摘要:
Addressed in this paper is a method of integrating a workflow system and simulation technology. It is often conceived that workflow systems are a major tool to support BPR. A key to apply the workflow systems to BPR is how to analyse and evaluate the performance of newly designed processes in advance. A simulation module, called WFSIM, has been developed and interfaced with a workflow system to better support the BPR capability. We demonstrate the workability of translating from a workflow model to a simulation language. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
