In this thesis the software development process and in particular, the requirements management processes in a major software development company have been investigated. The current problems related to requirements quality and process performances have been identified. Process improvement measures have been proposed based on the suggestions found in the relevant literature. The current process and the improved version have been compared with respect to the process evaluation metrics proposed particularly for software process improvement

Abstract:
Le monde industriel de fabrication d'aujourd'hui doit satisfaire la demande des utilisateurs finaux et l'un des facteurs déterminants est la demande des produits de haute précision. Plusieurs stratégies ont été employées par les fabricants pour réduire le nombre des défauts et prédire la précision des processus de fabrication. L'approche de l'amélioration de contrôle de qualité, implémentée dans cette étude, comprend la mise en place des paramètres et l'optimisation pour le processus de la moulure des ceintures de caisse afin de réduire la durée de la prise et le nombre des défauts. Nous avons

La problématique scientifique abordée correspond à la modélisation et à l'amélioration des processus métiers. Ce problème est d'un intérêt croissant pour les entreprises qui prennent conscience de l'impact indéniable que peuvent avoir une meilleure compréhension et une meilleure gestion des processus métiers (PM) sur l'efficacité, la cohérence et la transparence de leurs activités. Le travail envisagé dans le cadre de la thèse vise à proposer une méthode et un outil pour mesurer et améliorer la qualité des modèles de processus métier.
