Designing a system
I'm designing a new system for a new factory or plant.
First stap define the business proces model
Technique used:
Swimlane
A row on a business process diagram. A way of indicating who is responsible for a given process or activity. Swimlanes are named on the left side of the process diagram. In most cases swimlanes are assigned to departments, groups within departments, individuals, or to applications, systems of applications or databases. In exceptional cases, swimlanes may represent geographical regions. Processes, sub-processes or activities that fall within a given swimlane are the responsibility of the entity named on the left axis of the process diagram. (Some workflow tools represent swimlanes as vertical rows. In effect, this would rotate the process diagrams we show in this book 90 degrees. This is arbitrary, we simply prefer to have processes flow from left to right rather than from the top, down.)

Another thought to use, ISA95 standards. see www.s95.nl or www.isa-95.com
