Abstract

Continuous improvement of business processes is becoming increasingly important for organizations that need to maintain and improve their business in the current context, and to that end the continuous incorporation of changes to improve it is a key issue. However, an organization that has not defined how to measure and analyze the execution of its business processes is unlikely to have real and reliable information to introduce these changes. Nor will it easily achieve the goals set for the improvement effort that has been set out. MINERVA framework provides a comprehensive guide for the continuous improvement of business processes implemented by services and following principles of model driven development. Among other elements it defines a Business Process Continuous Improvement Process (BPCIP) and a Business Process Execution Measurement Model (BPEMM). In this paper we present the BPCIP and the BPEMM to first identify the business goals defined for business processes; second, to select the appropriate execution measures to be implemented and collect the associated execution information; third, to analyze and evaluate this information, identifying improvement opportunities, and fourth, to integrate these improvements into business processes in a systematic way to achieve the specific improvement results.
