A  Business Capability is a conceptual Capability that benefits to Customers (internal or external) of the enterprise. It expresses an ability to produce Conceptual Outcome Events.

A  Business Capability is defined by its intended Enterprise Outcome Events and the conditions (Condition Property) under which the production of the Enterprise Outcome Events shall be proceeded.

The actual Condition Scale Values for a given Business Capability at different stages of Enterprise Initiatives is given by their exhibition (Exhibited Capability).

An  Operational Risk Type is a kind of Risk Type that refers to the potential for loss due to the enterprise's inadequate functioning.

An  Operational Risk Type is either Compliance Risk Type a or an Operating Risk Type.

A  Resource Action Process is a Action Process that describes a typical course of action intended to produce and react to Resource Outcome Events, through the involvement of Resource Agents (Participant Resource Agent).

During its course of action, a  Resource Action Process consumes or produces Resource Assets.

1) It may memorize or access Resource Assets to and from its Process Stores.

2) It may receive Resource Assets at its boundary: Resource Outcome Consumptions.

3) It may signal the production of Resource Assets at its boundary: Resource Outcome Productions.

The course of actions of an  Resource Action Process is constrained by the application of rules ( Resource Rule Enforcement) that define what is allowed and not allowed to do.

Within  SysFEAT, we can examine  Resource Action Processes from two distinct perspectives:

a) An operations business perspective is offered by Business Processes.

c) An automated viewpoint is provided by System Processes.

A  Resource Agent is an entity type which instance belongs to the physical space, and comprises Human Agents, Hardware Systems, Software Systems and Natural Resources.

This includes:

1) Business Agents which represent  physical resources that produce and react to Business Outcome Events of the enterprise.

2) Technology Systems which represents enabling systems that produce and react to  Technology Outcome Events.
