| Summary: | The basic issue in this paper is an interdisciplinary problem that directly involves several engineering disciplines. The problem is the lack of theoretical foundation and a uniform language to transcribe specification and enhance understanding. In this context, in production management a fundamental doctrine has been proposed based on the notion of flow. Recently, in computer science, the notion of flow has been utilized to develop a modeling methodology called Flowthing Model (FM) that schematizes the description of systems. This paper focuses on these two lines of research that explicitly assert that they adopt a flow-based paradigm. The paper applies FM to develop a schematic representation for processes and operation in the field of production. The resultant specification seems to provide a basic needed framework in this domain. |
