eBEn – eBusiness EngineeringDevelopment and validation of methods and instruments for data and process improvements within the context of master data management |

DThe project "eBEn – eBusiness Engineering" is a joint research project of the Chemnitz University of Technology, the RKW Sachsen e. V.
and the Terrot GmbH. This project is aimed at the development, validation and application of methods and instruments for a systematic
master data and business process management as a basis for improved value creation in small and medium sized companies.
On the part of the Chemnitz University of Technology an interdisciplinary research team from the chair of design and the chair of
management accounting and control develops science-based and -proven basics for a largely company- and industry-independent technology
transfer.
For the development of well-founded solution methods and tools (building blocks), a three-phase approach has been chosen. First, with
questionnaire-based interviews in 140 small and medium-sized enterprises drivers and barriers for systematic master data management as
well as relevant business objectives and constraints regarding the use of eBusiness Engineering and eBusiness Standards, respectively,
are identified (phase I). On the basis of the interview results, requirements are collected for the development of building blocks for
the general analysis of the master data situation and the related process situation (phase II). Further, derived from the phase I and II
results, additional building blocks for detailed analyses and improvement measures (synthesis measures) should be developed (phase III).
Both, the building blocks of phase II and III should be validated in different companies.
Accompanying the master data and process analyses and syntheses, the chair of management accounting and control develops in particular
building blocks for cost-benefit analyses in the phases II and III regarding the economic appraisal of the implementation and continuous
monitoring of synthesis measures.
