Excerpt from Process Grammars: A Generative Approach to Process Redesign
In this paper, I will describe a new research initiative that is directed at helping organizations to deal with this problem. The Process Handbook (malone, Crowston, Lee and Pentland, 1993) is an innovative approach to the representation and analysis of business processes.1 Still in the early stages of development, the Process Handbook uses representational techniques from computer science to provide a vehicle for describing, analyzing, and redesigning a wide variety of organizational processes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Process Handbook in terms of an underlying grammatical model (pentland, forthcoming) and to show how it can be used to generate new designs for organizational processes. I Will illustrate the concepts embodied in theprocess Handbook and their application through the example of one particularly important kind of business process: the supply chain (lee and Billington, 1992.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book combines three concepts from computer science to create a taxonomy of processes: decomposition, specialization, and dependencies. A process decomposition can be achieved by listing the "steps" or "activities" needed to complete the overall process, and is a universal aspect of any method of process description. The specialization of processes suggests that elements of the taxonomy are intended for a purpose, and an important property of this kind of taxonomic representation is that each element inherits features from its parents. An important aspect of this book is the representation of dependencies between the parts of a process, which are an important kind of relationship between steps because they imply the need for coordination and constraints on the ways in which a process may be re-designed. The author describes how this grammatical model can be used to generate new designs for organizational processes.
