EM in support of team system engineering

摘要

The paper explains how the application of state-of-the-art enterprise modelling concepts can be enhanced by adding new modelling concepts that enable the creation of models of competencies, behaviors and performance of human systems (including teams). Two main threads of research in human systems modelling are described. One thread concerns (a) attributing models of human system requirements to role and job specifications that are encoded by multiple process models; and (b) using models of available human system competencies and organization structure to inform human systems engineering. The second research thread has characterized and modelled key aspects of human systems development processes as teams transform from a group of individuals into an efficient functioning unit. Both research threads are linked to the ongoing development of a Multiple Process Modelling environment. The introduction of human systems modelling concepts into MPM has broadened its application base.
