Ket : Business process modeling allows the description of both core and supportive business processes. Core business processes are considered processes which provide significant added value to the business operation. Such added value could be achieved by cost reduction and/or performance enhancement (Jime´nez et al. 2009). Business process modeling is used mostly for business process improvement (BPI) and business process reengineering (BPR). Business process modeling, information technologies and operational research are connected in the context of BPR, in order to achieve operations analysis and improvement (Emiris et al. 2001). In BPI and BPR projects, a series of methodological steps are followed, which are similar to those defined by operational research methodologies. Operational research (OR) is a discipline that deals with the application of advanced analytical methods to help the stakeholders make better decisions (Lancaster and Management 2013). Main topics of operational research approaches may include scheduling, production planning, forecasting, supply chain design, facilities allocation, and so on (INFORMS.org 2015).
