Process Models in Design and Development
Read this article. It provides an overview of planning models. Pay particular attention to Figure 1 as it visually provides a global view of planning models. Then review Figures 2 -17 for more in-depth visual planning processes.
Meso-level models
Having completed the discussion of micro-level models, we now move on to consider meso-level models. To recap, while micro-level models focus mainly on individual activities in their context, meso-level models concern end-to-end flows of activity that occur during design and development. Procedural, analytical, abstract, and MS/OR models on the meso-level are discussed in the next subsections.
