Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Informatik - Wirtschaftsinformatik, Note: 1,0, Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule Private Fernhochschule Darmstadt (Informatik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Gestaltung und Optimierung von Geschäftsprozessen ist ein aktuelles Thema. Besonders der komplexe Bereich des Workflow-Managements tritt immer weiter in den Fokus der strategischen Betrachtung des Unternehmens im Spannungsfeld zwischen Marktanforderungen und Konkurrenzdruck. Ein Gesichtspunkt dabei ist die Modellierung der Geschäftsprozesse. Damit wird aber nur der nächste Schritt eingeleitet, nämlich das neue Modell auf semantische und formale Korrektheit hin zu überprüfen und vor allem Effizienzmessungen durchzuführen. Gegenstand dieser Diplomarbeit soll die quantitative Analyse der Geschäftsprozesse sein. Sie beschäftigt sich mit den Fragen der Effizienz der Prozesse und ihrer Simulation. Der letzte Punkt erlangt besondere Bedeutung durch die Risikosenkung bei der Implementierung neuer Prozesse in eine bestehende Organisation. Mit einem Top-Down-Ansatz wird zunächst die Modellierung von Geschäftsprozessen besprochen und hierbei die besondere Eignung von Petri-Netzen als Modellierungssprache zur Analyse herausgestellt. Anschließend wird auf die Analyse allgemein und dann speziell auf die quantitative Analyse eingegangen. Schwerpunkt der Arbeit wird die Darstellung der Performance-Analyse zur Effizienzmessung und der Simulation als Mittel zur Erkenntnisgewinnung sein. Die betrachteten Algorithmen sollen für das Modellierungstool WoPeD (Workflow Petri Net Designer)1 in Java implementiert werden. Dabei handelt es sich um Open-Source-Software, die an der Berufsakademie Karlsruhe entwickelt wurde und zur Modellierung und Analyse von Geschäftsprozessen auf Basis von Workflow-Netzen insbesondere im akademischen Bereich genutzt wird. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse der Arbeit kritisch beurteilt und ein Ausblick auf weitere Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten gegeben.

Book Description
In current practice, business processes modeling is done by trained method experts. Domain experts are interviewed to elicit their process information but not involved in modeling. We created a haptic toolkit for process modeling that can be used in process elicitation sessions with domain experts. We hypothesize that this leads to more effective process elicitation. This paper brakes down "effective elicitation" to 14 operationalized hypotheses. They are assessed in a controlled experiment using questionnaires, process model feedback tests and video analysis. The experiment compares our approach to structured interviews in a repeated measurement design. We executed the experiment with 17 student clerks from a trade school. They represent potential users of the tool. Six out of fourteen hypotheses showed significant difference due to the method applied. Subjects reported more fun and more insights into process modeling with tangible media. Video analysis showed significantly more reviews and corrections applied during process elicitation. Moreover, people take more time to talk and think about their processes. We conclude that tangible media creates a different working mode for people in process elicitation with fun, new insights and instant feedback on preliminary results.

Book Description
The outsourcing market, especially Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), is growing every year. For decades, companies have successfully used outsourcing to generate significant savings. However, discussions with any employee will reveal some resentment of outsourcing. The aim of the study has been first to improve the understanding of some salient difficulties in Business Process Outsourcing relationships, with special reference to the perceived challenges of managing and monitoring Service Legal Agreements in Swiss banking, and second to assist outsourcing banks and service providers in formulating and managing their outsourcing contracts. The study was designed to obtain, through interviews, descriptions and perceptions of experts in Swiss Banking Business Process Outsourcing. Given the nature of the topic but also because of practical constraints, the investigator elected to use a qualitative, interpretative, social constructionist research framework. An extensive review of the literature revealed that a variety of definitions of in- and out-sourcing exist. Some of these terms were used in academic writings and the business press interchangeably and had to be defined. Twenty-two practitioners were interviewed. The data were analysed and interpreted with the help of qualitative analysis software (NVivo). Subsequently, I compared my findings with those of the literature reviewed. Furthermore, a gap in the literature, namely that it generally does not deal with the perceived quality of the relationship, could be addressed and practical approaches for managing BPO relationships are suggested.

Book Description
Communication between man and machine is vital to completing projects in the current day and age. Without this constant connectiveness as we enter an era of big data, project completion will result in utter failure. Agile Approaches for Successfully Managing and Executing Projects in the Fourth Industrial Revolution addresses changes wrought by Industry 4.0 and its effects on project management as well as adaptations and adjustments that will need to be made within project life cycles and project risk management. Highlighting such topics as agile planning, cloud projects, and organization structure, it is designed for project managers, executive management, students, and academicians.

Book Description
The business problem of having inefficient processes, imprecise process analyses and simulations as well as non-transparent artificial neuronal network models can be overcome by an easy-to-use modeling concept. With the aim of developing a flexible and efficient approach to modeling, simulating and optimizing processes, this paper proposes a flexible Concept of Neuronal Modeling (CoNM). The modeling concept, which is described by the modeling language designed and its mathematical formulation and is connected to a technical substantiation, is based on a collection of novel sub-artifacts. As these have been implemented as a computational model, the set of CoNM tools carries out novel kinds of Neuronal Process Modeling (NPM), Neuronal Process Simulations (NPS) and Neuronal Process Optimizations (NPO). The efficacy of the designed artifacts was demonstrated rigorously by means of six experiments and a simulator of real industrial production processes.

Book Description
This book deals with the question of whether religious worldviews fulfil an explanatory function in the lives of believers. After rebutting some common objections to this claim, the author proposes to understand the explanatory nature of religious belief along the lines of inference to the best explanation. This proposal is qualified in view of the peculiar nature of religious belief: It is stressed that the type of explanation concerned occurs within the bounds of religion alone, and loses its sense apart from the religious form of life. In unfolding his argument, the author draws heavily on ideas of explanation developed in the philosophy of science, pointing to differences and comparisons between religious and scientific explanations. The author concludes by considering some specific things that theism explains.

Book Description
Workflow-based Process Controlling Systems provide companies with the ability to measure the operational performance of their business processes in a timely and accurate fashion. The combination of workflow audit trails with data warehouse technology and operational business data allows for complex analyses that can support managers in their assessment of an organization's performance. The increasing maturity of business process management and data warehouse systems enables the design and development of advanced process-oriented management information systems. Michael zur Muehlen discusses the integration of workflow audit trail data with existing data warehouse structures and develops a reference architecture for process-oriented management information systems. Starting with an organizational and technical analysis of process organizations, this book provides a comprehensive documentation of business process management, workflow technology, and existing standardization efforts. The proposed reference architecture is validated in an industry context. A prototypical implementation of the reference architecture and its integration with a commercial business process management system are demonstrated as well. This book is directed at both practitioners and academics in the fields of business process management, management accounting, and information systems research.
