Model

These rules apply to a Planet populated by Products, made by a Cyclo in a Process deployed across a Facility managed by a Company.

• The Process is specified by Cyclos, grouped in Stages.
• The Facility provides infrastructural & operational Resources.
• Stage and WiP (Work In Process) are first class citizens of Cyclo.
• The Stage allocates Resources to accomplish its task.
• Every Stage requires Skills to accomplish its task.
• The Skill is provided by a combination of People and/or Tools.
• The Stage buys Product from Planet as WiP.
• The Stage transforms WiP through the Cyclo.
• The Stage sells Product to Planet as WiP.
• WiP becomes Product that becomes WiP at another Cyclo.

The Stage, detailed below, allocates Facility resources divided into two categories:

• Facility Infrastructure: includes items like Shop Floor Area, Energy, Equipment, etc.
• Facility Operation: includes operational items with Skills, like People and Tools.
