Business control model

Business control models display the primary processes that take
place within an organization, and show which business functions are used to
control those primary processes. A business control model consists of one or
more business control diagrams which can be structured
hierarchically.

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.
