Dieses Lehrbuch umfasst den gesamten Lebenszyklus des Geschäftsprozessmanagements (BPM), von der Prozessidentifikation bis zur Prozessüberwachung, und die entsprechenden Schritte der Erhebung, Analyse, Verbesserung und Implementierung von Prozesse. Dabei werden Konzepte, Methoden und Werkzeuge der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, der Informatik und der Ingenieurswissenschaften als Teil eines durchgängigen und interdisziplinären Ansatzes dargestellt. Die Darstellung illustriert die Nutzung der Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), einem weltweit etablierten Standard zur Prozessmodellierung. Neben den konzeptuellen Grundlagen bietet das Buch eine Vielzahl von Beispielen, mehr als 230 Übungen – viele davon mit Musterlösungen – und weitere Empfehlungen für die vertiefende Lektüre. Die vorliegende Ausgabe umfasst viele aktuelle Themen, wie bspw. Prozess-Mining, Prozessautomatisierung mithilfe von BPM-Systemen oder Robotic Process Automation und eine Betrachtung von BPM als strategische Unternehmensfähigkeit. Das Lehrbuch ist das Ergebnis von vielen Jahren Lehr- und Beratungstätigkeit der Autoren. Praktiker als auch Studierende der Informatik und der Betriebswirtschaftslehre werden gleichermaßen von den Konzepten und der Methodik des Buchs profitieren. Dozenten kommen das Lehrformat und die zusätzlichen Unterrichtsmaterialien der begleitenden Webseite zugute.trigger

This textbook covers the entire Business Process Management (BPM) lifecycle, from process identification to process monitoring, covering along the way process modelling, analysis, redesign and automation. Concepts, methods and tools from business management, computer science and industrial engineering are blended into one comprehensive and inter-disciplinary approach. The presentation is illustrated using the BPMN industry standard defined by the Object Management Group and widely endorsed by practitioners and vendors worldwide. In addition to explaining the relevant conceptual background, the book provides dozens of examples, more than 230 exercises – many with solutions – and numerous suggestions for further reading. This second edition includes extended and completely revised chapters on process identification, process discovery, qualitative process analysis, process redesign, process automation and process monitoring. A new chapter on BPM as an enterprise capability has been added, which expands the scope of the book to encompass topics such as the strategic alignment and governance of BPM initiatives. The textbook is the result of many years of combined teaching experience of the authors, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as in the context of professional training. Students and professionals from both business management and computer science will benefit from the step-by-step style of the textbook and its focus on fundamental concepts and proven methods. Lecturers will appreciate the class-tested format and the additional teaching material available on the accompanying website.

A unifying foundation to design and implement process-aware information systems This publication takes on the formidable task of establishing a unifying foundation and set of common underlying principles to effectively model, design, and implement process-aware information systems. Authored by leading authorities and pioneers in the field, Process-Aware Information Systems helps readers gain a thorough understanding of major concepts, languages, and techniques for building process-aware applications, including: * UML and EPCs: two of the most widely used notations for business process modeling * Concrete techniques for process design and analysis * Process execution standards: WfMC and BPEL * Representative commercial tools: ARIS, TIBCO Staffware, and FLOWer Each chapter begins with a description of the problem domain and then progressively unveils relevant concepts and techniques. Examples and illustrations are used extensively to clarify and simplify complex material. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, ranging from simple questions to thought-provoking assignments. Sample solutions for many of the exercises are available on the companion Web site. Armed with a new and deeper understanding, readers are better positioned to make their own contributions to the field and evaluate various approaches to a particular task or problem. This publication is recommended as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in computer science and information systems, as well as for professionals involved in workflow and business process management, groupware and teamwork, enterprise application integration, and business-to-business integration. A Solution's Manual is available online. An Instructor Support FTP site is also available.
