No entanto, discussões acerca da sua aplicabilidade para projetos SOA (Arquitetura Orientada a Serviço) têm sido constantes, o que justificou a escolha desse tema de investigação. Este documento apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa cujo objetivo foi a construção de uma proposta para a medição, por meio da utilização de Pontos de Função (PF), do tamanho funcional de softwares que utilizam as abordagens de desenvolvimento de software com SOA e BPM (Business Process Management). A proposta foi desenvolvida a partir de revisão da literatura e de análises de dados empíricos coletados durante a execução de um projeto real. Ao final do trabalho, foi possível realizar análises comparativas entre projeções usando APF, o método proposto e dados empíricos. O resultado mostrou que a APF não é adequada para a medição do tamanho funcional de projetos SOA/BPM, ao contrário do método proposto. / One of the most widely used and documented measurement techniques for obtaining software size is Function Point Analysis (FPA). However, there have been frequently discussions about its applicability to SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) projects, which justifies a choice of the research topic. This document presents the results of a research whose objective was the construction of a proposal to measure SOA and BPM (Business Process Management) softwares through the use of Function Points (PF). A proposal has been developed based on literature review and empirical data analyzes, with was collected from an execution of a real project. The research compare empirical data (from a real-world project) to projections based on FPA, as well on the proposed method. Results demonstrate that the proposed method is suitable to SOA/BPM projects, differently of FPA.

Neste contexto, o campo de conhecimento informática em saúde tem sido aplicado ao desenvolvimento científico que utiliza a informática para melhor oferecer serviços à saúde, resolvendo problemas e auxiliando na tomada de decisão. Diante dessa abordagem, temos o uso dos modernos recursos da TI para realização de atividades a distância relacionadas à prática de saúde em seus diversos níveis, resultando assim em atividades denominadas de telessaúde. Ciente dos benefícios trazidos pela informática em saúde, o governo federal propõe políticas de utilização da TI no auxílio à promoção e gestão da saúde. Neste cenário, o Núcleo de Telessaúde da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (NUTES-UFPE) oferece serviços de telessaúde para a população, através de sistemas de informação que auxiliam a assistência e diagnóstico do paciente, bem como a formação contínua do profissional de saúde. Como medida de monitoramento e avaliação desses serviços de telessaúde, o Ministério da Saúde (MS) instituiu medidas de controle e monitoramento através de indicadores de desempenho, os quais são coletados dos núcleos e enviados ao MS. Com o objetivo de obter uma visão detalhada dos serviços de telessaúde ofertados e com isso, analisar a troca de informação entre sistemas e departamentos que executam cada serviço, nessa pesquisa foi realizado um detalhamento sintático e semântico dos dados a serem trocados entre os sistemas do NUTES-UFPE, garantindo a interoperabilidade entre eles para efetuar a coleta dos indicadores de cada serviço de telessaúde. Desta forma, como estratégia de pesquisa, foi realizado um estudo de caso tomando como premissa a utilização da abordagem da Gestão de Processos de Negócio (do inglês, Business Process Management- BPM) para mapear os processos de negócio do NUTES-UFPE. A presente pesquisa descreve a aplicação desse estudo de caso que teve como resultado a viabilização da interoperabilidade entre os sistemas e melhorias na troca de informação, coleta e envio dos indicadores de monitoramento e avaliação dos serviços de telessaúde. / The use of information technology (IT) in the practice of health care is a trend that has been evolving and gaining increasingly space in health area in Brazil and all around the world. In this context, the health informatics, as discussed in literature, is a knowledge field applied to scientific development that uses computer technology to improve health services, fixing problems and assisting in decision-making. Faced with this approach, there is the use of modern IT resources for carrying out distance activities related to health practice at various levels, resulting in activities named telehealth. Aware of benefits brought by health informatics, the federal government proposes IT usage policies in helping to promote and manage health. In this scenario, the Telehealth Center of Federal University of Pernambuco (NUTES-UFPE) provides telehealth services to the population through information systems that support the assistance and diagnose of patients, as well as the continuous education for health professionals. As a measure of monitoring and evaluation of these telehealth services provided by the various telehealth centers, the Ministry of Health established control and monitoring measures through performance indicators, which are collected from the centers and sent to Ministry. With the goal of to get a detailed view of the offered telehealth services and thereby, analyze the exchange of information between systems and departments that execute each service, this research was made a syntactic and semantic details of data to be exchanged between NUTES-UFPE systems, ensuring interoperability between them to do the collect of indicators for each telehealth service. So, as a research strategy, a case study was realized with the premise of the use of Business Process Management (BPM) in order to map the NUTES-UFPE business processes. This research describes the application of this case study that resulted in a feasibility of the interoperability between systems and improvements of the information exchange, collection and dispatch of indicators for monitoring and evaluation of telehealth services.

In this scenario, continuous evaluation procedures, compliance with government regulations and industry standards, evolutions in the business domain, stakeholders’ needs, new technologies and economic factors related to globalization pressure are examples of aspects that can foster changes on business processes. The impact of this changing environment is the variation of business processes, in a phenomenon called business process variability. The objective of this research is, therefore, to aggregate relevant studies which address the context of this phenomenon. The studies’ selection was accomplished through a Systematic Literature Review, conducting automatic searches in a set of digital libraries and manual searches in leading conferences and journals in the fields of Business Process Management and Computer Science. In total, 13619 studies were retrieved, from which 80 were classified as relevant. This set of primary studies acted as sources of evidence for answering 3 research questions and their respectively subquestions. From the analysis performed, the study concludes that despite efforts in the literature for managing business process variability, this concept is not clear and well delimited, involving additional aspects and, hence, lacking a structured taxonomy. Contributions of the current work are: to provide valuable information with respect to the main notions in business process variability field and, possible types and inductors of process variability;to identify the main challenges faced by organizations when dealing with this phenomenon and; to examine a set of proposals for process variability management, investigating the existence of tool support and empirical evaluations carried out.

The main topic of this diploma thesis is process management and Business Process reengineering (BPR) and applied research of this concept in a particular company. In the theoretical part at first I define the concept of process and process management, which I then develop with BPR. In addition, the basic methodologies, including metadata of modeling a business process analysis (MMABP) are defined and described. I also present the modeling language Unifield Modeling Language (UML), Eriksson-Penker notation and the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). On the basis of this theoretical part, I implement applied research in a specific research area.

The purpose of this thesis was to review and investigate processes by analyzing what impact logistics and handling had on the transportation units, with the goal of proposing a solution strategy for how to prevent and reduce the breakage of these units. By creating and applying standards and guidelines, specified in this thesis there is the opportunity to greatly reduce: cost of costumer claims, ecological impact and risk of injuries. To achieve this: mapping of the processes and locating risk factors, archival studies, literature, Ishikawa mapping, a case study and interviews were performed. With the methods used, two main problem areas were found and investigated. Analyzing these two problem areas lead to the recommendations of standards and application of Standardized work. / Syftet med det genomförda examensarbetet var att undersöka och analysera vilka effekter logistik och hantering haft på hållfastheten av lastningsbärare för att ta fram ett lösningsförslag på hur brott kan förebyggas. Från införda standarder och riktlinjer, presenterade i det här examensarbetet kan reklamationskostnader, ekologiska kostnader och skaderisker kraftigt minimeras. Processkartläggning och risk sökning, Arkiv- och litteraturstudier, Ishikawa- kartläggning, fallstudie och intervjuer genomfördes och användes för att få fram resultatet. Med de använda metoderna kunde två problemområden hittas och undersökas. Analysering av dessa problemområden ledde till en rekommendation om applicering av standardiserat arbete.

[Context] Clinical pathology is a medical specialty that uses laboratory analysis of tissues and fluids to diagnose diseases. As emerging methodologies and technologies extend their realm to anatomical pathology, pathology facilities are faced with new challenges related to the increasing volume and complexity of patient cases in their work processes. [Problem] Existing tools that monitor process data show limitations in supporting pathology process management. They lack the capability of identifying emerging process bottlenecks in a real-time manner, and this prevents facility managers from conducting corrective actions proactively. [Methodology] Applying the Design Science Research Methodology, this thesis proposes and builds a Business Intelligence solution that provides visual analysis and real-time monitoring functions to support pathology process management. A usability study with expert participants from the Eastern Ontario Regional Laboratory Association was conducted to validate this solution. [Results] The proposed solution meets the requirements of the experts and can provide efficient, flexible, and multi-tenancy support to users in the context of their daily professional activities.

The final thesis is focused on the topic of process management and its development in time. Business Process Management and workflow, are described in the thesis as well as its specification and classification. The paper compares these two concepts. The thesis also works with the methodology of ARIS and Balanced Scorecard which are applied in the selected process of the organization. The process is built on the BPMN notation which is also described in the thesis. The aim of the thesis is to examine and to analyze selected process of the organization with specific methodology, to specify potential problems in the process and to suggest possible solution.

In the first part of the diploma thesis is described the relevant theory of the Business Process Management which is fundamental background for the practical second part of the thesis. The theoretic part contains of a general description of the Business Process Management and a description of the BPM design phases, such as planning, analyzing, designing, and implementing. The second part of the diploma thesis focuses on the design of the Business Process Management in GfK Praha, s.r.o. First the company is introduced globally as well as locally. Afterwards the local branch is analyzed by real data and especially by many structural interviews with GfK employees. Most importantly, based on the workshops with the cooperative employees, there are designed new processes into the connected process maps.

This thesis attends to process management approach. It describes reasons and circumstances that led organizations to focus on this area. Especially the unsuitable quality of managing and opportunities for better match of values and processes are important. Fashion wave also plays an important role, which gives thanks to words such a process and models are inflected quite often. Approaches to the implementation of process management are various. The fundamental difference between them is the form of attitude to chase. Some of them require radical changes in processes and wants to build them from nothing. The others prefer to gradually improve them step by step. The most common variant, which usually best fit, is to mix these approaches. The tools and methodologies are needed for implementation also. One such tool is the Metastorm BPM. The outcome of the project, which is described in practical section of this thesis, was created with its utilization. Project goal was to implement process management for project management. Use of Metastorm BPM tool allowed simple implementation of required processes, including management and user functionality.

The professional work includes the analysis of modern methods which inrease efficiecy in the public sector. This work also applies these methods to the particular case. The pattern CAF is briefly described. The last topic is focused on the purpose of the introduction of the central project office.
