basic object modeling

Object modeling is designed to graphically capture that major actions in a business process. it does so through a set of standard icons (i.e. pictures of boxes, lines, etc.)that can be understood by all viewers of the process in the same way.

Themodeling is done through the description of objects (discreet actions that perform work). Initially, the modeling is done at a high level (perhaps the organization itself), but is then decomposed (brought down to the technical level where work isactually performed)so that the activities can be better understood.

Once the model is created using one of several available commercial tools, it can be reviewed for potential improvment opportunities that can increase productivity, reduce cost, or better align work execution.

Hope this helps
