Modeling and analyzing of medical material purchasing workflow based on Petri net / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective: In the purchasing process of medical material, it is important that the proper design of each part concerned as well as the optimization and allocation of suitable resources for the model be solved. Methods:Based on the structure and formal definition and process modeling of Petri net, the modeling is established for the mapping from the route mode of workflow to Petri net. Results:Moreover, a rationality validation algorithm for the workflow and a workflow optimization algorithm are proposed. Conclusion: The results indicate that this method is brief and direct in modeling and analyzing of workflow, which will also provide theoretical support for the development of a purchasing software system.
