Bridging Business Value Models and Process Models in Aviation Value Webs via Possession Rights

Abstract

While exploring value webs -cooperating enterprises-it is common to view such webs from multiple perspectives:(1) the business value perspective, (2) the business process perspective, and (3) the information system perspective. The value perspective explains why a web can exist from a commercial perspective, whereas the process perspective shows the interacting processes of enterprises and the IT perspectives shows the supporting IT architecture. These perspectives each take a different view on the same phenomenon: the value web. Because the phenomenon is for each viewpoint the same the perspectives need to be consistent. This paper introduces an approach to arrive at a business process model of a value web that is consistent with a business value model of the same value web. We propose a step-wise approach that starts with considering the independent transfer of ownership right of a value object and the actual object itself, and finally considers time ordering of these transfers. We illustrate our approach using an industrial strength case study in the aviation sector.

Strategic Alignment of Business Processes

“…e 3 is used to model the value proposition of activities in the business, modeling includes meta-model structures and the relation and use of Use Case Maps within an e 3 value constellation. Throughout his work [5,11,[76][77][78][79][80]109,161,162] Gordijn has created a complete ontology for providing descriptions of various value modeling including syntactic restrictions on the use of linking between actors and activities. The work on e 3 value models is focused mainly in the space of knowledge representation and little on reasoning about action.…”

Describing Services for Service Ecosystems

“…For example, the price property refers to a price strategy, and price values refer to a specific strategy, such as Porter's generic price strategies. Suitable models for this perspective are the business model ontology [19,25] and the service bundle [22].…”

From Business Value Model to Coordination Process Model

“…Hence, they try to produce one from the other (mostly a coordination process model from a business value model) so that in the end both models be consistent with each other [9,10,11]. Pijpers and Gordijn proposed a method that makes an intermediate model (e 3 transition model) based on the business value model by extending it with independent transfers of ownership rights of an object and the actual object itself.…”
