“…Robson (2002) does not differentiate between method and technique, and therefore this article uses both terms interchangeably. On the other hand, Checkland (1981) and Pandya (1995) concur in their definition of methodology as a set of principles of a method, which, applied to the particular situation, guide the user to develop a method uniquely suited to the problem. Lastly, a tool could be defined as a mechanism to generate and clarify ideas or thoughts (Wu 1996, Pandya 1995.…”

“…In Pandya (1995) a comparison of some methodologies and some modelling tools for business processes is undertaken and a guide showing their suitability in manufacturing management and business processes is proposed. Nevertheless, there is neither a classification of the methodologies and/or tools nor clear distinction between them.…”

A business process is the combination of a set of activities within an enterprise with a structure describing their logical order and dependence whose objective is to produce a desired result. Business process modelling enables a common understanding and analysis of a business process. A process model can provide a comprehensive understanding of a process. An enterprise can be analysed and integrated through its business processes. Hence the importance of correctly modelling its business processes.Using the right model involves taking into account the purpose of the analysis and, knowledge of the available process modelling techniques and tools. The number of references on business modelling is huge, thus making it very time consuming to get an overview and understand many of the concepts and vocabulary involved. The primary concern of this paper is to make that job easier, i.e. review business process modelling literature and describe the main process modelling techniques. Also a framework for classifying business process-modelling techniques according to their purpose is proposed and discussed. r

“…These modelling methods have been compared and evaluated by several researchers (Colquhoun et al, 1993;Doumeingts et al, 1995;Pandya, 1995;Pandya et al, 1997;Shorter, 1994). It is agreed that there is no single conceptual modelling method, which can completely model a manufacturing system or describe most of its subsystems (Al-Ahmari and Ridgway, 1999).…”

Globalisation is posing several challenges to the manufacturing sector. Design and operation of manufacturing systems are of great economic importance. Factory performance remains unpredictable in spite of the considerable literature on manufacturing productivity improvement, and the long history of manufacturing as there is no widespread agreement on how best be performed (Gershwin, 2000). Productivity measurement and improvement goes hand in hand, because one cannot improve what one cannot measure. The review of literature on manufacturing system productivity measurement and improvement has been summarised under four categories; they are Operations Research-(OR-) based methods, system analysis-based methods, continuous improvement methods and performance metrics-based methods. A survey of commercial tools available to measure manufacturing system performance is also performed. The review indicates that quantitative metrics for measuring factory level productivity and for performing factory level diagnostics (bottleneck detection, hidden capacity identification) are lacking. To address this gap, a factory level effectiveness metrics-based productivity measurement and diagnostic methodology is proposed.
