Abstract
This paper presents how an existing approach to business process management, Subject-oriented BPM (S-BPM), provides a foundation for seamlessly integrating processes in production enterprises, from business processes to real-time production processes. The applicability of S-BPM is based on its simplicity and encapsulation of separate process domains. This supports agility as all stakeholders can be engaged and the effects of changes can be limited to individual modules of the process. An application and tool support developed in an ongoing European research project are presented to illustrate the approach.
