		<title>Comment on The Modeling Startup Kit by Caspar</title>

		<description>John,

From memory (it's been a while since I last used ProVision) the workflow modeler allows you to use swimlanes. Any process you drag onto a swimlane is automatically associated with the organization the swimlane represents. 

If your question is "Can you have the software draw a workflow with swimlanes once you linked processes to organizations" then I have to say that I have not seen an application to date that does that.

My approach for generating workflow/process diagrams is following:
1. Interview the people that perform the work or their direct managers. 
2. Normalize the processes (use standard process IDs/names).
3. Draw swimlanes to represent the organizations/roles
4. Drop the processes in the swimlanes
5. Add inputs/outputs (connect processes).
6. Optionally add other relevant information (technology used, skills etc).

Most case tools I used allow you to list (not a picture but a list of process descriptions) all processes a role or organization is associated with. The picture turns into a list of responsibilities by role or organization.

On Visio: Metastorm markets a Vision importer for ProVision. It helps getting the pictures in ProVision. You still have to do the process, role and organization setup and association.</description>

		<description>Great article.  We just went through some of this last year and this year.  We captured to Visio and are looking to find the right tool to convert into.    A question on the ProVision or other CASE tools - after you capture the flow, are you able to generate swimlane diagrams by role for the process?  Or do you capture it in that format?  Do you have an example you can genericize and post?  Thanks.</description>

		<description>In the outsourced situation, it’s a bit easier:
&lt;p align="center"&gt;Your.D2.3 → Your.S2.1 → Supplier.Dx.1 → Supplier.Dx.2 → Supplier.Dx.3 etc. &lt;/p&gt;
It’s all routed through the sourcing process. Please note the x for the supplier processes. X can be 1 (Make to Stock for your supplier), 2 (Make to Order for your supplier) or in some cases even 3 (Engineer to Order).</description>

		<description>As you say it would be appropriate to show D2.3 -&#62; M2.1, in other words the lot sequencing which is done by the Manufacturing Execution System uses the customer orders as one of the inputs... in other words the 'Make' really is 'to Order'! I will assume this in the rest of my analysis.
 
Since our manufacturing is outsourced, we do not do any M processes, but I'll be sure to verify with our suppliers.</description>
