Rule based business process optimization

Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of business process optimizations applying rule based Process Model. In this study, business process optimization is utilized through changing business process model with respect to business goals. This is due to that we decompose business goals to sub goals to the extent that desired performance measures have been met in business rules via deciding on alternative scenarios for business rule elements. This contrast with the approach of many researches which optimize business processes in workflow level with respect to cost or time efficiency that neglect business goals. The proposed approach has been implemented in the case of dairy industry to optimize "Milk procurement from producer ". Selection between two scenarios including strict black list and non-strict list for process of "milk reception" investigated in simple optimization problem based on proposed approach. ©2010 IEEE.
