Identification and Representation of Enterprise Processes Based on Numbered Causation Graphs

This paper proposes an approach to identification and representation of enterprise processes based on numbered inference graphs. Using Graph Theory, enterprise processes can be transformed into constraint directed graphs. Also the paper introduces methods for obtaining simplified graphs and numbered causation graphs. The presentation provides fundamental activities and their relationship in enterprise processes with unique graph symbols, gives the order in which the fundamental activities act with the hypothesis of mythical causality,removessuperfluous unreasonable activities and realizes correctly the division of enterprise processes. The method is demonstrated with a case of making purchases in anenterprise, which proves the effectiveness of the method.
