Enterprise Processes

Comprehensive documentation for 2,886 APQC business processes with semantic analysis, Mermaid diagrams, and cross-links to industries, NAICS codes, verbs, and actions.

Overview

The APQC Process Classification Framework (PCF) is a comprehensive taxonomy of business processes that provides a common language for organizations worldwide. This documentation enhances the PCF with:

• Semantic Analysis: Detection of 392 compound verb patterns requiring parser fixes
• Mermaid Diagrams: Sequence, class, and state diagrams for each process
• Cross-Linking: Full integration with industries.org.ai, naics.org.ai, verbs.org.ai, and actions.org.ai
• Business-as-Code: Implementation examples using sdk.do

Process Categories

The APQC PCF organizes processes into 13 major categories:

1. Develop Vision and Strategy (1.0)
2. Develop and Manage Products and Services (2.0)
3. Market and Sell Products and Services (3.0)
4. Deliver Physical Products (4.0)
5. Deliver Services (5.0)
6. Manage Customer Service (6.0)
7. Develop and Manage Human Capital (7.0)
8. Manage Information Technology (8.0)
9. Manage Financial Resources (9.0)
10. Acquire, Construct, and Manage Assets (10.0)
11. Manage Enterprise Risk, Compliance, and Resiliency (11.0)
12. Manage External Relationships (12.0)
13. Develop and Manage Business Capabilities (13.0)

Semantic Parsing Analysis

392 processes (13.6%) contain compound verb patterns that should be split:

Example: accept.AndValidateSalesOrders

• ❌ Incorrect: Single process with compound verb
• ✅ Correct: Two separate processes:
  • accept.SalesOrders
  • validate.SalesOrders

See the semantic errors report for complete analysis.

Cross-Referencing

All process documentation includes:

Industries

Links to applicable industries.org.ai classifications

NAICS Codes

Links to specific NAICS codes for each process

Verbs

Links to base verbs.org.ai predicates

Actions

Links to composite actions.org.ai patterns

Implementation

import { $ } from 'sdk.do'

// Execute a process
await $.Process.execute({
  processId: 'develop.Products',
  verb: 'develop',
  object: 'products',
  industries: ['manufacturing', 'consumer-products'],
})

// Query processes by verb
const developProcesses = await db.list($.Process, {
  verb: 'develop',
  level: 4,
})

// Query processes by industry
const mfgProcesses = await db.related($.Industry.get('manufacturing'), $.applicableTo, $.Process)

Process Levels

The APQC PCF uses a hierarchical structure:

• Level 1: Category (13 categories)
• Level 2: Process Group (69 groups)
• Level 3: Process (212 processes)
• Level 4: Activity (872 activities)
• Level 5: Task (1,720 tasks)
