Introduction

Process management concept was introduced to China since the late 1990s, and enter‐ prise has different cognitions and practices on process management at different devel‐ opment stages. Enterprise management has experienced initial management based on personal experience, function management, management of local process by informa‐ tion-based means and current stage of promoting overall continuous improvement by comprehensive process management [1]. Enterprises constantly improve their recogni‐ tion on BPM. More and more enterprise managers are planning to start BPM related projects in the aspect of demand. Enterprises are also increasing investment since they have implemented BPM projects. Operation mode of traditional enterprises is facing unprecedented challenges with advent of Internet thinking. Three major technological revolutions of software industry are reviewed. The first revolution occurred in 1960, which realized separation of database from application logic, and it was not necessary for application software development to focus on under‐ lying storage structure. Professional database vendors and DBMS system were produced, thereby greatly improving development efficiency of application software. The second revolution refers to visual programming technology produced in 1984. GUIseparation of user interface and application logic was realized. Application software development speed was greatly accelerated. The third technology innovation was produced since 2000, and business process management was separated from application logic, which was represented by generation of BPM product actually. Different require‐ ments are proposed to enterprise management ability at development stages of organi‐ zation. We discover that management software is changing from function-driven oper‐ ation to process-driven operation [2] (Fig. 1).

Problems in Process Management

It is discovered that enterprises generally do not have tools and methods about process plan and process analysis according to our practice in process management field for more than ten years. In such a case, process analysis results cannot be implemented after a lo
