Business Process Management Device for Reusable Work Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing business process management systems struggle to effectively reuse and utilize accumulated business processes, as they lack the ability to identify and extract reusable components from existing processes, leading to inefficient manual processes and difficulty in determining reusable parts.
Innovation Solution
A business process management device and method that utilizes an information processing device to manage business processes by acquiring current and new business process data, identifying similar business process candidates, selecting reuse target similar business processes, and identifying reusable works within a work unit, thereby enabling effective reuse of accumulated business processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If business processes are accumulated without structured data preparation, then the volume of available processes increases, but the ability to reuse and effectively utilize them deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments business processes into discrete work units with standardized data structures. Each business process is broken down into individual works that can be independently identified, stored, and reused. This segmentation enables the system to manage large volumes of accumulated processes while maintaining ease of retrieval and reuse through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms unstructured business process information into structured data with specific parameters and formats. By standardizing how business process data is prepared and stored, the system enables automated comparison and identification of reusable processes, converting the challenge of data volume into an opportunity for efficient retrieval.
2Device complexity
If business processes are managed as complete units, then the simplicity of management is maintained, but the ability to identify and reuse specific parts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides business processes into work units that represent functional components. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simple management of complete processes while simultaneously enabling detailed analysis and identification of reusable parts within those processes, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and detectability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts specific works from complete business processes and stores them as separate, identifiable units. This extraction enables the system to present complete processes for simple management while allowing users to identify and reuse specific extracted works, effectively separating the management view from the reuse view.
3Device complexity
If manual methods are used to find reusable parts, then the need for complex automated systems is avoided, but the productivity and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a system where the business process data itself contains the necessary structure and metadata for automated identification. The standardized data preparation enables the system to self-identify reusable works without requiring complex external analysis tools, achieving high productivity through relatively simple automated mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual human skills and judgment with automated computer-based identification. By structuring business process data in a standardized format, the system enables automated algorithms to identify reusable works, substituting mechanical automation for manual processes and significantly improving productivity.
4Measurement precision
If detailed work-level data is prepared for all business processes, then the precision of reuse identification is improved, but the data preparation complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes standardized parameters and data structures for business process information. This standardization enables precise identification of reusable works while keeping data preparation manageable through consistent formatting rules, resolving the contradiction between precision and preparation complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data structure that serves multiple functions: it enables precise identification of reusable works, maintains simplicity of management, and supports automated processing. This multi-functional standardized structure reduces the need for separate complex preparation processes for different precision requirements.

AI summary
A business process management device acquires current business process data and new business process information, and identifies a similar business process candidate from an accumulated business process data group based on current business process information, the new business process information, and business process information. The business process management device identifies an insufficient work based on current work information and new work information. The business process management device selects a reuse target similar business process from the similar business process candidates, and identifies, from the selected reuse target similar business process, a work that can be applied to an insufficient work of a new business process as a reuse target.
