"An Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) is a type of flowchart used for business process modelling. Event-driven Process Chains can be used for configuring an enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation, and for business process improvement. ...
Businesses use Event-driven Process Chain diagrams to lay out business process work flows, originally in conjunction with SAP R/ 3 modeling, but now more widely. It is used by many companies for modeling, analyzing, and redesigning business processes. The Event-driven Process Chain method was developed within the framework of Architecture of Integrated Information Systems (ARIS). As such it forms the core technique for modeling in ARIS, which serves to link the different views in the so-called control view." [Event-driven process chain. Wikipedia]

The vector stencils library "IDEF3 object schematic symbols" contains 12 shapes: objects, links, relations, junctions, connection arrow and line, temporal indeterminacy marker. Use it to design your IDEF3 object schematic diagrams.
"Object Schematics.
IDEF offers a series of building blocks to express detailed object-centered process information; that is, information about how objects of various kinds are transformed into other kinds of things through a process, or how objects of a given kind change states through a process.
- Objects : An object of a certain kind, like a chassis, will be represented simply by a circle containing an appropriate label.
- Object States : A certain kind of object being in a certain state will be represented by a circle with a label that captures the kind itself and a corresponding state, representing thereby the type, or class, of objects that are in that state.
- Object schematics : The construction of complex representations built from kind symbols and object state symbols.
- Transition Schematics : The first and most basic construct is the basic state transition schematic or simply, transition schematic." [IDEF3. Wikipedia]

Databases Access Objects Model with ConceptDraw PRO

ConceptDraw Basic gives the opportunity of interaction with any ODBC-compatible databases. For this the Database Access Objects Model is provided. All calls to the database are made by certain methods of objects of this model.
"Order processing is a key element of Order fulfillment. Order processing operations or facilities are commonly called "distribution centers". "Order processing" is the term generally used to describe the process or the work flow associated with the picking, packing and delivery of the packed item(s) to a shipping carrier. The specific "order fulfillment process" or the operational procedures of distribution centers are determined by many factors. Each distribution center has its own unique requirements or priorities. There is no "one size fits all" process that universally provides the most efficient operation." [Order processing. Wikipedia]

The vector stencils library "Active Directory" contains 20 symbols of Active Directory objects for drawing AD network diagrams. It helps network and system administrators to visualize Microsoft Windows Active Directory structures for network design, installation and maintainance.
"Objects.
An Active Directory structure is an arrangement of information about objects. The objects fall into two broad categories: resources (e.g., printers) and security principals (user or computer accounts and groups). Security principals are assigned unique security identifiers (SIDs).
Each object represents a single entity - whether a user, a computer, a printer, or a group - and its attributes. Certain objects can contain other objects. An object is uniquely identified by its name and has a set of attributes - the characteristics and information that the object represents - defined by a schema, which also determines the kinds of objects that can be stored in Active Directory.
The schema object lets administrators extend or modify the schema when necessary. However, because each schema object is integral to the definition of Active Directory objects, deactivating or changing these objects can fundamentally change or disrupt a deployment. Schema changes automatically propagate throughout the system. Once created, an object can only be deactivated - not deleted. Changing the schema usually requires planning. Sites are implemented as a set of well-connected subnets." [Active Directory. Wikipedia]
