- In the study of business management, process integration
has become an interesting area of research that affects analysts
studying and working on existing system plans. Process
integration aims to investigate relationships across a
business compendium to produce classifications and merge
similar activities into a standardized system. Integration
is the process of merging elements from two similar antecedent
processes to create a single process that can be
used to replace the original processes. This paper proposes
a practical method for process integration and provides a
theoretical framework and metrics for business process integration
assessment. In the provision of metrics that take
into account similarity of activities within processes we are
able to offer solutions that provide minimal change reducing
change costs, and minimizing change impact risks.
