Computer Integrated Redesign and Visualisation of Business Processes

Globalisation and rapidly changing business environments require enterprises which are able to identify success potentials of the future quickly and to develop them on time. “Strategic Production Management is a comprehensive management methodology developed to overcome these obvious challenges. The method OMEGA has been developed at the Heinz Nixdorf Institut for designing business processes. It is possible to transfer process and product data out of the engineered modelling-tool PRESTIGE into EDM- or Workflow Management Systems. Furthermore, a new approach for the visualisation of business processes is presented. Virtual Reality Technology is used to experience a simultanous view on the physical model of the factory as well as the business process model.
