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

Macro-level analytical models

Macro-level analytical models can be used to investigate and address the impact of a process' context. There are two main groups of such model: queueing models and system dynamics (SD) models. These are discussed in the next two subsections.
