definition a constraint which holds immediately after an activity
has taken place
variants An output can be one of several types. We have
identified four types: authority, condition, resource and other. Just as for
inputs, "other'' is provided to allow for enhanced modelling, for
instance the representation of spatial
constraints.
examples see authority, effect and resource
term in other fields In IDEF, there are is only one output to an
activity, in contrast to the three inputs (input,
control and mechanism). Experienced IDEF modellers use the arc
labels, naming conventions and the "notes'' system in an IDEF support
kit to encode the different types of output.
