"An Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) is a
particular type of flow-chart that can be used for configuring an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation.
Supported by many tools (e.g. SAP R/ 3).

as interchange format. ...

It can be used to drive the modeling, analysis and redesign of business process." [cli.di.unipi.it/ ~rbruni/ MPB-12/ 19-EPC.pdf]
The event-driven process chain (EPC) diagram example was drawn using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Event-driven Process Chain Diagrams solution from the Business Processes area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
