Kick-starting Green Business Process Management - Suitable Modeling Languages and Key Processes for Green Performance Measurement

摘要

In this paper we examine an initial step towards Green Business Process Management. We give insights from a research project with the goal of monitoring and redesigning business processes in an environmentally sustainable manner. Using literature analysis and three case studies we derive suitable languages and software for business process modeling. In addition, we show business processes that can act as key examples for green process monitoring and redesign. The results show that enterprises can build up on process modeling and energy monitoring to become more environmentally sustainable.
