Clustering of ERP business process fragments

Business process management technology at present has been developed and applied both in small and in large scale. Many companies and organizations use, for instance, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or other business process-oriented system. In this paper, a clustering method in business process model based on its similarity is proposed. This clustering aims to group some similar business processes to form a common business process. A new business process, as a result, can be composed based on similar common business process in order to increase reusability. It is done according to similarity value among business processes that is by calculating the similarity based upon structural and behavioral similarity method. Meanwhile, the clustering process uses a graph partition approach. This research then shows that the clustering result of business process is precise at certain threshold value.
