Summary
This chapter has introduced the concepts of Processes and why they are so important to MBSE. Processes are collected into a Process Set to form the heart of any good MBSE approach, alongside the Framework.
An approach to modeling Processes was introduced that is known as the seven-Views approach to Process modeling, and it was used to show how a Process may be defined.
The same approach was then also used to show how a Standard may be modeled; this will be referred back to in subsequent chapters in this book.
Finally, the Framework for the Process Perspective was defined.
The next chapter looks at the whole area of needs modeling. The Process modeling that we have learned about in this chapter will also be used to define a needs-based Process.
