Talk:Process modeling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding the possible merge: "Process modelling" is also a term used by chemical/process engineers to refer to their efforts to model chemical processing plants. BPM should therefore be specified fully, not shortened as in the present article.

I do not see why, the chemical processing plant is still a business, and as such the modelling of its workings fits within the business process modelling paradigm. Ansell 07:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Please note that the process modeling for process engineering refer to mathematical models which mimics the actual process. For example, a process model for a blast furnace (used to make steel) would capture all the physico-chemical reactions and try to predict the temperature and completion of various reactions during the charge descent. This is surely not a business process modeling.

If this is true, the article surely does not reflect any of what you said (no mention of chemicals, blast furnaces, steel making, or tempature) and only refers to how it's used in a business. Radagast83 20:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Could someone please be more clear about "the possible merge [of what??]" above? It appears that this is a discussion that's been going on for a while but much of this history has been removed, making it more difficult for newcommers to follow.

There are currently two articles: Process modeling and Business process modeling. This is further confused by the entry for Business Process Modeling which redirects to Process modeling. I'd like to remove the exiting Business Process Modeling redirect. Does anyone object? Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) Karlhauth 13:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
