Abstract
Cooperation between and within enterprises should be strengthened. Transparency of the processes promotes communication and confidence between all partners. International cooperation calls for precise sequences of operation as well as for performances in line with market conditions, i.e. performances that are available on time and in the necessary quality. Modeling leads to a clear view on business processes and is an essential step in the process of organizing enterprises. Relevant aspects of modeling and discussion contain all data about the quality of processes and the quality of their performance. It could also be used as basis for QM and organizational manuals. Integrated Enterprise Modeling (IEM) represents planning information transparently and is therefore the basis for discussion between project participants. In order to evaluate the variety of planning information and description requirements IEM enables different views on one consistent model as well as the business processes belonging to them. The software tool MO2GO (method of object oriented business process optimization) supports the modeling process based on the IEM method. It allows a transparent description of the business processes as well as an analysis of costs, times or quality to enable participants to identify optimization potentials.
