EPC in ARIS and Prime Arch

Organisation in EPC and Prime Arch

Läs på svenska

An organisation’s involvement in a workflow needs to be described at the appropriate level. An organisational unit, a position, a person role and a person represent different things, even when they participate in the same work.

The mapping connects organizational unit to Organizational Unit (O31), position to Position (O51), person to Person (O53), and role to Person Role (O52). This preserves the distinction between organisational structure, a position, responsibility in a role and an individual human being.

Location and physical facility

ARIS location has two connections in the illustration: Location (X10) and Physical Facility (FD21). In use, establish whether the source object describes where something is located or the facility itself. The illustration alone does not determine whether both concepts apply to a particular occurrence.

Follow the metaobject links for their definitions and usage when describing organisational participation in a process.
