Complex technologies of all industrial ranges require increasingly a holistic view of the entire technological process chains. In many methods processes are illustrated as already established and approved technological processes. The way up to an executable technological process is not supported. Straight in the technologically oriented R&D the know-how which is necessary for reproducible quality-assuring production is developed. In this paper new methods for the technologically oriented modelling and analysis of process chains are described which allow to effectively generate operational technology knowledge.
