Sažetak
It is acknowledged that developing dynamic models of business processes prior to their change can contribute towards more successful Business process reengineering (BPR) projects. This paper investigates the suitability of IDEF diagrams (IDEF0 and IDEF3) and Petri Nets (DES Nets) for modelling business processes. After an introductory discussion of modelling issues and consequent requirements on modelling techniques, an example case of business process modelling using these modelling formalisms is presented. The suitability and effectiveness of the methods is discussed and a comparative evaluation of their features is provided. The results show that the methods can be employed in a complementary fashion as powerful tools to support a BPR project.
