in "action". ]] Process ( Lat. processus - movement) is a naturally occurring or designed sequence of Change s of Properties or Attribute s of an Object or System Francis Rawle's (1914) revision of John Bouvier (1839), ''Law Dictionary'' p.2731: Process "Process" ''Encyclopaedia Britannica, Eleventh Edition'' Wilbur B.

More precisely, and from the most general Systemic perspective, every process is representable as a particular trajectory (or part thereof) in a system's Phase Space . Every Measurement is a process. The process of measurement is the fundamental concept in Physics , and, in practice, in every field of science and engineering. For the above goal-oriented reason, from the industrial managerial point of view, the following inputs can be initially applied in an engineering process specification: people, machines and tools, materials, energy, information, professional knowledge, capital, time and space Elihu M.

A singular process would be one which has a singular property or occurs rarely. Few processes in nature can be considered singular. Most processes found in nature are recurrent, or repeat more than once. Recurring processes which repeat at a constant rate are considered periodic. The more periodic a process is the more useful it is as the basis of a Clock . Various specific processes:
