Synopsis
The Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing Definition Method (IDEF0), and its predecessor Systems Analysis and Design technique (SADT), has been in use in the U.S.A., Europe, Australia and Japan for over thirty years. It is the most complete and fully tested system of methods for the design and description of complex systems, projects or enterprises available today. This 3rd edition provides extensive guidance to modelers who wish to learn, step-by-step, how to author, review, revise, stop and annotate an IDEF0/SADT model.
