Logistic Process Modelling
Process modelling generates a representation of the activities performed by an organization,
person or system, including the decomposition and sequence of the activities.
Techniques used to document process models include IDEF3, UML, BPMN and Flowcharting.
If a sequence independent view is required, then Activity Modelling using methodologies such as IDEF0 is
more suitable. This is sometimes referred to as function modelling.
These techniques can be useful when scoping a set of activities of interest,
where decisions on which organizations or people or systems will perform each activity
- and when - have not yet been made.
In either case, appropriate information requirements
(inputs and outputs) are usually included if the models are to be used as a basis for further analysis
and / or information system development.
Models generated can be either:
- As-is, which describe the existing situation.
- To-be, which describe what the processes will be following a business process re-engineering
exercise.
Through previous work in different industrial sectors, the LInC partners have substantial experience in
all aspects of business process analysis, modelling and documentation. This has included work in the following
domains:
- Through life support planning.
- Information management.
- Configuration management.
- Support concept development.
- Support solution development.
- Support optimization.
- Asset management.
- Fleet management.
- Maintenance management.
- Obsolescence management.
- Risk management.
- Training management.
- Disposal management.
