Process
A set of related activities our enterprise carries out.
Description
Processes are the flows of activities needed for product creation (either directly or indirectly). They transform a set of inputs into a set of products or intermediary outputs and consist of a set of activities that are performed in coordination in an organisational or technical environment. A process is composed of activities connected by flow relationships. It can be strictly structured (the sequence/flows stay more or less the same in every process instance) or less structured (activities may be omitted, the sequence/flows can vary). Processes can run across several organisational units or can be performed within one organisational unit only.
Well-designed processes lead to enterprises that operate efficiently and effectively across all required organisational units.
