Workflow processes
Here is a different kind of example than the manufacturing / assembly type of process. The first example we ran into was translation. A translation goes through several processes before it is done, but it is still the same resource. We added the concept of stages, which lives on the resource. Here is the use case.
First cut, focusing on the differences with assembly processes:
Process: - Process type: Initial translation -- Inflows: -- Outflows: ---- Produce flow: ------ Date: 2016/3/5 ------ Quantity: 2500 ------ Unit: Words ------ Agent: Stacco ------ Resource type: Spanish document ------ Resource: Spanish translation of VF intro @ Initial translation
Process: - Process type: Edit translation -- Inflows: ---- To be changed flow: ------ Date: 2016/3/5 ------ Quantity: 2500 ------ Unit: Words ------ Resource type: Spanish document ------ Resource: Spanish translation of VF intro @ Initial translation -- Outflows: ---- Changed flow: ------ Date: 2016/3/8 ------ Quantity: 2500 ------ Unit: Words ------ Agent: Ann Marie ------ Resource type: Spanish document ------ Resource: Spanish translation of VF intro @ Edit translation
Process: - Process type: Proofread translation -- Inflows: ---- To be changed flow: ------ Date: 2016/3/9 ------ Quantity: 2500 ------ Unit: Words ------ Resource type: Spanish document ------ Resource: Spanish translation of VF intro @ Edit translation -- Outflows: ---- Changed flow: ------ Date: 2016/3/9 ------ Quantity: 2500 ------ Unit: Words ------ Agent: Guy ------ Resource type: Spanish document ------ Resource: Spanish translation of VF intro @ Proofread translation
