Green Business Process Management The document discusses green business process management. It defines green BPM as the sum of all IS-supported management activities that help monitor and reduce the environmental impact of business processes throughout their lifecycle, as well as lead to cultural change. The document outlines three key dimensions of green BPM: (1) management activities like planning and controlling, (2) stages of the process lifecycle from design to operation, and (3) goals of reducing environmental impact and driving cultural change. It presents a conceptual research framework with these three dimensions for analyzing green BPM.

3. Green Computing
• Green computing or green IT, refers to environmentally
sustainable computing or IT.
• It is "the study and practice of Designing, Manufacturing,
Using, and Disposing of computers, servers, and associated
subsystems efficiently and effectively with minimal or no
impact on the environment.

4. Need of Green Computing
• Today, the main problem of the world is Global warming.
• The atmosphere is becoming hot & is causing many problems
to living organisms.
• Computers also play a major role in polluting the world.

5. Impact of Computing On
Environment
• Increase in power, cooling and space for data center.
• 2007-$4.5 billion of electricity
• 2011-$7.4 billion of electricity(25 power plants)
• 2011-Double CO2 output ( 62 million metric tons)

6. Impact of Computing On
Environment
• By electronic appliances.
• Desktop requires 85 watts just to idle(Monitor off)
• Left on 24 hrs/day-1,500 pounds of CO2 per year.
• A tree absorbs between 3 and 15 pounds of CO2 each year.

7. Impact of Computing On
Environment
• According to reports from the German Federal Environment
Office, devices consume around 17 billion (kWh) in a year in
standby mode.
• The CO2 dissipated from ‘sleeping’ devices = 1/7th the CO2
emitted by an automobile.
• Manufacturers do not provide a proper shut-off button in
devices.
• Windows Vista’s default shut down mode is a deep sleep mode
that requires power.

8. Impact of Computing On
Environment
• Hazardous materials inside computers.
• These contain
– Cadmium(damage your kidneys)
– Mercury(neurological damage)
– Lead(disrupt brain neurotransmitters).

9. Origin
• In 1992, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
launched Energy Star, a voluntary labelling program
which is designed to promote and recognize energy-
efficiency in monitors, climate control equipment,
and other technologies.
– Saved $14 billion in energy costs in 2006 alone.
– Widespread adoption of sleep mode
• EPA, is focused on promoting energy efficient
products.

10. Road to Green Computing
• Green Use
• Green Disposal
• Green Design
• Green Manufacturing

11. Approaches to Green Computing
IT Equipment Recycling:
• If you can extend the working life of your IT products, you
reduce the environmental consequences of mining,
manufacture, packaging, shipping and disposal.
• Many organizations, including some manufacturers
themselves, are willing to take equipment back and recycle the
components into new products.

12. Simple Tasks for Go Green
• Turn your computer and monitor off when you are not using it.
• Enable hibernation using the power management settings.
Standby does not save as much power.
• Replace your CRT screen with an LCD screen.
• Save Your Paper.

13. Simple Tasks for Go Green
• Use Linux (such as Ubuntu), which requires less
resources than many other operating systems on an
older computer as a spare or a file server.

15. Business process management
HISTORY OF BPM:-
• Business process management originated from the
domains of total quality
management .
• Business process re- engineering in the 1980s.
• Life cycle management research started during the 1990s
and is still a discussed topic.

16. Business process management
DEFINITION OF BPM:-
In the BPM, we focus on
“Business processes, combining different
perspectives and their artifacts.”
For example,
A process, its assigned IT resources, and its
integration into the organizational
structure—to generate a feasible proces performance.

17. Business process management
DEFINITION OF BPM:-
For the management of business processes, there
are -
• Number of different process models
• Maturity models
• Languages
• Graphical notations

18. Business process management
DEFINITION OF BPM:-
“De Bruin et al.” developed a maturity model to evaluate the
ability of an organization to perform their process
management.
This maturity model uses the evaluation criteria: -
•strategic alignment
•Governance methods
•Technology
•people
• culture.

19. Business process management
DEFINITION OF BPM:-
One of the most widely used language that come with a
graphical notation to represent processes is the –
•Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) .
The main challenge lies in the integration of different
concepts with a holistic approach for Green IT and
Green IS that finally supports the management.

20. Green IS and IT
HISTORY OF GREEN IS and IT :-
• Green IS and Green IT first appeared on
“The Research Agenda in 2006/2007”
But has lost some heat in recent years.
•The first article on Green BPM with a
definite impact was published in 2009

21. Green IS and IT
Green Information System:-
•The green information System is defined as “Development that
meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs”.
•Green IS which includes Green IT encompasses all
IS-based initiatives that support sustainable business
practices.
• In addition the concept of IT greening exists, which
encompasses the design, manufacture, use, and disposal of
computers, servers, and associated subsystems efficiently and
effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment.

22. Green IS and IT
Green Information Technology:-
• Green IT is used as a generic term and multifaceted construct for
measures and activities that aim to increase the energy efficiency of IT
operations and enhance the sustainable use of material resources.
• Green IT is part of a fundamental change in the economy and
society.
• It is a subset of the larger green business trend, which reconciles
sustainable business practices with profitable business operations .

23. Green BPM
From an IS researcher’s perspective
“Green BPM is the sum of all IS supported
management activities that help to monitor and
reduce the environmental impact of business
processes in their design, improvement,
implementation or operation stages, as well as
lead to cultural change within the process life
cycle.”

25. Green BPM research framework
From Green BPM research developed definition, we
can identify three dimensions:-
• Dimension one contains management activities, such as
planning, doing, controlling/checking, and acting. It is based
on the four phases of the Deming Cycle , ‘Plan,’ ‘Do,’
‘Check,’ and ‘Act.’
• Dimension two contains all stages from the process
lifecycle: design, measure/monitor, improve/change, and
operate.
• Dimension three contains the identified goals of Green
BPM: reducing the environmental impact and helping with
cultural change within the process chain.

28. Conclusion
• Green computing can lead to a lot of energy savings, reduction
in emission of CO2 & CFC’s which leads to environment
protection.
• It also leads to serious cost savings overtime.
• Literature review demonstrated that, while there is plenty of
qualitative literature published, most articles contain informal
concepts or ideas.

29. Initial research question of this paper is :-
What defines Green Business Process Management?
- Based on our structured literature review we assert that from an IS
researcher’s perspective Green BPM is the sum of all IS-supported
management activities that help to monitor and reduce the environmental
impact of business processes in their design, improvement,
implementation or operation stages, as well as lead to cultural change
within the process life cycle.
Second research question of this paper is:-
Which fields of action exist and how can research gaps be
closed?
- For this matter we were able to identify three dimensions from the
body of literature: management activities, process stages, and Green
BPM goals.
