Process Life Cycle Engineering: A Knowledge-Based Approach and Environment
Walt Scacchi, Peiwei Mi · Intelligent systems in accounting, finance and management/Intelligent systems in accounting, finance & management · 1997
We describe our approach and mechanisms to support the engineering of organizational processes throughout their life cycle, and our current understanding of what activities are included in the process life cycle. We then go on to discuss our approach, computational mechanisms, and experiences in supporting many of these life cycle activities, as well as compare it to other related efforts. Along the way, we present examples drawn from a recent study that uses the approach and the mechanisms of our knowledge-based process engineering environment to support the (re)engineering of corporate financial operations in a mid-size consumer products organization.© 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
