This book introduces students to business process management, an
approach that aims to align the organization's business processes
with the demands of the marketplace. Processes serve as a
coordination mechanism, and the aim of business process management
is to improve the organization's effectiveness and efficiency in
adapting to change, and maintaining competitive advantage. In
Business Process Management, Kumar argues for the value of looking
at businesses as a collection of processes that cut across
departments, and for breaking down functional silos. The book
provides an overview of the basic concepts in this field before
moving on to more advanced topics such as process verification,
flexible processes, process security and evaluation, resource
assignment, and social networks. One chapter of the book is also
devoted to process analytics. The book concludes with an
examination of the future directions of the discipline. Blending a
strong grounding in current research with a focus on concepts and
tools, Business Process Management is an accessible textbook full
of practical examples and cases that will appeal to upper level
students.
Safety or the effects of its absence are often attributed to fate
and loosely termed as "acts of God". In reality, incidents occur
when one or more components of a system or their mutual linkages
fail to perform satisfactorily. It is not a simple task to analyse
a system failure scenario wherein multiple components interact and
it certainly is not a layman's job. Therefore, it is imperative to
give top-most priority to the safety management in industries.
Industrial safety management calls for good understanding of all
components, including people, equipment, materials, processes and
practices and applicable statutes and standards so that the
hazards, risks and accidents can be avoided. The book,
systematically organised in fifteen chapters, addresses all these
components and explain their principles with the aim to help
readers develop good understanding of each component. It enables
them to identify hazards, assess risks, develop safe work
procedures and practices, and adopt appropriate risk control
measures to control likelihood as well as severity of an
inadvertent failure event. With a special focus on Indian scenario
and spoken-style approach, the book comprises ample
illustrations-figures and tables-to enrich fruitful learning,
chapter-end summary for quick recap of the concepts as well as
chapter-end questions to assess students' understanding of the
concepts. Primarily intended for the undergraduate students of fire
and industrial safety and the postgraduate students of industrial
safety engineering and management, the book will also be of immense
use to the students opting diploma or certificate course in fire
technology and industrial safety management. Overall, the book aims
to meet the curriculum needs and enhance analytical skills of the
students.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the BPM Forum from the
International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2017,
held in Barcelona, Spain, September 2017. The BPM Forum hosts
innovative research which has a high potential of stimulating
discussions. The papers selected for the forum are expected to
showcase fresh ideas from exciting and emerging topics in BPM, even
if they are not yet as mature as the regular papers at the
conference. The volume contains 11 full papers carefully reviewed
and selected from 97 submissions. Each paper was reviewed by a team
comprising of a senior PC and four regular PC members who engage in
a discussion phase after the initial reviews were prepared. The
authors eventually receive four review reports, and a meta-review
that summarizes the reviews and the discussion. The selected papers
cover topics related to process models and metrics, mining and
compliance, and to other innovative ideas such as gamification,
smart devices and digital innovation as far as they pertain to BPM.
