The OV-5 view consists of these two diagrams:

  1. Operational Activity Model. This diagram represents Operational Activity hierarchies.
  2. Operational Activity Flow Model. This diagram represents Operational Activity flows.

The Operational Activity Model diagram must be created first.


To create an OV-5 diagram for Operational Activity hierarchies

  1. Create Operational Activities.
  2. Create or Reuse from OV-2 (recommended) Operational Performers.
  3. Draw Is Capable to Perform relationship between them and Operational Activities.
  4. Draw Compositions (whole-part relationships) between Operational Activities if necessary.
