Framework Concept	Framework Definition	SysFEAT Concept	SysFEAT Definition
Action Process	An abstract type that represents a behavior or process (i.e. a Function or OperationalActivity) that can be performed by a Performer. References: OMG - UAF - Process	Action Process	An Action Process is a Behavior that describes a typical course of action intended to produce Outcome Events, through the involvement of Agents as Active Participants. During its course of action, a process consumes or produces Functional Assets, including Information Assets. 1) It may memorize or access Information Assets from and to its Process Stores. 2) It may receive Functional Assets at its boundary: Outcome Consumptions. 3) It may signal the production of Functional Assets at its boundary: Outcome Productions. The course of actions of a Action Process is constrained ( Rule Enforcement) by the application of Behavioral Rules that define what is allowed and not allowed to do. Within SysFEAT, we can examine Action Processes from two distinct perspectives: a) A conceptual standpoint is provided by Value Streams. b) A concrete implementation standpoint is provided by Resource Action Processes.

Function		Business Process	A Business Process is a set of Business-Process Steps performed by Org-Units and/or by automated systems (Business Systems) to produce a Business Outcome Event. It is depicted as a series of Business-Process Steps, controlled by Business Events and conditions. Business-Process Steps are carried out by the involvment of Org-Units and system resources (often Applications) as participants in the process (Participant Business Agents). During its course of action, a Business Process consumes or produces Business Objects. 1) It may memorize or access Business Objects from its Process Store. 2) It may receive Business Objects at its boundary: Business Outcome Consumption. 3) It may signal the production of Business Objects at its boundary: Business Outcome Production. The course of actions of a Business Process is constrained by the application of rules ( Business Rule Enforcement) that define how to react to what is allowed and not allowed to do, References: ISO 9000 - 3.4.1 - Process Lean.org - Value Stream Lean.org - Value Stream Mapping OMG - BMM - Business Process OMG - BPMN - Process OMG - UAF - Function OpenGroup - OAA - Process OpenGroup - TOGAF - Enterprise Metamodel Overview OpenGroup - TOGAF 9 - Definition - Process
