Abstract
Processes and resources management are important current discussions related to decision making in the industrial field. This fact motivates companies to search for management models to improve their processes and services continuously. In order to achieve this purpose, approaches such as Business Process Management (BPM) and Time-Driven Activity-based Costing (TDABC) are used as bases for models design. This article describes the validation process of a software platform constructed using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and TDABC paradigms aimed at analyzing processes costs in assembly companies. This work contemplates a description of the methodologies applied, functionalities implemented and validations steps performed. The platform also serves to generate process diagnosis in assembly companies prior to full BPM implementation.
