Modelling factors of influence on business process management in the organizations of the clothing industry

Abstract

Business process management (BPM) in organizations of the clothing industry can be considered as a practice of importance for establishing a stable and progressive business. In contemporary business, which considers the application of best business practices within production-business systems, effective process management becomes important and emerges as a practice that contributes to the overall improvement of the organization’s operations. BPM focuses on improving both internal and inter-organizational operations that take place between organizations within the supply chain of clothing industry. The effective BPM in the organizations of the clothing industry may depend on the establishment of the various elements. The assumption is that influential elements are specifics of the garment industry such as the primary BPM activities, the different dimensions of BPM which are consistent with a comprehensive view of this approach, as well as the mere involvement of human resources in the business processes of the organizations. The defined influential elements are treated as variables of the structural model, created by the implementation of the IBM SPSS AMOS structural modelling program, exploring a number of hypothesized impacts. The results of this research help to understanding the impact of these elements on the strengthening BPM practice in the clothing industry organizations.
