What’s the difference between IDEF0 and IDEF1?
IDEF0, used to produce a “function model”. A function model is a structured representation of the functions, activities or processes within the modeled system or subject area. IDEF1, used to produce an “information model”. An information model represents the structure and semantics of information within the modeled system or subject area.
How are IDEF diagrams used in function modeling?
IDEF0 Diagrams visualize system models using the Integration Definition for Function Modeling (IDEF) methodology. Use them for analysis, development and integration of information and software systems, and business process modelling.
What’s the difference between IDEF0 and IDEF3?
Arrows signifying Inputs, Controls, Outputs and Mechanisms are then added to the box. These are called ICOMS. The term Mechanism can be confusing but refers to the resources required to make the process work. In the IGOE development of IDEF, Mechanism is replaced by Enabler. IDEF0 and IDEF3 can be used to examine any business function or process.
