摘要
The paper aims to analyze the opportunities that modern business process management systems (BPMS) provide in improving industrial service processes. A case study identifies improvement opportunities in the order-to-cash process in two service lines of a large industrial service provider. Implementing a business process management system in the studied case context potentially enhances service process quality and significantly speeds up the order-to-cash process. The practical implication is that providers of industrial services should consider BPMS as a potential means to improve profitability through a faster order-to-cash process.
