- This paper investigates the suitability and sufficincy of BPMN language in business processmodelling. Production logistics system is modeled at the highest domain level using case study in carcomponent industry to examine the language in every aspect. Modelling is carried out in a modular basis forthree main sub-systems generally using BPMN 2.0. Complementary use of other modeling tool to cover all thecritical flows of objects and associate data in modeling was seen necessary and addressed using UML activitydiagrams employing the specific capability of modeling the material flow and semantics. Modeling the flow ofobjects provides the comprehensive perspective of the whole system and fulfill the need of capturing allundepicted object flows as well as processes and data which may not be sheerly covered using the BPMN. Theproposed models provides great beneficial referentiality for modelers, analyists and actual practitioners oflogistics activities. The significant explanatory description and strategy are the key feature of the paper tofollow using state-of-the- art modeling tool of BPMN 2.0 and UML.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper evaluates the suitability of the workflow modeling tools through process-based materialworkflow perspective. A case example in inbound logistics system of “Resource Reception” workflow at thehighest domain abstract level is examined with four nominated workflow modeling standards of Data FlowDiagram (DFD), Event-based Process Control (EPC), Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) andUnified Modeling Language (UML) Activity Diagrams (AD). Focusing on the physical object diagramingsyntax and semantics, the essential factors of the flows, consumption pattern and states for physical objectsas well as readability, easiness and comprehensiveness of the modeling tools were discussed throughout themodeling development. The models and comparative evaluation results clearly demonstrates the superiorityand advantages of using UML Ads at the workflow modeling providing an extensive view of the whole systemfunctionalities and behavior fulfilling the necessity of capturing any undepicted entity that might hold the keyof improvement in Business Process Management (BPM).
