With this set of flow sheets we can understand what transform, transfer and store processes contribute to delivering an outcome, and where dependencies between them exist - both within and between levels. Within the Business Process Framework the relationships defined by these layered flow sheets are referred to as the Business Structure. The Business Structure hierarchy is define by creating a series of layered Value Driver Tress and/or Value Stream diagrams that represent the flow of material or information that occurs between or within the levels of the Business Structure (e.g. ore, concentrate, steam, oxygen, purchase orders, costs, etc.).
