Abstract

Methods and techniques of business process management as known in the private sector are being used more and more in the public sector. This paper demonstrates their applicability to systems where the human factor is more important. It describes a case study of filling unoccupied capacities in an old people's home. The simulation techniques are used as a replacement for the exact deterministic planning. Our research shows that by using the simulation it is possible to predict the effects of the renovation and the duration of the processes and bottlenecks and to thereby avoid bad decisions.

Sažetak

Metode i tehnike upravljanja poslovnim procesima koje poznajemo iz privatnog sektora sve se više koriste i u javnom sektoru. Ovaj rad prikazuje njihovu primjenjivost na sustave u kojima je ljudski faktor važniji. Opisuje slučaj popunjavanja slobodnih mjesta u jednom staračkom domu. Koriste se tehnike simulacije u zamjenu za točno determinističko planiranje. Naše istraživanje pokazuje da korištenje simulacije omogućuje predviđanje efekata renoviranja i trajanja procesa i uskih grla a time i izbjegavanje loših odluka.
