Businesses need to continuously focus on change and innovation in
order to survive in dynamic environments. The ability of an organization
to deploy appropriate business processes requires that the fit between
business processes and systems that support the management of these
processes is continuously maintained and evolved. Acquisition and
use of the knowledge about the context in which business processes
are defined, modified, and implemented can help maintain this fit.
We identify requirements for a business process management system
(BPMS) capable of managing contextual knowledge. Based on these requirements,
we have enhanced KOPeR, a knowledge-based system for business process
improvement, with an explanation facility that can acquire and maintain
knowledge about the context behind process definitions and design
choices. A case study that illustrates the functionalities of this
system which is designed to improve the fit between business processes
and BPMS is presented.
