面向ERP的事件驱动工作流设计与应用

Design and application of ERP facing to the event-driven workflow

随着市场竞争环境的日益激烈,服务计算和业务流程迅速发展,企业不仅要实施工作流的整合、建模、测试,还需要加强企业资源规划。企业为了提升自身的管理水平和综合竞争力,已经把目光投入到信息化管理,将企业资源规划(ERP)作为典型的信息化集成解决方案。根据ERP自身特点,分析出各种工作流建模方法的特点,总结了目前工作流的不足之处,设计出一种事件驱动的过程链工作流工作模型。通过事件驱动器、过程链及时响应和反馈机制,对工作流管理系统进行改进,能够很好满足ERP系统业务流程需求。实践证明,采取事件驱动的过程链工作流机制,明显提高了系统的可扩展性、柔韧性和处理复杂业务流程的能力。

With the rapid development of the service computing and business process, the enterprise needs to perform the integration, modeling and testing of workflow. Meanwhile, it also needs strengthening the resource planning. Enterprise takes the Enterprise Resource Planning（ERP） as a typical informative integration solution in order to improve its management and comprehensive competitiveness. According to ERP’s features, the characteristics of all kinds of workflow modeling approaches are analyzed, and the disadvantages of existing workflow are summarized; then a working model of workflow for event-driven process chain is designed. With the event driver, timely response of process chain and feedback system, the workflow management system can be improved so that it can satisfy the business process in ERP system. It has been found that using event-driven process chain workflow system can improve the extensibility,the flexibility and the capacity of dealing with the complex business process significantly.
