== Regarding the proposed merge (of [[Business process modeling]] into [[Process modeling]]) ==
;Please sign your comments with the Wiki code <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your comments!
"Process modelling" is also a term used by chemical/process engineers to refer to their efforts to model chemical processing plants. BPM should therefore be specified fully, not shortened as in the present article.
:I do not see why, the chemical processing plant is still a business, and as such the modelling of its workings fits within the business process modelling paradigm. [[User:Ansell/Esperanza|<span style="color:#0000FF;">Ans<span style="color:#009000;">e</span>ll</span>]] 07:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Please note that the process modeling for process engineering refer to mathematical models which mimics the actual process. For example, a process model for a blast furnace (used to make steel) would capture all the physico-chemical reactions and try to predict the temperature and completion of various reactions during the charge descent. This is surely not a business process modeling.
:If this is true, the article surely does not reflect any of what you said (no mention of chemicals, blast furnaces, steel making, or tempature) and only refers to how it's used in a ''business''. [[User:Radagast83|Radagast83]] 20:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

: Update to the comment above. There are not two articles. There is one article and a redirect. --[[User:Nickmalik|Nickmalik]] ([[User talk:Nickmalik|talk]]) 16:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
::There should be no redirection. Process Modelling and Business process modelling are in some way similar, but they are no way the same. Please leave them separated.
: Update to the comment above. The request was to keep things seperate that are not, in fact, seperate. I interpret this to mean "seperate these" things --[[User:Nickmalik|Nickmalik]] ([[User talk:Nickmalik|talk]]) 16:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Business Process Modeling or BPM is the currently accepted nomenclature for business-specific modeling exercises. While process modeling can be executed for anything, there are specific challenges present when working within in the business arena. It would be of benefit to the business community to address those specifics here.
'''It is not the same.'''' Keep the subjects separate. They are realy not the same.

'''Keep separate.''' The [[Process modeling]] page is general, and this is one of only several meanings/contexts. In order to keep [[Process modeling|that page]] from becoming overlong, this article is best kept individual IMHO. [[User:Davidbspalding|David Spalding]] (<big><
::Business Process Modeling (BPM) should be kept seperate. While there are obvious commonalities, BPM must take into account human factors and constraints. I, for one, have argued that BPM does not go far enough in taking human constraints into account. Anyone interested in this point of view should contact me directly for the recently releases white paper, "Improving the Business Process Model." --mlefcowitz 11:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC) <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mlefcowitz|Mlefcowitz]] ([[User talk:Mlefcowitz|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mlefcowitz|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

The current article is not well written, confuses much of the concepts of Business Process Modeling into the more generic topic of process modeling, and fails to clearly define the non-business types of process modeling in a coherent manner. The term Business Process was coined by Michael Hammer to differentiate Business Process from Manufacturing Process or Chemical Process.
Therefore, I would suggest that the Systems project would focus only on Business Process Modeling, not process modeling in general, and that the content from this article that is specific to business process modeling be moved to the Business Process Modeling topic.
I'm not sure that a topic on process modeling in general is going to be a particularly interesting one.

== New subsection ==
I just read this some more after I made the next talk item. I wanted to express my ideas here first, before I got into other peoples ideas. You are suggesting here, I repeat:
# The BPM-specific content be moved to the BPM page,
Line 60 ⟶ 70:
Now I noticed an older version, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Business_process_modeling&oldid=140846800 ''here''] of the [[Business process modelling]] has been merged here 1 July 2007 by Radagast83. I wonder if it would be better split the both and develop both articles separately some more. -- [[User:Mdd|Marcel Douwe Dekker]] ([[User talk:Mdd|talk]]) 00:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
== Comment on the Introduction ==
I was looking for a description to put in the disambiguation page [[Process]], which has a link to this article. I had to look far into the article for a good description or definition. The introduction needs to be improved.
