6. Eliminating knowledge bottlenecks using fuzzy logicMaja Zajec, Davorin Kofjač, Matjaž Roblek, 2013, original scientific article Abstract: In the formation of new processes, innovations generated by people possessing the right knowledge and talent play a crucial role. Our starting point was the fact that every new change in processes can alter the knowledge structure of a work position or work role. This means that a person can become a knowledge bottleneck in the process. If this person is found on a critical path, the process cannot produce the output in a desired form, extent or quality, unless the bottleneck is removed. For this reason, we developed a decision model founded on fuzzy logic. The result of the fuzzy model is knowledge estimation based on deviation between the required and actual knowledge. For faster decision making, we made a presentation of allocated people on desired roles using the heat map technique. Therefore, the employers make better decisions on actual knowledge allocation, acquiring missing knowledge, or defining knowledge required for the future, which makes them more competitive.

8. Enterprise : performance and business processesValentina Gečevska, Franc Čuš, Radmil Polenakovik, Paolo Chabert, 2011, original scientific article Abstract: This article proposes a scenario of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), as a innovative business strategy based on the analysis of business drivers, industry requirements, limit of current solution, and recent state-of-the-art review in the domain related to PLM. Potential industrial impact of the developed PLM technology solutions is analyzed. It is hoped that the proposed PLM technology solutions will form the frontier basis for further research, development, and application of PLM systems to quickly adapt to the dynamic changing market for industry companies to pursue the most advanced competitiveness. This article presents a process oriented framework to support effective PLM implementation with a set of lifecycle oriented business process reference models which links the necessary fundamental concepts, enterprise knowledge and software solutions to effectively deploy PLM.

9. Feasibility and rationale of introducing layers into business process modelsGregor Polančič, Gregor Jošt, Jari Soini, 2011, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is the leader and de-facto standard in business process modeling, a sub-discipline of business process management. While BPMN's objectives are to be expressive, widely understood, interchangeable and executable, it has also became rich and complex. The objective of this article is to present an idea of lowering the complexity of BPMN by applying layers into BPMN based process models. As presented in the article, layers are the remaining complexity management approach, which has not been implemented in BPMN yet. The focal part of the article is a SWOT analysis of applying layers into business process models, as well as the future work and challenges which need to be solved in order to reach our research goal - increasing the objective and subjective understandability of BPMN based process models.

10. A comparison of BPMN notation and natural language understandabilityJernej Huber, Aleš Živkovič, Marjan Heričko, 2011, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: In this paper, we explored the understandability of BPMN notation as compared with the understandability of natural language. We conducted an experiment in which we examined the results of students who were completing two different types of questionnaires. Students from the first group analyzed BPMN diagrams, while others analyzed an unstructured text. The text and BPMN diagrams were from identical problem domains and both groups of students answered the same questions. We compared the results and conducted a statistical analysis using a t-test with independent samples. Because we were able to classify students according to their prior knowledge of BPMN notation, we also conducted a one-way ANOVA test and performed a detailed analysis of the collected data.
