CGAA/EES at NEC corporation, powered by S-BPM: The subject-oriented BPM development technique using top-down approach

Abstract

It is not that difficult to visualize business processes as a model and execute them using today's BPMS products. However, it is difficult for a worker at a work site to simply and clearly model processes to be executed, and then express with certainty the business scenario within the entire company's activities to which those processes are related. In addition, a shorter cycle for continuous BPM improvement activity is strongly desired, where the model is improved from results gathered as processes based on that model are executed. The "CGAA/EES development methodology" developed by NEC provides an overall optimization solution that overcomes these issues by bringing a top-down approach to subject-oriented BPM. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
