Question

Consider the SADT models the two processes, Process 1 (Fig. 1) and Process 2 (Fig. 2). The activities in each of the two models are identical. Each activity in the two models representing industrial processes has a dedicated resource. The two models differ the content and flow of items and information. Figure 1. SADT model of process 1 Figure 2. SADT model of process 2 Assuming that the duration of each activity is 1 hour, which of the two models would you select if were a product development manager?

Explanation / Answer

According to the information given in the question, each activity takes one hour for execution.

Both the diagrams have a similar structure, the only difference is the loop configuration:

Process 1: E-M-A-M

Process 2: E-A-M-A

Depending on the causal dependency in between M and A activities, you should choose the Process.

Though if the alphabets signify certain order and roles, then Process 1 is preferable.
