| Summary | 0003358: BPM engine (workflow) | ||||||||||
| Description | ==== Workflow rational ========= It seems that adding workflow capabilities to any ERP is a MUST in todays enterprise applications. A workflow allows to include tracking and cooperating features to any task that an ERP has to fulfill. Workflow is a well known technology/design artifact that allows the following: 1) Legal (SOX, LISI, ...) 2) Enterprise (who is doing what?, what needs to be done, how many thing are still left, who did that?, ...) 3) Cooperation (how to partition tasks that are to be done by a team of distributed people?) 4) Allow to implement and support Business Process Re-engineering 5) A workflow is understood by both business and technical people and, therefore, is a good comunication mechanism 6) Implementation: Allows a very precise and fast configuration of an ERP to cope with the operational needs of any company. Just identify/design and configure the business processes of the company. ====== Workflow types ========= There are different workflow types: 1) Document centered: set of activities that need to be done around a document to reach an objective (e.g. invoice approval processing). It involves a SINGLE document. 2) Task centered: set of activities needed to achieve a goal. E.g. a purchase. It involves a purchase order, approved and issued, an invoice, approved, registered, accounted and paid. It involves a set of documents. In both cases, the workflow has states, transitions, roles/permissions, history... The difference is that the base element is either a document or a "task" definition. What we need in OB is a "Task centered" approach. Some other people also points to task to be performed by people or by the system (i.e. batch processing). I think this is not so relevant and just means that there are different actors involved in a task. Some humans (e.g. approve an invoice) some machine (e.g. send a notification). It would be better to have a generalised workflow where the actors could be both human and machine (as is normally the case). | ||||||||||
