Process structure
According to REFA, the process structure illustrates the logical sequence of subtasks that lead to the completion of an overall task.
The processes can have different structures. This essentially depends on whether the activities and work items are linked in a simple sequence in the respective work system, or are parallel or alternative. Seven basic forms of processes are distinguished:
- Succession, a structure without divisions or merges,
- And division,
- Or division,
- Merging after an AND division,
- Merging after an OR division,
- And feedback and
- Or feedback.
The REFA methodology has its own process structure . Since no software is offered for this purpose, it has a purely didactic meaning today. However, it has been incorporated into a number of software packages. Drain structures are represented among others by the following representations: Process chain diagram , supply chain diagram , network planning , follow-up plan , event-driven process chain and the like.
