Ensuring the relevance of enterprise business process knowledge based on an ontological model

The problem of ensuring the relevance of knowledge about the business process of an enterprise based on its ontological model is considered. The obsolescence of enterprise business process models leads to the need to redesign solutions for their automation. Approaches to solving the problem of maintaining the relevance of the business process model are presented. The regulatory basis of the business process of an enterprise was examined for its similarity to models developed to solve automation problems, and a conclusion was made that they have a common basis. This makes it possible to consider the regulatory basis as a metamodel and store data using linguistic variables. Ontological models built according to the IDEF5 standard for the most common regulatory documents of a business process are considered. It was been revealed that one of the most important elements of managing an industrial enterprise and its business processes is maintaining the relevance of all components, including the situational ontological model. A methodology is proposed for integrating an ontological model into the process of updating enterprise regulatory documents, preserving knowledge about the business process and retrieving it to generate changes to regulatory documents and models used to automate business processes. An example of using the technique for planning equipment repairs carried out outside the main work plan is considered.
