Information structure specifies the information required for making
decisions and performing activities in a process of developing a
simulation
models
in

to
measure
XYZ
Company's impact on
business process and performance. Furthermore, limited information
availability is a common cause for process inefficiencies. Thus,
information enables coordination (Manuel, L & Marklund, J 2005).
2.2.3.Workflow Management Systems
Management of
administrative
processes
in
the
field
of
Information
Systems
is often referred to as workflow management. In workflow
management systems, control actions taken on documents moving through a
business
process
(Aalst
W,
&
Hee,
K
2002).
Workflow
management
systems
are used to control who does what to a specific document
Thus, by using our comprehensive
process definition; process is considered equals to workflow. Workflow is the
prime focus of each model, emphasizing a process rather that a functional
orientation
(Manuel,
L
and
Marklund,
J
2005).
Furthermore,
one
or
more
data
flow diagrams as known as business
process
diagram
are
including
into
this
business model step. Such methods has several examples such as data flow
diagrams (DFD), role activity diagram (RAD), process map, action workflow,
and entity relationship diagram (ERD) as shown in
Appendix
D;
Figure
D-5.
These methods are applied in system analysis and design, database, and
business process modeling. Although they have similar constraints, it requires
different
notations
and
perspectives
in

to
