Method for determining process sequences

Abstract

A method for determining process sequences from individual process data (21), which occur repeatedly in successive process steps, have a variable value (22) and a constant reference content (23), is described, wherein, for successive process steps, the process data (21) are assigned to unique existing object data records with value (28) or object data records with value (28) that are to be newly created using their detected value (22) and using their reference content (23). In order to record process data with high integrity and to be able to determine process sequences, it is proposed that the object data records with value (28) are linked to object data records without value (30, 33) via object relation data records (29, 32) according to their reference content (23), wherein the existing object data records (28) are linked to a process step data record assigned to the respective process step via a process input data record and the newly created object data records (30, 33) and object relation data records (29, 32) are linked to the process step data record via a process output data record.
