A Generative AI-Based Framework for Business Process Orchestration in Industrial Enterprises

Galina Ilieva, Yuliy Iliev

This study develops an integrated generative artificial intelligence (GAI) framework for improving business process performance in industrial enterprises. The framework treats GAI not as the isolated use of generative tools, but as a governable information systems capability embedded in recurring workflows, enterprise architectures, documented knowledge, and human decision roles. It integrates four functional subframeworks—manufacturing, marketing and sales, accounting and finance, and human resource management—with a shared orchestration and governance layer. This layer coordinates process architecture, approved data and knowledge sources, reusable GAI capabilities, human-in-the-loop validation, traceability, escalation, and performance measurement. A proof-of-concept maturity-readiness validation is conducted in an electronics company using maturity-readiness logic inspired by the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI). The assessment shows an increase in the overall readiness score from 41.60 in the pre-GAI baseline to 79.08 in the post-GAI implementation scenario. Accordingly, the score increase is interpreted as expert-assessed maturity-readiness evidence rather than as a measured causal effect on operational performance. This study contributes a process-centric reference architecture designed for technical implementability, traceability, auditability, and human-supervised enterprise-scale GAI adoption.
