Perprosessins

Perprosessins is a term that has appeared in some discussions of process design and systems engineering. It is not a widely standardized concept and is primarily found in informal or theoretical contexts, particularly in Finnish-language writing where it may be treated as a compound derived from prosessi (process) with a prefix or particle suggesting distribution or repetition.

Definition: In these discussions, perprosessins refers to a meta-level approach to organizing work where processing is framed per individual process instance rather than per project or per batch. It emphasizes treating each unit of work as its own process thread with dedicated resources, state tracking, and performance metrics.

Applications: In manufacturing, perprosessins would correspond to per-item process chains where each item follows its own sequence of steps. In software engineering, it might describe per-request or per-session pipelines that are independently orchestrated. In data processing, it could refer to per-record or per-block processing with isolated contexts.

Advantages and challenges: Potential benefits include improved traceability, fault isolation, and customization at the cost of higher orchestration overhead and complexity. Critics note that perprosessins can complicate synchronization, data consistency, and resource planning, especially at scale.

Status and see also: The term has limited use in published literature; it remains a speculative label rather than a formal standard. See also: process mining, modular workflow, per-process organization.
