Software cannot make decisions about
how the elements of a particular system
operate and how they should interact with
each other.
This is a role of the modeler.

Structural Elements
Model objects represent the structural element in
a system such as machines, people, work items,
and work areas.
The object classification employed ProModel
includes:
Entities the items processed in the system.
Locations places where entities are processed or held.
Resources agents used in the processing of entities.
Paths the course of travel for entities and resources
in the system.

the system.
Entities may arrive in one or several ways:

Event triggered
Entities can arrive individually or in
batches.
