- Business process, activities that produce a specific service or product for customers
- Business process modeling, activity of representing processes of an enterprise in order to deliver improvements
- Manufacturing process management, a collection of technologies and methods used to define how products are to be manufactured.
- Process architecture, structural design of processes, applies to fields such as computers, business processes, logistics, project management
- Process area, related processes within an area which together satisfies an important goal for improvements within that area
- Process costing, a cost allocation procedure of managerial accounting
- Process management (project management), a systematic series of activities directed towards planning, monitoring the performance and causing an end result in engineering activities, business process, manufacturing processes or project management
- Process-based management, is a management approach that views a business as a collection of processes
Law
- Due process, the concept that governments must respect the rule of law
