Common BOP Process Modeling for Cross-System Model Synthesis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing process model creation systems require significant man-hours to generate models, as each business system needs a separate process model generation function, and the differing data structures and granularity of business processes complicate comparison and integration.
Innovation Solution
A process model creation system that includes a data structure conversion unit to convert each business system's data into a common BOP (Bill of Process) data structure, a model generation unit that creates adapter models from this common data structure, and a process model synthesis unit that extracts differences between adapter models to generate a synthesis process model.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate process model generation functions are prepared for each business system, then each business system can be managed independently, but the man-hours required for generating process models increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal process model generation function that can handle multiple business systems through a common BOP data structure. Instead of having separate generation functions for each business system, a single unified function processes data from all business systems by converting them to the standard BOP format, thereby reducing development and maintenance man-hours while maintaining independent management capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a common BOP (Bill of Process) data structure as an intermediary layer between different business systems and the process model generation function. This intermediary standardizes data from various business systems into a unified format, enabling a single generation function to process multiple business systems without requiring separate functions for each
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate process models are created for each business system, then each system's specific requirements are met, but comparison and integration of process models across systems becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enforces homogeneity by requiring all business systems to conform to a common BOP data structure. This standardization ensures that process models from different business systems have consistent formats, making comparison and integration straightforward while still allowing each system to meet its specific requirements through the flexibility of the BOP structure
3Adaptability or versatility
If individual generation functions are developed for each business system, then customization to specific business needs is achieved, but the complexity of maintaining and updating models increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal process model generation function that serves all business systems through a common interface and data structure. This single function can be customized and updated once, and the changes automatically apply to all business systems, eliminating the need to maintain separate generation functions for each system and significantly reducing maintenance complexity
