Externalization of the decision process from BPM to optimize business processes

Abstract

The title of this thesis is 'Externalization of the decision process from BPM to optimize business processes'.The problem statement came after realizing that changes in business logic needed to be implemented on all decision parts of all business process models (BPM). When such a model is automated, there is a need to rewrite the whole code and this takes some time. Even when it is not automated, it still needs an adaption to the changes in the model itself and all the models where the decision has impact. A separation between the business logic and the processes can be a possible solution to better management and a more agile business.The thesis contains a development and analysis of The Decision Model (Barbara von Halle & Larry Goldberg, 2009). This is an intellectual template what separates rules categorized according to the decision they support.The separation of decisions out of BPM is somewhat an issue of separating declarative versus procedural tasks.Recent methods of separation
