“…Another is the use of enactable models that allow walkthroughs (Abeysinghe and Urand, 1999), but these are in an early stage of development. One candidate for this is IDEFO, but its lack of contextualization and its rigorous, detailed development procedure may well inhibit its widespread acceptance in the construction industry.…”

Process mapping and benchmarking are becoming widely recognized as important management tools for understanding how value is delivered for customers, and their use in the construction industry is growing rapidly. Influenced by research on design project management, and the requirements of developing inter-firm IT systems, this work has focused renewed attention on the role of process protocols. The aim of this paper is to explore empirically the use of process maps and protocols within one retail client with a large programme of retail development projects.Process mapping, process protocol, benchmarking, key performance indicators, retail clients,

This paper introduces a system prototype, the construction business automation system, for modeling and automating construction business processes by using workflow and object technologies. Construction management tasks are developed as distributed internet applications for supporting reusability of software components, simplifying process modeling, and automating business processes. The development of the prototype has resulted in the following technologies: ͑1͒ the object-oriented reusable component technology for modeling construction management tasks; ͑2͒ the construction business process modeler based on the task based modeling methodology; ͑3͒ the request driving methodology for raising business requests and instantiating corresponding process instances; and ͑4͒ the supporting technology for interacting with a commercial workflow engine ͑e.g., i-Flow͒ for executing business process instances. A purchasing process is used as an example to illustrate these related topics and the applicability of the methodologies in construction business automation.
