Abstract

In the proposal, a flexible business process management axed on the objective concept and for the process lifecycle is presented. The main feature of this approach is that the map model is used as the key element to drive the construction and execution of flexible business processes. An analysis phase starts with a model which fully considers the objective and sub-objectives of the business process, when defining it. A design phase uses the map model for specifying and representing the possible plans that are capable of achieving the predefined objective and this will be done in a modular manner. Examples are presented from a case study in the travel agency Numédia. The architecture of the execution engine for, so defined, business process map modeling is presented for its interpretation and its execution. Finally, an evaluation of the degree of flexibility brought by proposed management is given.
