A Case Study on Designing Business Processes Based on Collaborative and Mining approaches

Abstract: Companies invest a significant amount of time and resources to discover and represent how they work into business processes models. However, traditional process mapping has been done in an ad hoc manner and tends to be resource-intensive and time-consuming due to the informal and ambiguous collection of process information. The Story Mining Method aims to address those problems by the union of free-form narratives about processes and the usage of Text Mining and Natural Language techniques for text translation into process models. This paper presents a case study of the method, detailing its implementation as well as major issues found on a practical scenario within an organization.

Furthermore, they also play an important role in bridging the business domain to the Information Technology (IT) domain, representing a fundamental tool for IT architecture planning and ServiceOriented Architecture implementation.

Realization: DeWys Manufacturing is a precision sheet metal fabrication company that supplies the manufacturing industry with assembly components.

In recent years, however, although the company was able to get to the table frequently with prospects, it often lost most of these new business opportunities due to price. A tremendous amount of time and expense was being incurred chasing and estimating potential business, and the reasons why the company could land some prospects but lose most others was unclear.
