Description
Summary:The example described above has been configured into a commercial business discrete-event modeling software tool and is shown in Figure 2. The different squares in the figure are different types of "objects" that represent various activities, decision points, project start and end points, etc. (analogous to unit operations in a chemical process). These are connected by "paths" along which work (and/or information) "flows" from one activity to the next.
