The companies can choose from a wide range of tools and methodologies for mapping their processes. The key point is to select the right ones to ensure they will match with the purpose of process mapping and the process models will be clear and easy to understand for the entire stakeholder spectrum. For process modeling we often use diagrams. We have notations that are very advanced, they can be very detailed and accurate. On the other hand we have those which are very simple and with only a few symbols they can capture basic ideas and attributes of the process. The aim of this thesis is to compare representatives from each group of notations and answer the question which notation is more suitable for different types of utilization of business process models. The representative of the advanced instruments is BPMN 2.0, which is compared with the basic flowcharts. The research is based on Delphi method.

É nítida, no âmbito histórico, uma rápida evolução conceitual nas diversas publicações acadêmicas e políticas em que se apresenta o tema, principalmente nas últimas quatro décadas, o que tem proporcionado um redirecionamento no olhar e práticas direcionadas a inclusão desta população. No entanto, ao destacarmos as políticas expressas na legislação, confrontadas com as práticas, planejamento e articulações desenvolvidas nos municípios, nos defrontamos com uma realidade que expõe a desarticulação entre essas atividades, e principalmente, a quase completa ausência de instrumentalidades que possibilitem aferir sua eficácia. Se por um lado, as agências formadoras tentam desenvolver em seus graduandos conceitos que possibilitem uma sociedade inclusiva e que contemplem com um novo olhar a pessoa com deficiência, de outro lado, observamos o descompasso entre a intenção e a prática, e principalmente, entre os setores que planejam e os que gerem os processos inclusivos. Isto resulta em processos não racionalizados, com sobreposição de tarefas, de custeio ou de atendimentos, retrabalho, falta de atendimento pela inferência de que alguma atividade seja de outro setor, além de um conjunto de informações dispersas ou desconexas, e por fim, ausência de indicadores confiáveis que propiciem validação de resultados. Desta percepção decorre a necessidade de modelos de integração destes conceitos (oriundos da pesquisa e ciência) e práticas (presentes nos ambientes sociais) em uma ação que apresente sincronia e alinhamento com um ponto de convergência comum (as necessidades humanas), e que possibilitem rastrear a eficácia dos resultados das políticas públicas. O presente trabalho evoca o uso da metodologia de modelagem e desenho de processos orientadas a valor, aliada a uma abordagem de resolução de problemas complexos, como alternativa para o estabelecimento, mapeamento e verificação de indicadores de gestão de processos inclusivos, e monitoramento, validação e rastreabilidade de resultados das ações voltadas à inclusão. Concluímos, pela otimização de processos e resultados obtidos pela aplicação desta metodologia, ela se demonstrou útil para certificar municípios, entidades ou quaisquer outros níveis de recortes estruturais, aferindo e validando processos de inclusão, além de fornecer indicadores para correção e planificação das ações de formação ou indicação de áreas de carência em pesquisa e desenvolvimento, contribuindo para a eficácia, e não somente eficiência, das atividades desenvolvidas no sentido da inclusão da pessoa com deficiência / Abstract: There are several clippings by which it has been analyzed the issues of inclusion of people with disabilities in research are developed in academic forums, or in the socio- political and economic debates. It is clear, in the historical context, a quick conceptual evolution in several academic publications and policies which presents the theme, especially in the last four decades, which has resulted in a redirect gaze and practices aimed at inclusion of this population. However, when we cut the policy expressed in legislation, confronted with the practical, engineering and joints developed in the municipalities, faced with a reality that exposes the lack of connection between these activities and especially the almost complete absence of instrumentalities that enable measuring its effectiveness. On one hand, the training agencies try to develop concepts that enable its graduates an inclusive society and contemplating a new look with the disabled person, on the other hand, we observe the gap between intention and practice, and especially among sectors planning and managing the inclusive processes, resulting in not streamlined processes, with overlapping tasks, or calls costing, rework, lack of care by the inference that some activity is of another sector, plus a set of Scattered or disconnected information, or lack of reliable indicators that provide validation of results . From this perception stems the urgent need of models of integration of these concepts (derived from the research and science) and practical (present in social settings) in synchrony to submit an action and alignment to a common point of convergence (human needs), and enabling to track the effectiveness of the results of public policy. This work evokes the use of the value-oriented methodology for modeling and designing processes, combined with an approach of solving complex problems, as an alternative to the establishment, mapping and verification of management indicators of inclusive processes and monitoring, validation and traceability of results of actions aimed at inclusion. We conclude that such a methodology, if applied, could make municipalities, entities or other levels of structural clippings, assessing and validating processes of inclusion and provide indicators to correction and planning of training activities or indication of areas of need in research and development contributing to the effectiveness, not just efficiency, of the activities developed for the inclusion of people with disabilities / Doutorado / Atividade Fisica, Adaptação e Saude / Doutor em Educação Física

The correctness of a workflow specification is critical for the automation of business processes. For this reason, errors in the specification should be detected and corrected as early as possible - at specification time. In this paper, we present a validation method for workflow specifications using model-checking techniques. A formalized workflow specification, its properties and the correctness requirements are translated into a timed state machine that can be analyzed with the Uppaal model checker. The main contribution of this paper is the use of timed model checking for verifying time-related properties of workflow specifications. Using only one tool (the model checker) for verifying these different kinds of properties gives an advantage over using different specialized algorithms for verifying different kinds of properties.

Die Gestaltung betrieblicher Prozesse stellt heute einen wichtigen Wettbewerbsfaktor dar. Um am Markt erfolgreich agieren zu können, ist es notwendig, die eigenen Prozesse konsequent an den Bedürfnissen der Kunden auszurichten. Methoden der Prozessverbesserung beschreiben, welche Schritte hierfür durchzuführen sind. Modelle stellen dabei ein wesentliches Werkzeug für die Visualisierung der betrieblichen Abläufe dar. Gleichwohl wird in bestehenden Methoden der Prozessverbesserung nur unzureichend auf die systematische Nutzung und Wiederverwendung von Modellen eingegangen. Dadurch klafft eine Lücke zwischen erwartetem und tatsächlichem Nutzen des Modelleinsatzes im Rahmen der Prozessverbesserung. So wird insbesondere die methodische Nutzung und Auswertung von Modellen bisher entweder gar nicht oder lediglich isoliert von der Prozessverbesserung betrachtet. Damit existiert zwar eine Vielzahl an methodischen Puzzleteilen, eine durchgängige Unterstützung der Modellerstellung und -nutzung im Rahmen der Prozessverbesserung kann jedoch nicht erkannt werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt sich diesem methodischen Defizit und beschreibt Schritt für Schritt, wie die Verwendung von Modellen im Rahmen der Prozessverbesserung systematisiert werden kann. Damit soll die Nutzung von Modellen im betrieblichen Alltag forciert und der Aufwand für die Modellierung langfristig reduziert werden.

This is a report for our thesis that was conducted as a conclusion of our bachelor degree in Business engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). The work is done in cooperation with the firm Navigate Consulting Business Solutions AB. They have their leading expertise in Oracle E-Business Suite and has previously chosen to implement Oracle EBS R12. The modules that are planned to be implemented are general ledger (GL), accounts payable (AP), accounts receivable (AR), project module (PA), purchases, and CRM. For a consulting company like Navigate, it is particularly important to have a simple and effective time reporting process. We were therefore asked to provide new tabs with a decision-making process to determine if Oracle Time & Labor (OTL) is a useful time tracking system for their business. In order to achieve the company´s aim and objective we decided to follow a development method with five different phases. The phases included a set of work steps that generated various documents, which gave us enough information to structure the entire company and helped us to create a clear picture of the organization and its structure. From this, we could work out a requirements document and then map those requirements to OTL. This resulted in a gap analysis where you can read the requirements that are handled by OTL and possible solutions to the requirements that OTL doesn´t handle. The result of this work is presented in process maps, a requirement specification, an use case documents, and a GAP analysis. / Detta är en rapport för vårt examensarbete som har genomförts som en avslutning på vår kandidatutbildning Affärssystem vid Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH). Arbetet är utfört i samarbete med företaget Navigate Consulting Business Solutions AB (Navigate). De har sin främsta expertis inom Oracle E-Business Suite och har sedan tidigare valt att implementera Oracle EBS R12 i sin verksamhet. De tänkta modulerna är Huvudbok(GL), Leverantörsreskontra(AP), Kundreskontra(AR), Projektmodul(PA), Inköp och CRM. För ett konsultföretag som Navigate är det särskilt viktigt att ha en enkel och fungerande tidrapportering. Vi fick därför i uppdrag att förse Navigate med ett beslutsunderlag för att de ska kunna avgöra om Oracle Time & Labor (OTL) är ett lämpligt tidrapporteringssystem för deras verksamhet. För att uppnå arbetets syfte och mål beslutade vi att följa en utvecklingsmetod med fem olika faser. Faser med arbetssteg som genererade olika dokument, som gav oss tillräcklig information för att strukturera upp hela företaget och lättare skapa en klar bild över organisationen och dess struktur. Utifrån detta kunde vi arbeta fram ett kravdokument och sedan mappa dessa krav mot OTL. Detta resulterade i en GAP analys där man kan läsa vilka krav som hanteras utav OTL samt eventuella lösningar till de krav som ej hanteras. Resultatet av detta arbete presenteras i processkartor, en kravspecifikation, ett användningsfallsdokument samt en GAP analys.

The increasing demands on producing products in an effective and resource efficient manner has put more focus on modelling internal processes within organizations. Models of internal processes show what work is to be done and how to do the work in order to get to the desired result. Modelling internal processes is also a way to capture knowledge that by many is seen as the most meaningful resource and valuable asset in today’s organizations.  This thesis project has created a model of the project process for customized truck development (s-order) at Scania. The purpose has been to create a model that facilitates the everyday work of the project managers and can be used to improve the process. The goal of this report is to add to the theoretic field of process modelling by focusing on how to use a process model. A qualitative case study was conducted in parallel to a literature study. The result is a model in two layers providing different levels of detail. The model can be used for project planning, project execution, project control and project development the most important part being to create a standardized way of working which is the basis for a lean product development. The process of modelling can in itself generate important insights into a process, the report therefore ends with a discussion on suggestions for improvement of the s-order projects towards becoming a more lean product development process. / De ökande kraven på att producera varor på ett effektivt sätt med minskad användning av resurser ställer ökande krav på att modellera interna processer inom företag. Modeller av interna processer visar vad som ska göras i en process och när arbetet ska utföras för att få önskat resultat. Att modeller interna processer är också ett sätt att fånga kunskap som i stor utsträckning ses som den mest värdefulla tillgången i dagens organisationer. Detta projekt arbete har skapat en processmodell över projektprocessen för specialbeställda lastbilar (s-order) på Scania. Syftet har varit att skapa en modell som underlättar i projektledarnas dagliga arbete och som även kan användas som underlag för förbättringar av processen. Målet har varit att addera till det teoretiska fältet för process modellering genom att fokusera på hur modellen kan användas. En kvalitativ fallstudie har utförs parallellt med en litteraturstudie. Resultatet är en process modell i två lager med olika detaljnivå. Modellen kan användas för projektplanering, i utförandet av projekten, som kontroll av projekten och för utveckling av projekt processen, den viktigaste rollen är att en modell skapar basen för ett standardiserat arbetssätt, grunden för lean produktutveckling. Att modellera en process kan ge viktiga insikter i processen, rapporten avslutas därför med en diskussion kring åtgärder för hur s-order processen kan förbättras för att bli en mer lean produktutvecklingsprocess.

The goal of this research is to develop a new paradigm integrating the practices of business process modeling and use case modeling. These two modeling approaches describe the behavior of organizations and systems, and their interactions, but rest on different paradigms and serve different needs. The base of knowledge and information required for each approach is largely common, however, so an integrated approach has advantages in efficiency, consistency and completeness of the overall behavioral model. Both modeling methods are familiar and widely used. Business process modeling is often employed as a precursor to the development of a system to be used in a business organization. Business process modeling teams and stakeholders may spend months or years developing detailed business process models, expecting that these models will provide a useful base of information for system designers. Unfortunately, as the business process model is analyzed by the system designers, it is found that information needed to specify the functionality of the system does not exist in the business process model. System designers may then employ use case modeling to specify the needed system functionality, again spending significant time with stakeholders to gather the needed input. Stakeholders find this two-pass process redundant and wasteful of time and money since the input they provide to both modeling teams is largely identical, with each team capturing only the aspects relevant to their form of modeling. Developing a new paradigm and modeling approach that achieves the objectives of both business process modeling and use case modeling in an integrated form, in one analysis pass, results in time savings, increased accuracy and improved communication among all participants in the systems development process. Analysis of several case studies will show that inefficiency, wasted time and overuse of stakeholder resource time results from the separate application of business process modeling and use case modeling. A review of existing literature on the subject shows that while the problem of modeling both business process and use case information in a coordinated fashion has been recognized before, there are few if any approaches that have been proposed to reconcile and integrate the two methods. Based on both literature review and good modeling practices, a list of goals for the new paradigm and modeling approach forms the basis for the paradigm to be created. A grounded theory study is then conducted to analyze existing modeling approaches for both business processes and use cases and to provide an underlying theory on which to base the new paradigm. The two main innovations developed for the new paradigm are the usage process and the timebox. Usage processes allow system usages (use cases) to be identified as the business process model is developed, and the two to be shown in a combined process flow. Timeboxes allow processes to be positioned in time-relation to each other without the need to combine processes into higher level processes using causal relations that may not exist. The combination of usage processes and timeboxes allows any level of complex behavior to be modeled in one pass, without the redundancy and waste of separate business process and use case modeling work. Several pilot projects are conducted to test the new modeling paradigm in differing modeling situations with participants and subject matter experts asked to compare the traditional models with the new paradigm formulations.
