Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system, for use with a computer integrated management system, to classify and serve as the data and information repository for a process or product specification and to classify groups of process resources. The Process Type method provides information to describe the outcome of a process. The organization describing a Process Type includes three basic components. The first component is an action. The action component describes what is to be done by the process. The second component is material. The material component describes the element upon which or with which the action described by the action component is performed. The third component is technology. The technology component describes the resource which performs the action described by the action component with or upon the material described by the material component. The resulting Process Type is then used to control a process or the generation of a product to achieve a desired result.
