Method of and system for enacting a business process in an event-driven environment

Abstract

A business process is enacted in a production facility employing a computer managed manufacturing execution system or manufacturing operation management system. The MES/MOM systems operate in an event-driven environment based on handlers orchestrated by events. The method includes: providing and parsing a business process model; creating precompiled, closed source command handlers and event handlers; creating entities of a work process model in an operational domain of the system; and, based on the work process model, running a work process, instancing the business process, by using the precompiled, closed source command handlers and event handlers, the command handlers working on tokens that are differentiated for the different types of elements, are created by the command handlers for each element in a run provided for by the enactment and, for each element, are differentiated according to whether the run to which the token belongs is actually executed or skipped.
