Abstract
A major challenge faced by organizations is to better capture business strategies into products and services at an ever-increasing pace as the business environment constantly evolves. We propose a novel methodology base on a Business Process Line (BPL) engineering approach to inject flexibility into process modeling phase and promote reuse and flexibility by selection. Moreover we suggest a decision-table (DT) formalism for eliciting, tracking and managing the relationships among business needs, environmental changes and process tasks. In a real case study we practiced the proposed methodology by leveraging the synergy of feature models, variability mechanisms and decision tables. The application of DT-based BPL engineering approach proves that the Business Process Line benefits from fundamental concepts like composition, reusability and adaptability and satisfies the requirements for process definition flexibility.
