Zachman Definition

"Work Flow Model"

This is the model of the actual Enterprise allocation of responsibilities and specification of work products.  Typically, an organization chart expresses the allocation of responsibilities but other supporting documents describe the work products.  To be complete, the organization chart would have to be supplemented with work products (control work, coordination work and operational work) and identification of the originating and receiving organization units.

Select Perspective

Within the Select Perspective required business work products are expressed initially as the outputs from Business Processes, which in turn are linked to the Business Actors that have the responsibility to carry out the Business Processes.  This detail is captured as part of the Business Architecture Phase of the Consume Workflow of the Supply, Manage and Consume (SMaC) Service and Component Based Development model.

Thus the Select Perspective may be used to capture the required detail for this cell and an organization chart may be built using the Business Actors, Facilities and Functions discovered in the Zachman Scope-People and Business-Network cells.
