Exploring BPM Integration in Aviation IT System: Evaluates the Feasibility of Camunda BPM Driven Process Automation in Large Scale Aerospace Operations
Keywords:
Business Process Management (BPM), Camunda BPM, Aviation IT Systems, Process Automation, Aerospace Operations, Predictive Maintenance, Blockchain Security, Workflow OptimizationAbstract
BPM integration with aviation IT systems receives evaluation through research that examines automation processes built by Camunda BPM in large-scale aerospace operations. The research adopted mixed method approaches to explore BPM process automation improvements in flight scheduling as well as effects on aircraft maintenance and workforce efficiency and compliance management performance. Implementation of BMI software brought substantial performance enhancements that cut process runtimes between 38-42% while saving up to 53.3% from documentations costs. The combination of digital twins and AI during implementation led to a 36% better performance in predictive maintenance alongside blockchain integration which cut down regulatory audit failures by more than 70%. The study demonstrated that employee productivity reached 60.6% higher levels while manual workload suffered a decrease of 136.4%. BPM automation directly relates to work productivity measurements according to gathered data. Aerospace organizations can leverage Camunda BPM as a flexible platform that enhances operational efficiency while saving costs and adhering to regulations with its digital transformation speed benefits secured through cybersecurity measures.
