The Business Process Model deals
with four main process groupings. Strategy Processes
main concern is to create and deliver a business plan with functional targets and objectives to Tactical Processes.
Tactical Processes
ensure that the required capacity exists to manage all events in the business system. This it does through the planning and control of capacity and events in the supply chain network. The Supply Chain Network Processes
include all processes that move raw material to the final product and service to the customer. The fourth group, Support Processes, provides process support for the other three process groups in the business system.
