Meta-process modeling supports the effort of creating flexible [[process model]]s. The purpose of process models is to document and communicate processes and to enhance the reuse of processes. Thus, processes can be better taught and executed. Results of using meta-process models are an increased productivity of process engineers and an improved quality of the models they produce.<ref name="Rolland 1998" />
