Application of P-graph-based workflow for administrative process modeling

Abstract

The cost effective and error free management solution of the complex business processes as well as the solution's efficiency rate are corner points in the life of profit — and non-profit — oriented organizations and institutions, since the optimal efficiency of the complicated office-automation processes is of primary economic interest. Workflow is the most widespread modeling technique application in the field of office information systems. This paper introduces a new extension of the P-graph-based workflow modeling. The new model, apart from the management of the process-structure, enables the management of the input, temporary, and output documents, is capable of the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the necessary and available resources, as well as the management of the resource- and other type of constraints and other bottlenecks.
