Examples are<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Manufacturing Process</li>
<li>Sales Process</li>
<li>Management Process</li>
</ul>
<br />
Rather than putting an effort to define each process type to understand the word "Process" it is best to understand the components that make up a Process.<br />
<br />
A Process is Made of three components<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The triggering event</li>
<li>The activities</li>
<li>The Results</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
The triggering event is what causes a person or machine to start performing the activities to obtain the required Result. There are three types of events<br />
1. Action events<br />
2. Temporal or time events<br />
3. Rule or Conditional events.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Activities</span></b><br />
<br />
Activity does not include any decision making, is converts the input to the desired result. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Results</b></span><br />
<br />
Is the outcome of a single execution of a process and have the following characteristics<br />
1. The result is discrete and Identifiable<br />
2. The result is countable<br />
3. The result is essential.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Now What is a Process</b></span><br />
<br />
A Process is a set of linked activities that is performed in response to a event to produce a result. Within the process decision could be made to choose between activities to produce the desired result. Thus a single process could generate multiple results.<br />
