“…Developed and further modified by Daim et al (2013), this prioritization approach is critically important as it Green business process management will help organize the factors enabling GBPM integration. It is appropriate for evaluating and prioritizing business processes (Lau et al, 2016;Gallego et al, 2015;Lankarani and Asadi, 2012;Mehrajunnisa and Jabeen, 2020;Veit et al, 2017). Developed by Saaty (2008), the AHP model is highly recommended for performing complex decisions that incorporate comparing elements, which are otherwise quite challenging to quantify.…”

PurposeThe integration of green business process management (GBPM) to the existing processes of the oil and gas companies (O&G) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries can lower environmental damage in the O&G sector (OGS), which causes more environmental hazards than other sectors. Studies suggest that sustainability remains a challenge for GCC O&G companies. In this context, this study assesses the following enablers and subenablers related to GBPM integration in these companies: strategy, management, people and culture, information technology, methods and governance.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from a survey of 12 strategy experts from four GCC O&G companies and the analytical hierarchy process, this study prioritized the key enablers and subenablers driving GBPM.FindingsStrategy was the highest-ranked enabler, followed by management; governance was the lowest-ranked enabler. Measuring green metrics was the highest-priority strategy enabler, and revising responsibilities and management involvement in strategy development were the highest-priority sub-enablers.Practical implicationsThis study recommends O&G companies to invest in optimizing the existing BPM to enhance process-based decision-making, before GBPM integration. The formation of sustainability groups can bring enablers together to improve sustainability performance. Management and governments must reevaluate their commitment to sustainability while developing policies for the GCC OGS.Originality/valueThis study investigated which enablers and subenablers significantly affect GBPM integration in the sector; the results can support researchers and practitioners with the necessary knowledge for future developments.

“…Both the experts and the people from the planning department had difficulty understanding the model due to the high cognitive load and information present in the diagram generated. As reported in (Gallego et al, 2015), the researchers formulated an intervention to the original specification of the model to facilitate understanding by the business experts. This clearly shows the emergence of quality issues such as expressiveness, understandability, completeness, and appropriateness of the models.…”

Software Quality Journal. 1-66. doi:10.1007/s11219-016-9350-6. Considerations about quality in model-driven engineeringCurrent state and challenges.Fáber D. Giraldo · Sergio España · Oscar Pastor · William J. GiraldoReceived: date / Accepted: date Abstract The virtue of quality is not itself a subject; it depends on a subject. In the software engineering field, quality means good software products that meet customer expectations, constraints, and requirements. Despite the numerous approaches, methods, descriptive models and tools, that have been developed, a level of consensus has been reached by software practitioners. However, in the modeldriven engineering (MDE) field, which has emerged from software engineering paradigms, quality continues to be a great challenge since the subject is not fully defined. The use of models alone is not enough to manage all of the quality issues at the modelling language level.In this work, we present the current state and some relevant considerations regarding quality in MDE, by identifying current categories in quality conception and by highlighting quality issues in real applications of the model-driven initiatives.We identified sixteen categories in the definition of quality in MDE. From this identification, by applying an adaptive sampling approach, we discovered the five most influential authors for the works that propose definitions of quality. These include (in order): the OMG standards (e.g., MDA, UML, MOF, OCL, SysML), the ISO standards for software quality models (e.g., 9126 and 25000), Krogstie, Lindland, and Moody. We also discovered families of works about quality, i.e., works that belong to the same author or topic.Seventy-three works were found with evidence of the mismatch between the academic/research field of quality evaluation of modelling languages and actual MDE practice in industry. We demonstrate that this field does not currently solve quality issues reported in industrial scenarios. The evidence of the mismatch was grouped in eight categories, four for academic/research evidence and four for industrial reports. These categories were detected based on the scope proposed in each one of the academic/research works and from the questions and issues raised by real practitioners.We then proposed a scenario to illustrate quality issues in a real information system project in which multiple modelling languages were used. For the evaluation of the quality of this MDE scenario, we chose one of the most cited and influential quality frameworks; it was detected from the information obtained in the identification of the categories about quality definition for MDE. We demonstrated that the selected framework falls short in addressing the quality issues. Finally, based on the findings, we derive eight challenges for quality evaluation in MDE projects that current quality initiatives do not address sufficiently.
