This is a repository containing business processes with constraints.
A business process is a set of activities executed in sequence to achieve a business goal. To achieve business goals, business processes need to comply with business regulations, satisfying functional and non-functional constraints. Functional constraints are constraints on the execution order between activities. Non-functional constraints are constraints on KPIs like time, cost, profit, and customer satisfaction, to ensure business performance.
In the repository directory, each sub-directory holds a business process and its constraints. The business process is stored in business-process.bpmn. Since different sets of constraints can be specified in different scenarios, the set of constraints in each scenario is stored in scenairo-x.md.
For example, online-grocery holds the business process of an online grocery and its constraints. business-process.bpmn contains the business process. When a customer places an order, the online grocery will deliver goods to the customer and receive payment from the customer:
scenario-1.md contains the set of functional and non-functional constraints in one scenario:
In the Introduction section, the scenario is described.
In the Functional Constraint section, the execution orders between activities are described.
In the Non-functional Constraint section, the constraints on KPIs are described. In the KPI sub-section, the calculation formulas of KPIs are defined. In the Valuation sub-section, activities' valuations on variables are described. There are three types of valuations, including determinate, controllable, and uncontrollable. determinate means that the value is a determinate value. controllable means that the process controller can control the value. uncontrollable means that the value depends on the environment. The business process satisfies non-functional constraints, if the process controller can control the controllable variables to keep KPIs within ranges, regardless of uncontrollable variables.
We have incorporated the business processes from RePROSitory (https://pros.unicam.it:4200/index). We are classifying these business processes into categories. The category directory holds the classified business processes.
We would appreciate it if you could contribute more business processes, or contribute more constraints of existing business processes. You can use online-grocery as a template. You can contribute through pull requests.
