Dynamic Process Improvement and Optimization

The Living Systems Process Suite enables business processes that immediately and continuously adapt to deliberate changes and unexpected events as they happen.

Features

• Anytime, immediate updating of running processes
• Self-adaptive in-flight process flow optimization

Continuous process improvement

With the Living Systems Process Suite, model changes, such as adding a new activity plan to a goal, can be applied anytime and immediately using the integrated or Web-based model management tool.

This supports iterative modeling practices and promotes continuous operational improvement by minimizing the effort, lag, and cost of process change.

Whether the process manager wants to make a planned update or an ad-hoc correction, she can simply apply an updated model to a process, even if it is already running.

As each activity plan is a different way of achieving a process goal, exceptions can be added to a process safely and without causing ripple effects throughout the whole model.

Powerful validation and migration wizards ensure that even very extensive changes don't break the process and its data.

Self-adaptive process optimization

The Living Systems Process Suite pursues process goals with those activity plans that optimally achieve them. It selects and orchestrates the options in real-time based on resource availability, business policies, and performance metrics.

A special class of governance goals continuously monitors states and events within or outside the process, for instance time elapsed or a resource level.

They autonomously optimize the process flow or trigger another process to keep cost, time, or any other key business-relevant metrics in check.
