Enhancing production planning efficiency with document management using BPM tools: The Bonita approach

Abstract

The efficient implementation of business process automation (BPA) through modern business process management (BPM) tools requires a comprehensive approach. This includes analyzing existing business processes to identify shortcomings and potential areas for improvement. Additionally, it involves designing optimized processes aligned with the overall business strategy of the company. Utilizing BPM tools for business process automation becomes imperative to improve efficiency, minimize errors, and elevate overall company performance. This paper explores the pivotal role of process automation in production planning within the industry, with a specific focus on utilizing BPM tools like Bonita. By analyzing the challenges in effective production management and the need for documentation optimization, the problem of inefficient paper document flow is identified. Through a detailed analysis of the production planning process and the application of a methodology involving Bonita software, a conceptual solution is presented. The result is a process diagram illustrating the benefits of automating the production planning process, including improved efficiency, reduced documentation processing time, and simplified process tracking. This paper contributes to understanding the importance of BPM tools like Bonita in modernizing and optimizing production processes, thereby promoting competitiveness and operational excellence in today's business environment.
