The individualization in demand has led to an enormous increase in the complexity of products and processes in internal company practice. That is why the management of complexity is one of the main company targets, especially in the automotive industry. With an Integrated Process and Data Model (IPDM) current business processes can be completely illustrated by a new documentation method called documentation of interconnections.

Therefore, the strategically foundation for an extensive and process accompanying management of complexity is laid.
