About
Paul Grefen is a leading researcher in business process management and information systems engineering, with a particular focus on the intersection of digital technology and complex manufacturing environments. His work addresses the critical challenge of adapting business process management (BPM) technology—traditionally successful in administrative settings—to the intricacies of discrete manufacturing. In his notable 2015 paper, "Business process management technology for discrete manufacturing," Grefen systematically identifies the research challenges and gaps in applying BPM to automate and coordinate manufacturing processes, laying foundational groundwork for subsequent industrial applications. While his most-cited paper has garnered 4 citations, his broader contributions span decades of work on service-oriented architectures, inter-organizational business processes, and the design of flexible, scalable information systems. Grefen’s research is distinguished by its practical orientation, often bridging academic theory with real-world industrial needs. His work has influenced both the academic community and practitioners seeking to modernize manufacturing operations through advanced process management technologies.
