Topic: Synthesis and Decomposition of Processes in Organizations Abstract Organizations today face increasing pressures to integrate their processes across disparate divisions and functional units, in order to remove inefficiencies as well as to enhance manageability. Process integration involves two major types of changes to process structure, (1) synthesizing processes from separate but interdependent sub-processes and (2) decomposing aggregate processes into distinct sub-processes that are more manageable. We present an approach to facilitate this type of synthesis and decomposition through formal analysis of process structure using a mathematical structure called a metagraph.
