Definition

Plan which include steps and sequence required to produce a product at the required quality level and cost.

Semi-Formal Definition:

If x is β€˜process plan’ then x is a β€˜plan specification’ and every β€˜objective specification’ which is a continuant part of x is a β€˜production order’, and every β€˜action specification’, which is a continuant part of x is either a β€˜operation specification’ or β€˜process specification’.

Examples

  • IKEA instructions to assemble furniture such as tables and chairs, and a step-by-step recipe for preparing a cake.

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Definition

ProcessPlan(x) ↔ PlanSpecification(x) ∧
βˆ€y ((continuantPartAtAllTimes(y, x) ∧ ObjectiveSpecification(y)) β†’ ProductionOrder(y)) ∧
βˆ€z ((continuantPartAtAllTimes(z, x) ∧ ActionSpecification(z)) β†’ (OperationSpecification(z) ∨ ProcessSpecification(z)))

First-Order Logic Axioms

PlanSpecification(x) ∧ βˆƒy(prescribes(x,y) ∧ ProductProductionProcess(y)) β†’ ProcessPlan(x)

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

x is a β€˜plan specification’ if and only if x prescribes a β€˜product production process’ then x is a β€˜process plan’.
