Increasing competition is the main factor which forces to reduce the costs of engineering processes like the design or change of components. Furthermore, other properties of engineering processes are their long processing time and unstructured subtasks that are characterised by high creativity. Derived from an industrial project at DaimlerChrysler, experiences in modeling and supporting engineering processes in a distributed and heterogeneous engineering environment show additional problems. These specific requirements and prerequisites are outlined in more detail. Support for engineering workflows demands additional features which today's workflow management systems (WIMS) do not offer. A new workflow management approach, the WEP model (Workflow Management for Engineering Drocesses), offers needed concepts for this application domain.
