“…Browning and Ramasesh reviewed PD process models in this area; Wynn and Clarkson provided another recent review. These models account for key differences between PD and general business processes, such as: (1) the intent to do something new, once (e.g., design a product) rather than the same thing repeatedly (e.g., take an order, assemble a product, provide a service); (2) the primacy of information as the basis for activity dependencies; (3) the highly cross‐functional and transdisciplinary nature of integrated PD; (4) the greater propensity for parallel, overlapping activities (concurrent engineering); (5) the conditions of higher uncertainty and ambiguity; and (6) the need for greater flexibility and agility in process planning and execution . Although the PD process modeling literature still has much to learn from the general BPM literature (and vice versa), the distinct characteristics of PD processes argue for basing an approach to building PD process models mainly on this second stream.…”

The process for designing and developing complex system products-all of the activities performed and the information and other work products produced-is essential to innovative and competitive enterprises. This process is dynamic, complex, and complicated, and the people who understand it best are in short supply and may not be around for the next project. For a variety of reasons, models of this process are important to systems engineers and managers. A 2006 paper in this journal discussed key concepts in modeling product development (PD) processes. This paper follows by presenting a general approach to building PD process models, integrative process modeling (IPM), which support a wide variety of purposes, such as providing evidence for external certifications, planning projects and programs, and more-but especially serving as a salient repository for crucial organizational information. Although a centralized team of modeling experts leads the overall IPM endeavor, distributed agents define various processes and activities, thereby capturing PD information across very large organizations. The paper discusses management of the model-building project and subsequent operations, as well as software tool support and model storage. A collection of helpful heuristics guides IPM to help organizations improve the long-term value provided by PD process modeling.

“…Many attempts have been made to develop a standard for creating business process models, the most successful of which is the integrated definition (IDEF) . This method originated in 1981 as a part of the U.S. Air Force program for integrated computer‐aided manufacturing (ICAM) . IDEF is a graphical language that identifies the functions that are performed, the different elements required to perform these functions, and the efficiency of the analyzed system .…”

Addressing schedule disruptions in business processes of advanced logistics systems

Large-scale logistics systems operate under uncertainties of schedule, cost, environmental impacts, reliability, and others rendering it critical for system operations to consider emergent and future conditions involving markets, technologies, environment, and organizations. Business process modeling is used widely to document the activities of an enterprise. Successful analysis of business processes requires explicit accounting for and evaluation of sources of potential disruptive risk. Previous research in the journal integrated risk identification to business process models. This paper creates a framework that evaluates the schedule disruption potential of identified sources of risk in logistics systems with the modeling of the associated business processes. The framework is demonstrated on a scheduling process at a marine container port. The methods first described in this paper should be integrated to software applications that diagram and analyze business processes of large-scale systems.
