This paper discusses the principles of a modelling technique called IDEF9000. IDEF9000 takes a systems view of a Fulfil Order Process and allows the modelling of activities, functional relationships and data. Developed from the original IDEF0 modelling technique, IDEF9000 uses an extended syntax and semantics to identify the links to the ISO 9001 quality standard and visually highlights them fo...

-The main purpose of this study was twofold. First, it adopted the theory of task ontology to build up a three-level mediating representation for a task analysis and the task of “Manage goods and materials” served as an example. Five phases, task analysis, task ontology, IDEF0 model, Petri net model, and PNML, are displayed for domain experts and can further transfer for computer to generate co...

This paper describes and analyzes how the flow of the value chain and the mapping of processes are linked, pointing out the main aspects in an industry that operates in stationery products and is headquartered in the region of Bauru, Brazill. Once the company decided to adopt the formal model for mapping of the flow of the value chain in a product, as an indicator of viability and observe the r...

Safety or the state of being safe can be described as a condition of being not dangerous or not harmful. It is necessary for an individual to avoid dangerous situations every day. Also, an organization is subject to legal requirements for the health and safety of persons inside and around the immediate workplace, or who are exposed to the workplace activities. Although it might be difficult to ...

The paper compares the IDEF0 [1], (sometimes referred to as SADT) and DSM (Design Structure Matrix) [2, 3] modelling techniques. They both serve the purpose of modelling information flows. The aim of the paper is to identify positive and negative aspects of the different modelling techniques, thereby suggesting what kind of problems the different techniques are best suited for and how the techn...

The objective of this paper is to provide a metric that could be used to define success in a collaborative network. The metric shows three kinds of measurements that might influence the success of collaborative networks. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by developing a methodology for measuring partners’ contribution, involvement and outcome in the collaborative network as a syst...
