Abstract
Today’s design processes involve various persons and disciplines. Process participants are often distributed in different sites and might have diverse cultures. Thus, collaborations are often confusing due to the different parties. This paper uses a model considering 3 layers of collaborations: process, methods & tools and competencies & qualification. Each layer is modelled or supported by existing tools but a holistic modelling approach to represent relations between the 3 layers is missing. This research work proposes a modelling approach showing design processes on all 3 layers using BPMN.
