"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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.94.6.30 (talk • contribs) 00:21, August 23, 2006
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. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.64.92.39 (talk • contribs) 12:04, September 13, 2006
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)
It is not the same.' Keep the subjects separate. They are realy not the same. Telgeniaal 10:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Keep separate. The Process modeling page is general, and this is one of only several meanings/contexts. In order to keep that page from becoming overlong, this article is best kept individual IMHO. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 16:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
The current article is not well written, confuses much of the concepts of Business Process Modeling into the more generic topic of process modeling, and fails to clearly define the non-business types of process modeling in a coherent manner. The term Business Process was coined by Michael Hammer to differentiate Business Process from Manufacturing Process or Chemical Process.
Therefore, I would suggest that the Systems project would focus only on Business Process Modeling, not process modeling in general, and that the content from this article that is specific to business process modeling be moved to the Business Process Modeling topic.
I'm not sure that a topic on process modeling in general is going to be a particularly interesting one. --Nickmalik (talk) 03:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I just read this some more after I made the next talk item. I wanted to express my ideas here first, before I got into other peoples ideas. You are suggesting here, I repeat:
Now I agree on both suggestions and will proceed to do so sone, because nobody was agains you proposal.
I do think this article should focuss on all process modeling in general. As you said:
And also
And what ever other fields exist here. I think we can develop a article around this with a general intro and a section about types of process modeling. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 00:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I think this current article see here has multiple issues:
Now I noticed an older version, see here of the Business process modelling has been merged here 1 July 2007 by Radagast83. I wonder if it would be better split the both and develop both articles separately some more. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 00:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I was looking for a description to put in the disambiguation page Process, which has a link to this article. I had to look far into the article for a good description or definition. The introduction needs to be improved. Obankston (talk) 22:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
