List of Business Processes

A list of processes or functions that the enterprise performs or the transformation of enterprise inputs into outputs. The list is a fairly high level of aggregation. The model defines the scope or boundaries of the models of processes the enterprise performs.

Business Process Model

The business process model is a model of the actual business processes that the enterprise performs independently of any system or implementation considerations and organizational constraints. It can be represented as a structured methods-style model expressing business transformations (processes) and their inputs and outputs.

Application Architecture

A component of the design architecture that defines the major applications needed to manage data and support business functions.

System Design

Considered a model; however, technically, this would not be a model but a design because the enterprise is no longer visible in the representation. At a high level of abstraction, it would be a structure chart and in detail, action diagram-style expressions that would constitute implementation of the logical systems, or application architecture. In object-oriented notation, this would be the methods and their realization.

Programs

The programs derived from the action diagram-style or object-style specifications for the implementation. With the appropriate engineering design, these could become the prefabricated components to be assembled into more than one implementation.
