Abstract

Flexibility and acceleration of development, planning and production processes is very important for the industry. This paper describes how workflow-technology can support this requirements. It shows how to develop and transform common business process models to executable workflow models using a structured procedural model. The validation has taken place and will be shown on two fields of industrial applications: an engineering data analysis process in the semiconductor manufacturing and a customer service process in the steel production. The main items of the work are based on a framework of model-based business process management which is developed in the research project “Business Process Engineering with integrated Process and Product Models“. Further information about the project is available at http://www.siemens.de/zt_pp/gipp/ and http://www.iwi.uni-sb.de/gipp/.
