Process Management
Business Process
four perspectives: deterministic machines; complex dynamic systems; interacting feedback loops; social constructs. across functions within a firm - across firms in a supply chain

Business Process Re-engineering (BPR)


use the power of modern information technology to radically redesign our business processes in order to achieve dramatic improvements in their performance. (Hammer 1990)

Business Process Modeling (BPM)


the techniques for charactering and analyzing business processes

Business Process Management (BPM)


support business processes using methods, techniques, and software to design, enact, control, and analyze operational processes involving humans, organizations, applications, documents and other sources of information. ( Aalst, Hofstede, Weske 2003)

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)


delegate one or more information technology (IT)-intensive business processes to an external provider that, in turn, owns, administers and manages the processes based on defined and measurable performance metrics. (Gartner) 10

Process Management
Summary
Process Management is hot word in practices, but few academic publications. Most articles describe how to implement BPR/BPM. Existing process models of spare parts management map internal processes and are rough. Processes may be interrupted by diefferent systems. Information are delayed and /or missed.

Problem:
Unique or common processes across companies and industries? Customized or standard IT- Enabler? How can the standards help process management in spare parts management?
