Abstract
Business process management is the task to accomplish work in organisations such that processes are carried out in some form of “optimal” way. Two important tasks of business process management are planning and scheduling. Planning is concerned with structuring the processes i.e. determining what needs to be carried out and in what sequence to achieve the objective of the process. Scheduling is concerned with assigning limited resources over time to competing activities of business processes. A modelling language is presented for the purposes of planning and scheduling in support of business process management.
