A representation of the logic of a process in terms of the actions carried out on each entity analysis object involved and the conditions constraining these actions. The degree of detail specified in the diagram can be varied to suit the nature of the problem, the objectives of the project and the availability of automated tools.
Process Action Diagrams in Process to Procedure Mapping (BSD)
A process action diagram describes, in its entirety, the inherent logic of an elementary process defined in Business Area Analysis, including attribute actions and exception processing. During process to procedure mapping, the association is established between a process and procedures. During procedure action diagramming, that association is examined to determine how the logic can be used within the procedure. The process action diagram conventions are similar to those for a procedure action diagram.
