ConceptSequence of process steps represented by arrows in an EPK
Prozessfluss
The process flow in an event-driven process chain describes the sequence and direction of process steps. It is represented by arrows between various elements such as events and functions. The process flow shows how the process develops over time and which activities are executed sequentially or in parallel. A correct representation of the process flow is crucial for understanding the entire business process.
