IDEF0 function modeling is designed to represent the decisions, actions, and activities
of an existing or prospective organization or system. IDEF0 graphics and accom-panying texts
are presented in an organized and systematic way to gain understanding, support analysis,
provide logic for potential changes, specify requirements, and support system-level design and
integration activities. IDEF0 may be used to model a wide variety of systems, composed of
people, machines, materials, computers, and information of all varieties and structured by the
relationships among them, both automated and nonautomated. For new systems, IDEF0 may be
used first to define requirements and to specify functions to be carried out by the future system.
As the basis of this architecture, IDEF0 may then be used to design an implementation that
meets these requirements and performs these functions. For existing systems, IDEF0 can be
used to analyze the functions that the system performs and to record the means by which these
are done.
