Prosessimalleissa

Prosessimalleissa is a Finnish term that functions as the inessive plural form of prosessimalli, meaning process models. In Finnish, prosessimalli refers to a formal representation of a business, technical, or organizational process, typically describing the sequence of activities, decision points, inputs, outputs, and actors involved. The plural form prosessimallit means multiple process models, and adding the inessive plural suffix -issa yields prosessimalleissa, meaning “in the process models.”

The use of prosessimalleissa appears mainly in Finnish-language texts dealing with process modeling, business process management, and related fields. It is a grammatical construction rather than a distinct methodological concept. When used in sentences, it locates discussion or analysis within multiple process models, for example when comparing the behavior of activities or data flows across several models.

In practice, process modeling commonly employs notations such as BPMN, UML activity diagrams, or flowcharts. Prosessimalleissa as a phrase helps writers refer to features that are shared across or examined within several models, such as task sequences, gateways, or data exchanges. It reflects how Finnish researchers and practitioners discuss model analysis at a collective level rather than within a single diagram.
