  Process engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Process engineering is often a synonym for chemical engineering and focuses on the design, operation and maintenance of chemical and material manufacturing processes.
Process engineering and process engineers are found in a vast range of industries, including the Chemical Process Industries (CPI), Mineral Process Industries (MinPI), Material Process Industries (MatPI), Food Process Industries (FPI), Biotechnological Process Industries (BPI).
Process engineering is also a topic in computer science and covers "applying engineering approaches, techniques, and tools to the construction of Process Models." [Rolland1998]

 Knowledge-Based Software Process (Re)Engineering
Constructing and refining a process concept vocabulary and logic (an ontology) for representing families of capabilities, processes, and their instances in terms of object classes, attributes, relations, constraints, control flow, rules, and computational methods.
Process tasks or actions have "status", which get propagated within context, and across contexts when a context is closed (check-in).
Software process engineering is a dynamic team-based endeavor that can only lead to mature processes through rapid process prototyping, incremental development, iterative refinement, and the reengineering of ad hoc process task instances and models.

 Process Life Cycle Engineering
Accordingly, when using these classes of process modeling entities, we are naturally led to model organizational processes as a web of multiple interacting tasks that are collectively performed by a team of workers using an ensemble of tools that consume resources and produce composed products/artifacts [KS82].
As the process model or model instance accounts for the logical representation of the process, and not all the circumstances and resource configurations at hand in the workplace at any moment, then contingencies can arise that are not part of the planned process instance.
If the resources are those directly involved in enacting the process (people, IT tools and systems, task inputs and outputs, etc.), then it may be possible to detect their breakdown, to seek courses of action leading to a repair, and to resume the process instance if successfully repaired.

 Business Engineering and Process Redesign in Higher Education: More Art than Science
Engineering as associated primarily with information, digital technology, networking, and communication rather than recognizing it is primarily about people and their the changing role in organizations.
Although proponents of continuous change strategies often advocate for process improvement methodologies as if it were an all or nothing alternative to more radical discontinuous change methodologies, Enterprise Engineering recognizes TQM not only as a stand alone transformation strategy but also as a useful adjunct or follow-up to more discontinuous change efforts.
Once a transformation process is initiated it becomes critical to any future change initiatives to achieve a successful outcome by constantly reiterating the will to persevere with change as long as it takes people to become convinced it will really happen.
