Thesis (MScEng)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Organizations formally define and document their business processes in order to properly
understand them and to subsequently enable their continuous development, improvement and
management. In order to formally define and document their business processes, organizations can
use Business Process Modelling, which represents the design of graphical models that portray the
business processes of organizations.
It is however noted that it is difficult to select a suitable Business Process Modelling Technique in
support of a specific application of Business Process Modelling. This is due to the considerable
amount of existing Business Process Modelling Techniques, the inherent impact of their varying
capabilities and the lack of formal measures that are available to support evaluations regarding their
suitability for specific modelling applications.
It is therefore considered appropriate to execute a research study that is aimed at the development
and validation of a measurement framework that can be used to evaluate the suitability of Business
Process Modelling Techniques for specific modelling applications. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Organisasies definieer en dokumenteer hulle besigheidsprosesse op ʼn formele wyse om hulle
ordentlik te verstaan en gevolglik hulle deurlopende ontwikkeling, verbetering en bestuur te
bemagtig. Ten einde die uitvoering van hierdie aktiwiteit aan te spreek, kan organisasies
Besigheidsproses Modellering gebruik om grafiese modelle van hulle besigheidsprosesse te ontwerp.
Daar word egter kennis geneem dat dit moeilik is om ʼn geskikte Besigheidsproses Modellering
Tegniek te kies tes ondersteuning van ʼn spesifieke toepassing van Besigheidsproses Modellering.
Dit is weens die groot hoeveelheid bestaande Besigheidsproses Modellering Tegnieke, die impak
van hulle variërende vermoëns asook die gebrek aan formele maatstawwe wat gebruik kan word om
hulle geskiktheid vir spesifieke modellering toepassings te evalueer.
Dit lei tot die besluit om ‘n studie te voltooi wat gefokus is op die ontwikkeling en validasie van ʼn
metings raamwerk wat gebruik kan word om die geskiktheid van Besigheidsproses Modellering
Tegnieke vir spesifieke toepassings van Besigheidproses Modellering te evalueer.
