Business Process Engineering Reference Models for Industrial Enterprises

Once the decision has been made to introduce lean management, the task of actually reengineering the organization's business processes will involve months or even years of work and study. This book affords researchers, users and students valuable assistance in implementing new organizational concepts through the employment of new information processing techniques. The structure of the book follows the business processes of logistics, product development, information and coordination, and offers detailed examples of how outdated organizational structures can be reengineered. The portrayals are embedded in the proven "Architecture of Integrated Information Systems" (ARIS) and emphasize an holistic view of the problem through function, data and process models. At the same time, it shows how design specifications can be employed to translate requirements definitions into concrete system implementations.Scheer, August-Wilhelm is the author of 'Business Process Engineering Reference Models for Industrial Enterprises' with ISBN 9780387582344 and ISBN 0387582347.
