these rapidly changing market conditions, this study will examine process-related system support with the aim to investigate the situation of today's workflow-based optimizations, and explore future visions regarding automatic process management. The study was conducted through a qualitative customer and market analysis for the IT company Medius AB, where interviews, participant observations and document studies formed the basis of an abductive analysis. The company is a supplier of process-related IT support and its overall business concept is to offer systems to simplify and automate organizations' separate processes. The result of this study shows, for example, that the definitions and offerings from the vendors differ globally and nationally, and that it is difficult in today's competitive market to justify processes other than those that generate direct organizational benefits. Furthermore, different trends in the field of business process management have been identified, a few examples being Case Management, Business Process Management and outsourcing of organizational processes. The study also shows that the future workflow market is predicted to contain products that support the entire organization and not only specific processes, including partners, suppliers and customers.

This thesis deals with the topic of process management as a part of IT Governance. Cobit is the standard for the IT Governance. For the purpose of the thesis we use Cobit 5, the latest Cobit version published in 2012. Next part of the thesis is focused on describing the principles of process management and analyzing differences between line and process management. To be able to choose the appropriate modeling notation, the work uses the most common notation of process modeling -- BPMN, EPC and UML. The second part of the thesis analyses the current status of process management in an international bank using methods of questionnaire, document analysis and observation. Following the analysis, new concept of process management is created and applied to two specific processes.
