Zusammenfassung
Analysis and design of business processes can be discussed from different points of view and scientific backgrounds. In areas related to information systems most of the research seems to concentrate on the question of how to model such processes. The focus of these approaches is planning on the process type level, i.e. modelling a general pattern of a business process. With this contribution we want to broaden the scope of the investigation a little bit. We will focus also on process instances in terms of scheduling and show how modelling of process types and optimization of business process instances interrelate. In order to do this we apply Generalized Process Networks a graph-based language. It delivers a problem representation which is equally suited to answer planning and scheduling questions.
