Discovering the business through Event Storming
The MQLS case starts without assuming a predefined end-to-end process. The aim is to surface the business reality that already exists: events, decisions, states, responsibilities, information and business objects.
Business purpose
A Material Quality Lot Submission bundles the evidence needed to assess whether a supplier's material lot is suitable for further use. It connects supplier information, quality requirements, documents, approvals and the final quality decision.
What the workshop makes visible
- business events and state changes,
- commands and decisions,
- supplier and customer responsibilities,
- relevant business objects and information,
- rules, approvals and dependencies.
Why this is not the final model
Event Storming is used as an entry point. The discovered elements are then structured and connected in the semantic model. The process view can be derived later from that shared meaning.
Key idea
The workshop does not create a prettier process diagram. It helps uncover the business meaning from which different views can later be produced.
