| Open Access | INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK FOR WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Hasan Sharaf , Faculty of Information Technology, Middle East University, P.O. Box 42, Amman, JordanAbstract
In the evolving landscape of organizational operations, effective workflow management is crucial for optimizing productivity and ensuring seamless processes. This paper presents an "Integrated Framework for Workflow Management Systems" designed to address the complexities of modern workflows. The proposed framework integrates best practices from systems engineering, process optimization, and technology management to create a comprehensive approach for designing and implementing workflow systems. The framework is structured around key components: process modeling, automation, performance monitoring, and adaptability. It emphasizes the need for a cohesive strategy that aligns workflow management with organizational goals, leverages automation to reduce manual intervention, and incorporates continuous feedback for iterative improvements. Through case studies and practical applications, the framework demonstrates its potential to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs, and support scalable growth.
