In the [[Fundamentals of Business Process Management]] and in various other forums I've seen processes named using a "start-to-end" convention, which I like.

Examples: - order-to-cash - application-to-acceptance - procure-to-pay These are a bit clearer than just "product realization", "applying", and "procurement". **** # More ## Source - [[Fundamentals of Business Process Management]]
