Blockchain is a technology that combines a set of properties to guarantee network security, transparency, and visibility, including a decentralized structure, distributed notes and storage mechanism, consensus algorithm, intelligent contracts, and asymmetric encryption. Supply chain management activities, including supply chain management provenance, business process reengineering, and security enhancement, have enormous potential to be transformed by blockchain. This research uses the integrated interpretive structural modeling–cross‐impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (ISM‐MICMAC) technique to ascertain the hierarchical relationships and to comprehend the severity of interrelationships among various components in tackling our research questions. In MICMAC analysis, the enablers were classified into four categories based on their dependence and driving powers. The combined ISM‐MICMAC methodology employed for this study relies on experts' individual evaluations and subjective assessments. Therefore, even with extreme caution, it is impossible to guarantee that the results are entirely devoid of personal biases. To further validate the linkages discovered in this study, we suggest employing more multiple‐criteria decision‐making (MCDM) methodologies and comparing the results with those of our research. Another method for confirming the results of the current study is to use an empirical research design based on survey methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study introduces an integrated method for managing process risks in a business process reengineering (BPR) project using robust data envelopment analysis (RDEA) and machine learning (ML). The goal is to prioritize risks based on three standard factors of PFMEA (severity, occurrence and detection (S-O-D)) and incorporating two additional factors (breakdown cost and breakdown duration) seen as undesirable outputs. The model also accounts for the effect of uncertainty on expert-estimated values by applying disturbance percentages in the linear PFMEA-RDEA model. A machine-learning model is proposed to predict new values if partial or total modifications have been made to the processes. The approach was implemented in an automotive sector company, and the results showed the impact of uncertainty on values by comparing different approaches, such as RPN, PFMEA-DEA and PFMEA-RDEA. A new reduced risk categorization was achieved, which allowed for decision makers to focus on the necessary actions for reengineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the business process redesign of Ceria BRI's customer complaint service using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology with Business Process Reengineering (BPR) approach. This qualitative research with a post-positivism paradigm reveals that making complaints at Ceria BRI currently uses several channels such as telephone, email, social media, and applications. The problems faced include the high number of complaints that received every month in 2023, and some complaints were resolved over Service Level Agreement (SLA). The proposed solution is to redesign the proposed business process design by applying the four stages of Business Process Reengineering (BPR), namely Visioning-Identifying-Analyzing- Redesigning. These steps aim to improve service quality, grow positive interactions with customers, and enhance the internal performance of the Ceria BRI customer complaint service team. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Air-rail intermodal transportation (ARIT) plays a crucial role in China's intermodal transportation system. This study aims to model and optimize issues such as inefficiency and complexity in China's ARIT freight transportation using Business Process Reengineering and Stochastic Petri Nets theories. The Petri Net (PN) model for incoming freight transport in ARIT is based on actual operations, employing a new method involving Stochastic Petri Nets and isomorphic Markov Chains theory for performance analysis. Performance analysis results help intuitively identify areas needing optimization. Based on optimization principles, elements such as railway container packaging are improved, resulting in an optimized PN model for ARIT. Finally, data analysis shows that the optimized ARIT model reduces total delay by 7.7% compared to the original. This demonstrates that the new method, combining Markov Chain performance analysis and optimization principles, is feasible and effective for ARIT optimization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work follows from a research project for safety management system re-engineering that turned a safety BowTie into a digital twin. A digital twin is a model embedded in software that mirrors a specific aspect of a real system; the aspect in this case is the risk space associated with a process. The well-known BowTie is the model that turns out to be singularly well suited as a digital twin from the risk perspective as it maps out the risk space together with real-life controls. However, for a BowTie to be a high-fidelity digital twin of a real system, the rules and processes for designing and operating a BowTie are changed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article investigates the impact of environmental factors on the business process reengineering of transportation companies. The focus is specifically on the activities and business processes of Ukrainian transportation enterprises. Following a review of scientific and practical sources, a scientific task was set: to determine the impact of factors on the reengineering process through a proposed methodological approach to economic-mathematical modelling. The article utilizes correlation regression analysis and analysis-synthesis methods to evaluate the dynamics of key financial indicators of transportation enterprises. It emphasizes that reengineering should be based on the influence of various factors, not necessarily related exclusively to either the external or internal environment. The approach proposed in the work involves using regression models to analyze the impact of factors on the reengineering process. The study notes that innovation is revealed through the proposed model, which considers a range of key factors and indicators of the activity of Ukrainian transportation enterprises. Meanwhile, the authors stress that using this approach allows for identifying key factors in developing an effective reengineering strategy for transportation companies to optimize their operations. The research examines how different analysis methods can be used to detect changes in the impact of various types of factors, both external and internal, on the decision-making process regarding reengineering. The scientific novelty lies in a comprehensive approach to regression modelling of factor impacts on a relevant variable to identify the most significant factors for decision-making regarding reengineering. Alongside this, the research has limitations due to the focus on the specifics of the activity of only Ukrainian transportation enterprises. The goal is set for further research to conduct a similar study for other types of enterprises, particularly the food industry, which requires changes under wartime conditions.

Business is a war to get the attention you deserve from your enemies, and many competitors strive to gain a prominent position. Organizations are constantly seeking innovative ways to work to stay in a competitive business environment. Business process reengineering (BPR) is one of the most management approaches that are adopted by many organizations in order to achieve a dramatic increase in performance and cost reduction. Since the risks enfolded and failure rates related to BPR projects are very high, it is necessary to find ways to support success of BPR in a systematic approach. The major target of this article is to find the implementation of the proposed model to reengineer business processes (BPs) successfully via integrating critical success factors (CSFs) of BPR and BPs' performance. It is created to detect the inefficiencies and bottlenecks in the business process, decrease costs, time and increase quality of business processes, enhance financial environment and make an effective and efficient performance of the business process. It also applies a mining technique of association rule to examine the link between CSFs and several BPs and measures business processes' performance (intended BPR success) by process time, cycle time, quality and cost pre and post reengineering BPs. Thus, it uses a way to select the appropriate model for each business process. The proposed model will be implemented using a real world the Egyptian tax authority case study in order to prove its usefulness and efficiency. Then, inferred CSFs were applied according to each process, which proved the validity and success of the proposed model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The continuous and systematic redesign of key business processes is very important for businesses and organizations that seek to achieve cost savings and efficiency enhancements. Selecting the most impactful processes and ensuring a successful redesign initiative remains an important topic that motivated the authors to conduct a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on Business Process Redesign (BPR) Evaluation methodologies by applying an established eight-step SLR guide. The review sheds light on the current state of research and highlights the research gap by considering two dimensions of BPR artifacts: (a) the type of evaluation and (b) the generalizability of the existing approaches. The findings indicate that there is a lack of systematic methodologies in literature that properly evaluate the redesign capacity of models prior to implementation. Additionally, the existing methodologies do not cumulatively evaluate the quality characteristics that are necessary for BPR implementation or the applicability of BPR heuristics, and do not bear the generalizability to be readily used in a more general context. This paper aims to provide researchers with the necessary context and motivation to bridge this gap and further systematize BPR methodologies that can preselect the most suitable business processes for redesign.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to present a new approach to managing process changes in uncertain conditions. The proposed approach is applied in one of the largest production companies in Turkey to manage the changes in their warehouse processes which formed after the merger. Design/methodology/approach: In the model, interval-valued hesitant fuzzy the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (IVHF-DEMATEL) methodology is integrated into one of the most used BPR tools, change matrix. The main focus of the proposed model is to increase both flexibility and applicability in uncertain conditions. Thus, while the change matrix enables companies to be agile and responsive to changes, IVHF-DEMATEL provides a better way to continuously evaluate and determine critical processes, and strategies to align with evolving conditions. Findings: Initial analysis revealed two major problems, the slowness of shipments caused by the increase in costs and the confusion in the organizational structure. However, the conventional methods fall short of effectively determination of critical objectives in terms of dealing with uncertainty. Therefore, a comprehensive roadmap for managing the change is developed with the integration of IVHF-DEMATEL and change matrix so that a successful transition is achieved. Originality/value: It is believed that the study will contribute to the existing literature by providing a novel approach in which the IVHF-DEMATEL methodology is integrated into the change matrix. Also, the study provides a guideline for practical applications by presenting a step-by-step implementation of the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose. Formation of an economic and mathematical model as an economic platform for the protection of industrial enterprises in order to implement economic security in the frameworks of business process reengineering. Methodology. The following methods were used in the research process: methods of theoretical generalization and comparison, analysis and synthesis (to determine the meaning of the concept of “economic security of the enterprise”), statistical method (to analyze the initial data), economic and mathematical modeling of the compositional restructuring of an economic unit – an industrial enterprise (to determine conditions under which it is advisable to reengineer the business processes of an economic unit in order to form a platform of economic security). Findings. The results are determined by the fact that the theoretical provisions of the paper are brought to the level of specific proposals and have a form suitable for use in practical activities. An example of the practical application of the proposed economic and mathematical model is presented as illustrated by Pivdennyi Mining and Processing Plant (MPP) PJSC, where the essence of the given analysis is revealed. The obtained results proved their effectiveness and feasibility of use at the relevant domestic industrial enterprises. Originality. For the first time, an approach to the development of economic security of the enterprise on the basis of business process reengineering has been proposed. Economic-mathematical modeling has gained further development in determining the conditions for the feasibility of implementing structural transformations of an economic unit to obtain optimal values of indicators that reveal the essence of the economic security of an industrial enterprise. Practical value. The analysis of modeling results makes it possible to propose the implementation of imperatives – economic security of the enterprise on the basis of the implementation of its restructuring. Application of the proposed model provides a means to ensure rapid adaptability of industrial enterprises to changes, high flexibility and adaptability of all elements of the system, autonomy and economic functioning of enterprises as a whole and their structural subdivisions. The practice of using the developed economic and mathematical model based on reengineering confirmed the obtained theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main purpose of the article is a theoretical and methodological substantiation of the choice of the optimal form of re-engineering for machine-building enterprises in modern conditions of a changing external environment. The object of the study is the business processes, commercial activities and financial potential of machine-building enterprises. The scientific task is to present a modern methodological approach to choosing the form of re-engineering that is better for a mechanical engineering company in the context of its current state. For this purpose, methods of financial analysis, matrix analysis and ranking were used. In addition, such auxiliary methods as graphical and abstract-logical were used. As a result of the research and calculations, a ranking of key indicators of the financial potential of machine-building enterprises was determined and carried out. An approach to determining the level of efficiency of business processes is presented. The author's vision of the matrix for choosing the optimal form of re-engineering is proposed. The practical value of the results obtained is revealed in the possibility of applying the proposed approach in the activities of machine-building enterprises in Ukraine. The study is limited by taking into account the specifics of the activities of machine-building enterprises exclusively when selecting indicators and ranking them. Prospects for further research are considered through the prism of applying the developed methodological approach to other industrial enterprises in Ukraine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Government effectiveness has long been a concern for scholars, organizations, and governments. Ineffectiveness in government operations often results in significant costs, particularly for the consumers of public services. This paper empirically examined South Korean public bureaucrats’ perception of the potential impact of e-government on government effectiveness. The analysis reveals that these bureaucrats believe internal e-government factors, such as ICT tools, IT management, and process innovation, significantly enhance government effectiveness. Furthermore, traditional components like business alignment and coordination are viewed as more critical to e-government success than technologically oriented factors like ICT infrastructure availability and skills. Interestingly, contrary to common belief, the study found no direct impact of political leadership, vision, goals, and business process reengineering (BPR) on e-government effectiveness.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to establish a supported and validated reference point for Machiavellianism as an antecedent to the contemporary management philosophy of business process reengineering (BPR). Design/methodology/approach: This paper analyzes BPR and Machiavellianism by using the seminal work of Hammer and Champy (1993) on BPR and the original writings of Machiavelli coupled with the personal correspondence of Machiavelli with his contemporaries. Findings: The findings of this research indicate that the constructs of Machiavellian thought transcend the five centuries since the publication of The Prince, and can be found in the contemporary managerial framework of BPR. This comparison of historical leadership frameworks demonstrates how recent management decisions in companies show the rise of Machiavellian as BPR. In an analysis of these theories, the authors show similarities in five significant tenets of business leadership and argue how these repackaged ideas and prescriptions undermine employee-centric advances. Research limitations/implications: This comparison reviews the managerial frameworks presented in Machiavelli's The Prince and Hammer and Champy's book Reengineering the Corporation through the theoretical tenets of leadership. Practical implications: Employment of Machiavellianism and BPR results in an expendable utilization of followers and employees. Implications abound for modern managers, as the authors emphasize the elements and outcomes which lead to deleterious organizational outcomes. Social implications: In an analysis of these theories, the authors argue how these strategies undermine employee-centric advances within human relations by embracing these repackaged ideas and concepts. Originality/value: This research leverages historical perspective to provide a qualitative understanding of the follies of recycled versions of Machiavelli's ideas. The overall study and inquiry of BPR from a leadership perspective is not robust and leaves antecedents and influences critically unevaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The application process for the Medical Assistance Fund (MAF) to help patients receive medical interventions at public hospitals has been plagued with delays due to the increasing number of applications, inefficient management, and manual tasks. This study aims to redesign the current application process through Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and to evaluate the effectiveness of a new process to be carried out by the Medical Social Work Unit (MSWU). A new methodology, B2Lean which is based on a combination of the BPR and Lean Thinking was proposed to help identify the processes requiring improvement and to remove inefficient ones. A new online application system, the Patient Assistance Management System was proposed as an IT enabler for this BPR initiative. This study was based on a qualitative research methodology involving a case study in which interviews and observations were used to collect data. The sample study consisted of seven MSWU officers and several supporting staff selected from a government hospital. In the interviews, the '5W 1H' technique was used to elicit and analyze their feedback on issues relating to the existing processes. The findings of the analysis revealed that several manual tasks were inefficient, which had to be either removed or replaced, effectively helping to reduce the overall processing time by 52%. With the new and efficient processes, practitioners could certainly expedite patients' applications for medical assistance, thus helping them to receive prompt medical interventions. The B2Lean methodology could be used as a guideline for organizations seeking improvement in their current practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is the reaction of enterprises to rapidly changing requirements to achieve the new goals in the best cost/time and create a new reengineered Business Process (BP). Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is now the defacto BP modelling language due to rich activity and control constructs, but with possibilities to contain a bunch of semantic errors which are difficult to detect by analysts and costly to fix later. This paper proposes a mapping from BPMN to Colored Petri Nets (CPN) in order to define the formal semantics for BPMN models. This mapping is implemented as a tool that is jointly used with CPN analysis techniques to detect semantic errors in BPMN models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Accounting seeks to keep up with the massive developments in other sciences and technological advancements. Therefore, accounting has adopted prevailing concepts in those sciences to serve the activities of economic units, including the concepts of economic intelligence and re-engineering. This approach is used to restructure and develop the accounting information system in line with the advancements in information technology and the knowledge era. Consequently, this research aims to explain the stages of re-engineering accounting information systems in economic units and the problems they face in order to facilitate the implementation of advanced information systems, including economic intelligence. Economic units are now more than ever required to establish an integrated system that includes technologies and human skills, ensuring access to accurate information at the right time, enabling them to choose the appropriate strategies to enhance their competitive advantage against competing economic units. To achieve these objectives, the theoretical aspect of the research employed frameworks, theoretical concepts, and researchers' perspectives in defining the concept and stages of business process re-engineering in economic units, as well as how to apply them to accounting information systems and the concept of economic intelligence, and the experiences of countries in this field, and the requirements that must be met for their implementation in economic units. Meanwhile, the practical aspect of the research relied on a case study of a vegetable oil company, where the company's current situation was analyzed to identify the problems, it faces and determine the extent to which the requirements for implementing economic intelligence are available, as well as the reasons for re-engineering its accounting information systems.

Purpose: The study aims to design a holistic multi-stage hierarchical model that leverages the firm's knowledge-enabled distinctive core competencies (DCCs) and builds enduring and profitable customer relationships to achieve sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) in dynamic and challenging environments. It developed a knowledge-enabled customer-centric competitiveness strategy (KCCS) model that integrates four pillars: business process reengineering (BPR), knowledge management (KM), customer relationship management (CRM) and competitiveness strategy. It also proposed a BPR model to enable cross-functional cooperation and coordination for firms dealing with customers, provided a blueprint for KCCS's successful implementation and compared the KCCS model with other customer-centric (CC) approaches. Design/methodology/approach: This study adopted an exploratory research design based on a literature review of relevant studies. It has systematically analyzed 130 articles and books from Scopus, the Web of Science, Google Scholar and other renowned databases from 1982 to 2022. The analysis involved identifying and selecting relevant literature and conducting thematic research to develop a theoretical KCCS model that integrates BPR, KM, CRM, competitiveness strategy and the firm's SCA into a KCCS model. Findings: This study developed an integrative KCCS theoretical model rooted in the extant literature in BPR, KM, CRM, competitiveness strategy, DCCs, SCA and other fields. The study proposed a BPR model as a significant component of KCCS that enables cross-functional cooperation and coordination, which are often troublesome for firms in their dealings with customers. The study also provided a blueprint for successfully implementing the KCCS model and compared the KCCS model with other CC approaches. Originality/value: This study filled many research gaps in the literature in which knowledge-enabled CC frameworks are widely scattered. It offered a conceptual multi-stage hierarchical KCCS model that combines interrelated elements of BPR, KM, CRM, and competitiveness strategy. It proposed a BPR model as a significant component of the KCCS that enables cross-functional cooperation and coordination, which frequently form barriers when dealing with customers. It also provided a blueprint for successfully implementing the KCCS and compared it with other CC approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One year following the issuance of Presidential Regulation Number 95 of 2018 (Perpres 95/2018), all local governments are competing to implement an electronic-based government system (SPBE/e-Government/eGov). This study, which was conducted in the 2021-2022 period, aimed to examine e-Gov planning and then compare its practice in the five regions (Surabaya, Banyuwangi, Sleman, Gresik, and Kulon Progo) focusing on the results of the 2019 SPBE evaluation and the availability of a legal umbrella in the form of Regent/Mayor Regulations governing the implementation of e-Gov. Starting with the e-Gov theoretical framework, this study used a qualitative-descriptive method with internet secondary data, library research, SPBE index review, and supporting documents. The results of this study are: (a) there are four phases of e-Gov planning: automation, optimization, reengineering, and transformation. The acceleration of the implementation of the SPBE includes the integration of planning, budgeting, procurement, personnel data, archives, public complaints, and data centers; (b) responsively, the five regions compared in this study already have a legal umbrella in the form of a Regent/ Mayor Regulations one year following the issuance of Presidential Decree 95/2018; (c) The SPBE service domain is a reliable indicator among the five regions, while the SPBE governance and policy domain displays different dynamics among them. This study concludes that Indonesia’s performance in e-Gov practice is still not convincing among other countries globally and recommends more innovative implementation of e-Gov from authorities (government) without neglecting periodic evaluations.

To acquire competitive differentiation nowadays, logistics businesses must adopt novel strategies. Logistics companies have to consider whether redesigning their marketing plan based on client social media activity and website activity might increase the effectiveness of their digital marketing strategy. Insights from this study will be used to help logistics firms improve the effectiveness of their digital marketing as part of a marketing re-engineering and change management process. An innovative methodology was implemented. Collecting behavioral big data from the logistics companies' social media and websites was the first step. Next, regression and correlation analyses were conducted, together with the creation of a fuzzy cognitive map simulation in order to produce optimization scenarios. The results revealed that re-engineering marketing strategies and customer behavioral big data can successfully affect important digital marketing performance metrics. Additionally, social media big data can affect change management and re-engineering processes by reducing operational costs and investing more in social media visibility and less in social media interactivity. The following figure presents the graphical presentation of the abstract. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The business process reengineering 'BPR' is an approach that aims to rethink, in a creative and innovative way, the foundations of the company, its way of operating and the various technological means used. The 'BPR' imposes a break and a force of analysis of operations through the traditional functions of the company in order to make them more efficient. On the other hand, it is considered as the rapid and drastic overhaul of the organization in order to optimize the Workflow and productivity in an organization and achieve the dramatic performance. Today, the infrastructure of the company and its organization requires the support of business processes through the fundamental building blocks of the success of an organization. Information technologies that focus on process management and improving its operation have been good candidates to help organizations fulfill their business visions and improve their competitive positions. Several Companies have implemented 'BPR' in order to improve the performance of their organizations, particularly in terms of cost reduction, quality improvement in order to achieve better service and increased response speed.

Business process modeling and implementation has taken researchers' attention for almost 30 years, since Hammer and Champy published in 1992 their book on business process reengineering. Process management proponents mostly focused on the system approach and workflow modeling. In this paper, we would like to emphasize the issues of business process paradigm development. This paper's aim is to confront workflow modeling with case management. These two approaches have different purposes, although, through their application, the process paradigm change is presented. This study methodology covers the literature survey (LS) and case study. The LS on the application of Case Management Model Notation (CMMN) is included to answer the question for what purposes CMMN is applied. The empirical part covers a case study on remote audit (e‐audit) process modeling. Further, a discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of e‐audit process is included. Final conclusions concern the transformability of process modeling methodologies. This paper contributes to process management theory with explanations of how and why specific e‐audit processes are developed and how they expand process managers' practices. The e‐audit activities are included in step‐by‐step processes as well as in the case management model to improve knowledge sharing and practice improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Software reverse engineering and reengineering are becoming common in the field of games and website development. Simulation and modeling play an important role in understanding the flow of the overall system. Business process modeling notation (BPMN) is used to show the overall architecture of the business process. Simulated business process re-engineering is essential for implementing change or creating new processes. The simulation model explains whether a change will be successful or not prior to adopting any new business processes or other changes. Some available tools help convert the BPMN to a simulating BPMN model but converting the discrete event simulation model build in commercial off the shelf simulation packages like Simul8 to the BPMN to help generate business process simulation to BPMN is also a key challenge. This framework is introduced to convert the simulation model to BPMN using the reverse engineering concept to understand how the converting tools convert the BPMN model to the simulation model. After understanding this process, the concept of reengineering will be used to build a BPMN from the simulation model. The framework is divided into three main parts model translation, model mapping, and model formation. For model building, two simulation tools Simul8 and BPSimulator are used. It is then tested on two case studies bank and product manufacturing. The output shows the BPMN model is generated from the simulation model within less time on a single click saving time and resources for developing BPMN model first and then making simulation model for testing purpose.

Extending services and operations of organizations in the field of e-business or e-government sometimes requires the integration of business applications. However, sometimes due to challenges and risks, such as complex business processes reengineering, upstream organizations are reluctant to integrate their applications. This paper focuses on two critical questions; (1) How can organizations be encouraged to participate in integrating their business applications? (2) What is the amount of incentives required? In this study, cooperative game theory and the externalities of these systems have been considered to form a stable coalition between organizations for integrating their business applications. We provided an algorithm for determining the incentives to integrate the business applications with other organizations in this coalition. These incentives can be extended to various management issues for better decision-making such as economic aspects, public subsidies, and public participation. The results of experiments have shown that creating a coalition based on this strategy is always possible, and the benefits of organizations in the coalition rise with increasing service delivery in business applications.

Land administration (LA) is concerned with processes. Simply put, LA cannot be understood, built, or improved unless the processes associated with it are understood. When it comes to the processes involved in LA, two general processes can be identified, namely registration and dissemination. Nowadays, processes are implemented electronically; however, paper-based thinking is still present, and the performance of processes is impeded by siloed data management. These issues could be addressed through the employment of standards such as the Land Administration Domain Model. Processes are not yet part of the standard, but their inclusion in future extensions is planned. Moreover, a literature analysis indicated that there is no standardized methodology or model available for describing LA processes. Consequently, we modeled one part of land administration processes, namely data dissemination, by developing a methodology and model to describe it. The methodology was developed with the goal of providing guidelines for other researchers when modeling use cases of data dissemination processes by enabling comparisons of models, searching for best practices, and developing standardized process models. Additionally, the methodology was tested on a conceptual use case to prove its viability. Furthermore, a model based on conceptual modeling and an activity-centric process modeling approach was developed and linked to existing classes of the Land Administration Domain Model. The organizational and technological challenges which might arise when improving data dissemination processes are discussed, and possible outcomes of the developed methodology and model are provided.

This study investigates the role of supply chain resilience in the relationship between supply chain risk management culture and firm performance during the disruption of the S.M.E. Batik clothing business in the Wedi subdistrict of Klaten, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is a quantitative study designed to collect primary data through the distribution of questionnaires. A sample of 87 respondents who are members of the S.M.E. Batik cooperative in Klaten, Yogyakarta, was selected using a purposeful sampling procedure. This study restricts the sample to the owner and manager positions. The collected data were analyzed using SmartPLS software and the structural equation model method. The findings indicate that SCRM (supply chain management culture) has a positive and statistically significant impact on firm performance. Additionally, this study demonstrates that SCRMC positively and significantly impacts Re-engineering, Agility, and Collaboration. Testing the effect of mediating variables revealed that Re-engineering, Agility, and Collaboration significantly affect the relationship between SCRMC and firm performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
