management process of the new philosophies and lean tools, such as, Six Sigma, LSS or other
processes of the different techniques and principles associated with these disciplines, such as
Kaizen, Last planner system, statistical techniques or any other analysis technique for continuous
improvement. BPMS includes process execution engines and incorporates task managers that
show the work to be done by each actor according to the running of the process flow, storing the
relevant information and disposing of it in real time anytime and anywhere. Not only will this help
to accelerate the process but also to know what to do, how, when, and how long (standardization
of Lean) to each participant, both in terms of production processes and to apply continuous improvement techniques for the government of such processes. The proposed model will include
the variability among its principles to avoid fixed and inflexible processes, allowing in an agile way
to adapt the processes to the specific objectives of the organization and its continuous change
through composition techniques included in BPM and related technologies like Service-Oriented
Architecture (hereinafter SOA) and Web Services (Erl, 2005, 2008; Marks & Bell, 2006).
Furthermore, the use of ontologies and semantic reasoners to streamline the generation of process modelling for the work execution directly will affect the customisation efficiency. This means
that depending on customer’s choices, the appropriate processes to build the custom home will
be generated connecting sub processes as if it were a puzzle, guiding the work of other staff to
avoid errors. These processes will be executed over the process engine or BPMS workflow, but to
execute certain tasks or sub processes they must interact with external information systems that
were presented as functional isolated islands within an organization, performing functions inside
the process of the work execution. These systems will be exposed following the principles of SOA
paradigm using Web Services technologies or Enterprise Service Bus infrastructures (hereinafter ESB), removing the stiffness of these systems and their functionalities, and providing aspects
such as
