Enterprise engineering deals with the design of processes which aim to improve the structure and efficiency of business organizations. It develops approaches based on modeling techniques, particularly on business process modeling, to ensure the quality and the global consistency of enterprise strategies and expectations. Nowadays, risk consideration in enterprise engineering is a growing concern since the business environment is becoming more and more competitive, complex, and unpredictable. To face this concern, a paradigm named risk-aware business process management (R-BPM) has recently emerged. It seeks to integrate the two traditionally isolated fields of risk management and business process management. Despite the significant benefits that can arise from the use of R-BPM, it suffers from a lack of solid scientific foundations and dedicated tooling. This present research work contributes to bridging that gap in a twofold way: (i) by establishing the BPRIM Business Process-Risk Integrated Method framework, and (ii) by designing a dedicated tool, named adoBPRIM which supports the efficient application of the BPRIM framework. This paper first comprehensively presents the foundation of BPRIM which is based on three main components and, secondly, its dedicated tool adoBPRIM which was designed using the ADOxx meta-modeling platform. An evaluation with a real case study in the health care domain shows the relevance of the methodological framework.
