Abstract:

The BPR (Business process reengineering) is one of the most adopted and popular methods for introducing changes in the enterprise. It is defined as the fundamental rethinking and the radical redesign of the enterprise business processes (BPs). To support BPR projects in the company, several methodologies are proposed which are sharing one common and hard task of deciding which business process modelling techniques (BPMTs) to use in order to diagnose and redesign these business processes. A generic approach is proposed by Jamel (2007) in order to offer simple and clear guidelines to the modeler, who is responsible of the BPs modeling task, to choose the appropriate BPMT (Business Process Modeling Technique) to be adopted during the diagnose and the redesign BPR steps. This approach is based upon a meta-model for reengineering BPs, and a MAP for modeling the selection operation of BPMTs. Although the several approach benefits, developing new model for redesigned BP or for the new proposed ones, remains a hard ad difficult task to conduct by the modeler who is not supposed to have a large experience on all existing modeling techniques or on model transformation field rules. In this work, we propose a metamodel in order to integrate model transformation in BPR projects. This metamodel is an improvement of the (Jamel, 2007) approach mentioned above. It deals with model transformation knowledge’s according to BPR context.
