Summary Excerpt Details

Konventionelles Workflow Management beschränkt sich auf die Verbesserung der Effizienz von Geschäftsprozessen innerhalb einer Organisation. Jedoch sollten Prozesse auch dann elektronisch unterstützt werden können, wenn sie organisationale Grenzen überschreiten, wie z.B. in virtuellen Unternehmen.

Wegen der speziellen Eigenschaften von interorganisationalen Workflows kann konventionelle Workflow Technologie nicht direkt angewendet werden. Die wichtigste Anforderung an interorganisationale Workflow Systeme ist klarerweise, Interoperabilität zwischen heterogenen Systemen zu erreichen. Sehr wichtig sind auch Vertraulichkeit der internen Prozesse und Sicherheit.

Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit gibt eine Einführung in interorganisationales Workflow Management, seine Aspekte und Konzepte. Anforderungen an interorganisationale Workflow Systeme werden ausgearbeitet und die wichtigsten Ansätze, Projekte und Initiativen werden beschrieben: XML-basierte Ansätze, die Standards der WfMC, elektronische Marktplätze und elektronische Verträge.

Eine Evaluierung dieser Ansätze anhand eines Kriterienkatalogs, der aus den Anforderungen und anderen Eigenschaften der Ansätze abgeleitet wird, zeigt die verschiedenen Stärken und Schwächen. Die XML-basierten Ansätze bieten Standards für die Schnittstellen der Prozesse und eine gute Lösung bzgl. Heterogenität. Manche von ihnen ermöglichen sogar die spontane Zusammenarbeit mit neuen Geschäftspartnern ohne vorherige Absprache. Traditioneller elektronischer Datenaustausch (EDI) ist vom Prinzip her ähnlich, hat aber viele Nachteile. Die Standards der WfMC ermöglichen einen sehr geringen Aufwand bei der Systemintegration, wenn sich die Anbieter daran halten. Aber Vertraulichkeit und Sicherheit sind potentielle Problemfelder und nur einfache Kooperationsmodelle werden unterstützt. Elektronische Marktplätze und elektronische Verträge sind ideal, wenn die Anzahl der Geschäftspartner hoch ist oder die Geschäftspartner abhängig von der jeweiligen Situation dynamisch gewählt werden sollen. Dazu müssen deren Services aber leicht vergleichbar sein und einfache Schnittstellen haben.

  • Exploring how interorganizational workflows can enhance business efficiency

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The first chapter introduces the concept of workflow management, exploring its requirements, various aspects of modeling, analysis, enactment, and architecture. It also delves into limitations of conventional workflow management. Chapter 2 delves into the world of interorganizational workflows, analyzing how they extend beyond traditional workflow management by addressing processes that cross organizational boundaries. It explores the various concepts of task assignment, control flow, and data flow specific to interorganizational scenarios. This chapter also presents a business scenario demonstrating the complexities of interorganizational workflows and discusses the partitioning of workflows to manage these complexities. It concludes by examining models of workflow interoperability, such as centralized process management, chained subprocesses, nested subprocesses, and transaction groups. The different models are evaluated based on their strengths and weaknesses, providing valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of interorganizational workflow management.
