Analysis Method for IDEF3 Model Using Connectivity of Collaboration Object ―Acquisition and Evaluation of Scenario Using Synthetic Binding Method―

Abstract

In business or manufacturing process, various kinds of data, materials, and drawings are sent and received among individuals, facilities and organizations. Those can be regarded as the embodiments of collaborative relationship and specified by Synthetic Binding Method (SBM). In SBM, such relationships are captured to be represented as scenario of IDEF3 (Process Description Capture), which is easy for use of domain experts because its representation is intuitive.

In this paper, an evaluation measure for the scenario in IDEF3 is proposed. This measure focuses the collaborative object obtained by SBM and enables to capture and evaluate the scenario of the business or manufacturing processes.
