Project Objective

Process Automation

«We needed to automate the flow of electronic documents between all actors involved in the project to chart real-time changes. We quickly found that it was possible to integrate the Bonita Engine, which brought significant added value. This aspect was more difficult with other, less easily customized proprietary solutions.»

Challenges

As part of the construction of a nuclear power plant in China, Areva needed:

  • a solution for tracking engineering changes in real-time during the different phases of the project
  • to automate the flow of electronic documents between all actors involved in the project to chart
  • real-time changes
  • a tool that is flexible enough to quickly create and validate applications
  • to integrate a BPM engine into a third party application

Benefits realized

Process automation and real time monitoring.

Quickly able to integrate the Bonita BPM Engine, which brought significant added value.

8 processes were modeled, automated and deployed, now used by hundreds of people to handle 400-500 simultaneous edits per year.

The application can handle change processes that can take up to a year to complete.

They enabled completely paperless processes that were previously performed manually.

Optimized processing change time.

Real-time monitoring by all stakeholders of any changes.

Bonita to improve processes for construction of evolutionary power reactors

 

«The application is fully deployed and the project is stable. Integrating the Bonita Engine in the internal solution enables completely paperless processes that were previously performed manually with paper, optimization of processing change time, and real-time monitoring by all stakeholders of any changes.»
