Optimization of business process management in engineering companies

This article is dedicated to the study of methods and approaches to optimizing business process management in engineering companies aimed at enhancing their efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. In today's market, where technological innovations and the speed of response to changes are critically important, optimizing business processes becomes not just desirable but necessary. The process-oriented approach to management is a key tool that allows considering a company's activities as an integrated system of interconnected processes, ensuring transparency and control over each stage of work. The authors examine the importance of business process modeling, its goals, and stages, which include analyzing current processes, identifying bottlenecks, and developing optimized solutions. Modeling allows not only visualizing and understanding existing processes but also predicting the possible consequences of changes and their impact on the overall efficiency of the company. Special attention is given to the main modeling standards such as SADT (Structured Analysis and Design Technique), which is used for structured analysis, software formation, and information system development; IDEF (Integration Definition for Function Modeling), which provides modeling of complex systems, model representation, and analysis; ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems), which supports a comprehensive approach to business process modeling, including description, analysis, improvement, preparation for the implementation of complex information systems, and control; BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), which provides graphical representations of processes for simple and accessible use; and BPEL (Business Process Execution Language), which focuses on bridging the gap between modeling and executing business processes.Attention is also given to the main methods of optimizing business process management, such as the Fast Analysis Solution Technology (FAST) method, which allows quick assessment and improvement of processes; process benchmarking, which involves comparing one's own processes with the best practices in the industry; process redesign, which includes a complete review and reconstruction of processes for their improvement; and process reengineering, which involves radical changes in processes to achieve significant improvements in key performance indicators. An important aspect is the comparison of evolutionary and revolutionary approaches to business process optimization. The comparison is based on the methods of process benchmarking and process reengineering, where the former involves gradual changes and improvements, while the latter requires radical changes and innovative solutions to achieve maximum efficiency.
