Industry Watch: CIMS-based ERP and business workflow application
In order to obtain the global knowledge-based economy many businesses take the initiative in strengthening the business information construction, the implementation of CIMS, MRPII, and ERP projects, strengthen the information construction, in order to improve their management level, and enhance its ability to respond to market competition. Based on ERP and CIMS business workflow technology is to ensure reliable operation of the system the key to the success of technology for research in this area will help determine a reasonable and efficient service delivery channels, improve the overall operating efficiency. In this paper, based on ERP and business CIMS application of workflow technology.
A business process re-design
Various aspects of the business process structure model of the whole is divided into four categories:
(1) That the business processes of the open-loop structure;
(2) That has the parallel open-loop structure;
(3) That has a closed-loop feedback structure;
(4) That has a parallel, and with the closed-loop feedback structure. Based on the above four categories structure and conventions of the business process re-design rules, outlined enterprise business processes.
Business process design ideas from the top down, using a structured, modular approach to design and system analysis, functional classification, and data definitions and data standardization, and thus construct suitable for CIMS corporate ERP and business process systems.
Workflow based on the methods and means of transmission of information to construct a corporate business processes. After a serious argument based on the design of enterprise business processes optimization and reorganization of a good following a company's "new product development process," as an example. Each process is divided into several phases, known as the working procedures, which produced initial results, each program has produced and the use of specific information, the formation of information recording, called the information number. "New product development process" for example, by the following program components: the pre-research project procedures, the concept of research and development programs, pre-study programs, pre-study review process, scientific research project procedures, project implementation procedures, identification of assessment procedures and results of scientific research applications composed of decision-making process. Each program represents a phase of the work content or task. Pre-research project in which the procedures and the concept of the relationship between R & D program is in parallel, followed by the once-carry relationship.
Business workflow modeling structure
According to the information flow to build out the company's business processes, you need to carry out structural modeling of the process to facilitate work flow analysis. Workflow in a given structure, each task node of the following three kinds of relations:
(1) 'and' relationship, (2) 'or' relationship, (3) 'conditional or' relationship.
