Compliance scopes: Extending the BPMN 2.0 meta model to specify compliance requirements

Abstract

Compliance of business processes is becoming increasingly important in the domain of business process design. Despite that, human process designers must be able to concentrate on the business goals which a business process needs to fulfil. Compliance aspects of the business process should not be in the main focus of the human process designer during the development phase. Therefore, tools must support human process designers in developing compliant business processes. In this paper we introduce the concept of compliance scopes. Compliance scopes are areas in a business process where certain compliance conditions must hold. These conditions are attached to the compliance scopes. Compliance scopes can be applied to existing business process models as well as to process templates. In this way compliance rules are applied to certain areas of a business process. During design time, compliance scopes can be used in graphical workbenches to evaluate modifications to business processes

Recipe Development Process Re-Design with ANSI/ISA-88 Batch Control Standard in the Pharmaceutical Industry

“…In each case, this cycle of improvement activities must be supported by a consistent graphical notation, capable of correctly representing the main subjects, events, activities and process rooting. Business Process Model Notation (BPMN 2.0) is considered one of the most efficient standards [33,39] [40]. The following paragraphs explain why such a process oriented approach and flow-chart technique were chosen for the proposed methodology, highlighting the advantages obtained in the case study while assessing the ANSI/ISA-88 compliance.…”

“…Process modelling, as many publications confirm [29,30,31,32,33], is currently becoming a cornerstone for operational efficiency and process improvement projects, regardless of the industry sector to which it is applied. Adopting a process oriented approach and using a visual representation ensures a better control of performance and enables the detection of those existing inefficiencies that are hardly recognizable.…”

“…In each case, this cycle of improvement activities must be supported by a consistent graphical notation, capable of correctly representing the main subjects, events, activities and process rooting. Business Process Model Notation (BPMN 2.0) is considered one of the most efficient standards [33, 39] to represent in a graphical way a varied range of business and service processes. BPMN is an intuitive notation, suitable also for non-technicians figures, but capable of either representing complex process semantics or easing B2B and internal coordination.…”

Collection and Elicitation of Business Process Compliance Patterns with Focus on Data Aspects

“…Organizations in many industrial sectors are required to manage their business processes in accordance with regulations, laws, controls, and other industrial specific constraints, referred to as Business process compliance (BPC) (Rinderle-Ma and Kabicher-Fuchs 2016; Schleicher et al 2010). The financial sector, for example, faces far more regulatory constraints since the financial crisis of 2008 that revealed the fragility of the financial system (Awad et al 2015).…”

GenNormas: um processo genérico para a Conformidade Legal de Requisitos na Engenharia de Requisitos

“…Leis têm se tornado uma importante fonte de exigência às organizações, sobretudo quando feitas por departamentos governamentais. As empresas devem considerar tais exigências, interpretá-las e determinar como seus produtos e/ou suas práticas de negócio serão afetadas, buscando a observância legal [Schleicher et al 2010]. Em alguns domínios, como àqueles em que se manipulam informações legalmente privadas, o não cumprimento do caráter legal é extremamente delicado, e pode acarretar sérios problemas, tanto no âmbito legal, quanto no financeiro [Governatori 2010].…”
