Business control diagram

The objectives of a business control model:

• To provide support during implementation of the LN software. This is done by visualizing the primary process, and by discussing the functionality that must be implemented to control the primary process.
• To automatically add the business processes to the business model, according to the outcome of the discussion as represented in the final Business Control Diagram.

An unlimited number of business control diagrams can be defined for each business control model. Each diagram shows one part of the primary process in an enterprise unit or logistical company, and the business functions used to control it.

A business control model shows the relationships between the different business functions and all other parts of the model, such as the goods flow, the information process, and the control process. The business functions used in a business control model can be linked to business functions in a business function model.

You could build your business control model in a way that would divide your organization in two levels:

• An overall business control diagram.
• Business control diagrams that each represent a business case.

Constructing your business control model in this way means you have one top business control diagram with several child business control diagrams that represent the different departments/sections within your organization.
