Background: Healthcare processes in hospitals, like processes in companies or governmental organizations, may accumulate problems and obstacles over time, which consequently cause the processes to become ineffective. BPM is an approach for process modeling, improvement and automating, which has been used with great success for process improvement.Methods: This work was to examine the possibility of carrying out healthcare process improvement using BPM. To implement BPM ideas, a revised TAD methodology was developed, representing an important contribution to the BPM. The first three phases of the TAD methodology were introduced in a step-by-step approach. The first phase deals with process identification, the second develops the "as-is" model, and the third phase discusses process improvement by developing the "to-be" model.Results: We found that (a) the Surgery process is efficient and well organized; (b) patient stay in the clinic could be shortened; however for humane and social reasons the leadership prefers to leave the residence time as it is; (c) the process is connected to some time-consuming activities which are perfrmed in other departments and represent the bottleneck of the process.Conclusions: The following were concluded (a) BPM proved to be a suitable approach for carrying out healthcare process improvement; (b) the revised TAD methodology showed to be consistent and efficient in performing BPM approach; (c) The Surgery process discussed was found to be an effective one and no changes or improvements are needed; (d) Concerning time-consuming activities, the leadership decided to discuss this problem with the management of the departments where the activities are executed.

Business Process Analysis can be used to eliminate or reduce a waste cost caused by non value added activities that exist in a process. This research aims at evaluating activities carried out in the natural material procurement process in the PT XYZ, calculating the effectiveness of the process cycle, finding a way to improve the process management, and calculating the cost reduction that can achieved by activity management. A case study was the approach of this research. The researcher obtained research data throughout deep interviews with the staff who directly involved in the process, observation, and documentation of natural material procurement. The result of this study show that the effectiveness of the process cycle of natural material procurement in the factory reached as much as 87,1% for the sand material and 72% for the crushed stone. This indicates that the process still carry activities with no added value and still contain ineffective costs. Through the Business Process Mechanism, these non value added activities can be managed so that the process cycle becomes more efficient and cost effectiveness is achieved. The result of the effective cycle calculation after the management activities implementation is 100%. This means that the cost of natural material procurement process has become effective. The result of calculation of the estimated cost reduction as a result of management activity is as much as Rp249.026.635,90 per year.

The application of a path method allowing the simulation of the process of semi-mark system operation is considered. There is shown a sample of the technological complex during the operation of which various failures are possible. The simulation of the technological complex taking into account depreciating failures is carried out; the accuracy of the path method is confirmed.

Abstract This paper describes how the authors used a combination of focused ion beam (FIB) microprobing, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and data and process analysis to determine that localized water residue was causing a 6% yield loss at die sort.
