20080208660 | System and Method for Analyzing and Managing Business Performance - A system and method for analyzing and managing business performance by designing and evaluating the performance of a business process model comprising a flow of business tasks and artifact sources that generate business artifacts. Business processes may be parsed to identify transformation opportunities meeting transformation conditions specified in a transformation knowledge. One or more identified transformation opportunities may be adopted, and parts of the process may be transformed according to transformation rules specified in a transformation knowledge. Analytics and computer simulation may be employed to evaluate business performance metrics of each of said transformed business processes. Iterative changes may be made to said business processes to manage business performance, reiterating transformation and evaluation steps until a satisfactory business process model is obtained. The resulting output is finally produced as a business process model in machine-readable format and can be deployed to a business environment. | 08-28-2008 |
20090043618 | Work Management System, Work Management System Construction Support Service, Control Method and Program - [Object] Even when multiple work processes depending on one another progress in parallel, it is possible to appropriately manage the progress of the whole work that includes these work processes. | 02-12-2009 |
20090112663 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BUSINESS PROCESS TRANSFORMATION WIZARD - A computer implemented method and a computer system implementing the method of a business process transformation wizard leads a business analyst through a series of steps to invoke business transformation patterns, in order to analyze the results of those processes. The wizard first prompts the business analyst to specify business objectives of process transformation. Required parameters are added to the business process model guided by the business process transformation wizard until the business process model is completed. Once the model is completed, the wizard prompts the business analyst to select transformation techniques or patterns for optimizing process parameters and, for each selected transformation pattern, optimizes process parameters using a selected optimization technique. The wizard also prompts the business analyst to select transformation patterns for optimizing topology of the business process and, for each selected transformation pattern, optimizes topology for the business process using a selected optimization technique. | 04-30-2009 |
20090119632 | METHOD FOR SUPPORTING DETERMINATION OF DESIGN PROCESS ORDER - A system and method which support determination of a design process order. The system includes: a storage device that stores constraint data indicating a strength of a constraint that is given to a respective design process from a respective of the other design processes; a detection unit that accesses the storage device to detect, from the constraint data, a loop of relationships concerning a design process receiving a constraint from another design process; a selection unit that accesses the storage device to select, from the detected loop, a pair capable of canceling the loop when the pair is deleted and having a minimum total constraint strength; and an output unit that deletes the selected constraint pair from the constraint data and outputs data indicating a constraint that is to be satisfied by each design process. | 05-07-2009 |
