    摘要: A plurality of equivalent representations of a process are identified. The process has a plurality of tasks. Each of the representations specifies a different order of the tasks. The plurality of equivalent representations are consolidated into a single representation. The single representation captures, in at least one flexible order grouping, at least two of the tasks that may be performed in more than one order. At least one constraint is specified for the at least one flexible order grouping. Techniques for merging two or more flexible representations are also provided.

    摘要: A method and system for representing one or more families of existing processes in a composite abstraction such that process improvement techniques can be implemented in a more scalable manner. The invention enables abstracting a set of pre-defined process models into a composite model that represents sufficient operational details while being compliant with process improvement techniques such as, but not limited to, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and others (collectively “lean” techniques). The invention provides the ability to flexibly represent the operational and lean-related information in varied abstraction levels at different stages of the process as and when necessary. The invention provides the ability to dynamically generate and represent process models based on user-selected defining characteristics (or attributes) used for process “family” formation. This allows users to define process models based on a set of customized attributes deemed critical by that particular user, including the ability to prioritize the selected attributes.

    摘要: Techniques for generating a target process are provided. The techniques include identifying at least one of one or more steps and one or more artifacts within a target process and one or more other processes, pre-fetching the at least one of one or more atomic steps, one or more decision steps and splits and one or more merges to be used in the target process from the one or more other processes, and associating the at least one of one or more atomic steps, one or more decision steps and splits and one or more merges to be used in the target process at one or more decision points to generate the target process.

    摘要: Problem ticket usage is improved by adding dynamic information to the ticket or using dynamic information to prompt the user or customer for additional information. Two categories of dynamic information are used. In the case where an initial problem ticket involves identification of a problem component the dynamic information is derived from abnormal status of related components, such as components which support the problem component. In the case where an initial problem ticket involves problem symptom information, data is derived from resolved problem tickets by identifying important words or concepts which are stored in connection with the particular symptom. When later problem tickets having the same symptom are identified the related important words or concepts are either added to the problem ticket or are used to prompt customers or users for additional information. A system implementing an embodiment of the invention is also described.
