Cascading of processes is an approach where the organization\u2019s business process design is based on internal customer-supplier relationships which ensure that every business process of the organization has a clearly defined (internal) customer which places an order and also receives the results. Segmentation of business processes refers to the idea of creating process variants of business processes which face heterogeneous market and\/or customer requirements. Both principles \u2013 cascading and segmentation of business processes \u2013 complement each other. The paper shows how these design principles are applied in practice by using an Austrian manufacturing firm as a case study.<\/p>\n<p>The poster of the presentation can be found <a title=\"Poster of \"Cascading and Segmentation of Business Processes: A Case Study\"\" href=\"http:\/\/de.processorientation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/IEEM2011_POSTER.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>; the paper is available via <a href=\"http:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\" target=\"_blank\">IEEE Xplore<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article introduces the study \u201cProcess Cascade- and Segmentation-Based Organizational Design: A Case Study\u201d by Kohlbacher M. and Weitlaner D., which was presented at the IEEE International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management in Singapore in December 2011.
