Book Description
An increasing number of companies regard Business Process Redesign (BPR) as a significant means of improving their competitive position. The initial euphoria is being superseded by a more pragmatic assessment. This book demonstrates how a systematic, practical yet creative procedure can lead to more reliably successful BPR projects. Case studies and investigations support the superiority of a systematic, method-based approach as opposed to an "intuitive" one.Consequently, before the start of a project a method must be selected which corresponds to the strategic goals of the project and is suited to the company environment. This book formulates the central principles and criteria for this, which are derived from practical experience. A procedural model and checklists help the reader to define what he requires from the method. From these criteria are then derived suitable BPR tools. Of particular importance here is the underlying cost-benefit analysis.The book describes over a dozen BPR methods and as many tools within a uniform framework. This ensures comparability and allows correlation with project-specific requirements. Particular attention is paid to method-tool combinations that are designed for combined use.Immer mehr Unternehmen sehen im Business Process Redesign (BPR) ein wesentliches Mittel, ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu steigern. Die anfängliche Euphorie weicht heute einer sachlicheren Betrachtung. Das Buch zeigt auf, warum ein systematisches, ingenieurmäßiges, aber gleichzeitig kreatives Vorgehen sicherer zu erfolgreichen BPR-Projekten führt.Fallstudien und empirische Untersuchungen untermauern die Überlegenheit des systematischen, methodisch unterstützten gegenüber dem "intuitiven" Ansatz. Dementsprechend ist vor Projektbeginn eine Methode auszuwählen, die der strategischen Zielsetzung des Projekts entspricht und in das Unternehmensumfeld paßt. Das Buch formuliert dafür die zentralen, aus der Praxis abgeleiteten Grundsätze und Kriterien. Ein Vorgehensmodel

Book Description
ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems) is a unique and internationally renowned method for optimizing business processes and implementing application systems. This book enhances the proven ARIS concept by describing product flows and explaining how to classify modern software concepts. The importance of the link between business process organization and strategic management is stressed. Bridging the gap between the different approaches in business theory and information technology, the ARIS concept provides a full-circle approach-from the organizational design of business processes to IT implementation. With an emphasis on SAP R/3, real-world examples of standard software solutions illustrate these business process frameworks.

Book Description
Media product portfolios are rapidly becoming the predominant shared characteristic of media companies worldwide. The phenomenon involves firms from all kinds of media--newspapers, magazines, television, radio, cinema--and is found in enterprises ranging from small, local firms to large, globalized companies. This volume is the result of a coordinated effort of scholars in the United States and Europe to explore the characteristics, processes, challenges, and implications of media product portfolios. This book breaks new ground by introducing the concepts of product portfolio management and applying them to media companies in a comprehensive manner. It draws from knowledge and methods of analyzing product portfolio management in other industries, applies that knowledge to media industries, and analyzes current practices in media firms. The process and issues of portfolio strategy, development, and management are complex and wide ranging. The book explores the development of media product portfolios from an interdisciplinary perspective, providing insight from business, economic, organizational, and communication approaches. The book explores why and how firms develop portfolios, how company strategy and organizational development relate to portfolios, the role of leaders in developing portfolio activities, economic and economic geography issues in portfolios, production issues, challenges in managing multiple products and operations, issues of marketing and branding issues in portfolios, personnel implications, and the unique challenges in the internationalization of media portfolio operations.

Book Description
This book describes in detail how ARIS methods model and identify business processes by means of the UML (Unified Modeling Language), leading to an information model that serves as the basis for a systematic and intelligent development of application systems. Multiple real-world examples using SAP R/3 illustrate aspects of business process modeling including methods of knowledge management, implementation of workflow systems and standard software solutions, and the deployment of ARIS methods.

Book Description
The changing manufacturing environment requires more responsive and adaptable manufacturing systems. The theme of the 4th International Conference on Changeable, Agile, Reconfigurable and Virtual production (CARV2011) is “Enabling Manufacturing Competitiveness and Economic Sustainability”. Leading edge research and best implementation practices and experiences, which address these important issues and challenges, are presented. The proceedings include advances in manufacturing systems design, planning, evaluation, control and evolving paradigms such as mass customization, personalization, changeability, re-configurability and flexibility. New and important concepts such as the dynamic product families and platforms, co-evolution of products and systems, and methods for enhancing manufacturing systems’ economic sustainability and prolonging their life to produce more than one product generation are treated. Enablers of change in manufacturing systems, production volume and capability scalability and managing the volatility of markets, competition among global enterprises and the increasing complexity of products, manufacturing systems and management strategies are discussed. Industry challenges and future directions for research and development needed to help both practitioners and academicians are presented.

Book Description
In today’s dynamic business world, the success of a company increasingly depends on its ability to react to changes in its environment in a quick and flexible way. Companies have therefore identified process agility as a competitive advantage to address business trends like increasing product and service variability or faster time to market, and to ensure business IT alignment. Along this trend, a new generation of information systems has emerged—so-called process-aware information systems (PAIS), like workflow management systems, case handling tools, and service orchestration engines. With this book, Reichert and Weber address these flexibility needs and provide an overview of PAIS with a strong focus on methods and technologies fostering flexibility for all phases of the process lifecycle (i.e., modeling, configuration, execution and evolution). Their presentation is divided into six parts. Part I starts with an introduction of fundamental PAIS concepts and establishes the context of process flexibility in the light of practical scenarios. Part II focuses on flexibility support for pre-specified processes, the currently predominant paradigm in the field of business process management (BPM). Part III details flexibility support for loosely specified processes, which only partially specify the process model at build-time, while decisions regarding the exact specification of certain model parts are deferred to the run-time. Part IV deals with user- and data-driven processes, which aim at a tight integration of processes and data, and hence enable an increased flexibility compared to traditional PAIS. Part V introduces existing technologies and systems for the realization of a flexible PAIS. Finally, Part VI summarizes the main ideas of this book and gives an outlook on advanced flexibility issues. The book’s target groups include researchers, PhD students and Master students in the field of information systems. After reading the book, they will better understand PAIS flexibility aspects. To support the easy use as a textbook, a series of exercises is provided at the end of each chapter and slides and further teaching material are available on the book’s web site www.flexible-processes.com. Professionals specializing in business process management (BPM) who want to obtain a good understanding of flexibility challenges in BPM and state-of-the-art solutions will also benefit from the presentations of open source as well as commercial process management systems and related practical scenarios.
