IDEF0 Diagrams

IDEF0 Diagrams

IDEF0 is known to be an acronym for “Icam DEFinition for Function Modeling”, where “ICAM” is also an acronym meaning the “Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing”. Being a function modeling methodology for describing multiple manufacturing functions, it offers a functional modeling language for the analysis, re-engineering, integration and development of different information systems, business processes and software engineering analysis.

Being a member of the IDEF modeling languages family in such sphere of business as software engineering, IDEF0 is built on the functional modeling language – SADT (Structured Analysis and Design Technique). The so-called “IDEF0 Functional Modeling method” is known to be designed for being able to model the needed actions, activities and decisions within some organization. Being derived from the SADT, IDEF0 was originally expected to assist in organizing system analysis as well as to promote the effective communication between the customer and the analyst.

IDEF0 may be also used for modeling both automated and non-automated systems, being applied in the new systems for defining the requirements and specifying the functions. It may also allow designing an implementation that performs the functions and meets the needed requirements. For analyzing the functions, the system performs and for recording the mechanisms by which these are done, IDEF0 may be applied to any system. As a result, a model that consists of a hierarchical series of diagrams, glossary and text can be created.

To make the needed model, the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM charting and drawing software can be created. Having the IDEF0 Diagrams solution as well may lead to getting the professionally-looking drawings based on the pre-made samples and templates from solution. There is also a stencil library with the IDEF0-related design elements that can be taken from this solution in order to draw the IDEF0 diagrams.

The IDEF0 Diagrams solution can be used by many IT specialists for creating the needed IDEF0 Diagrams that can be later used for the analysis, integration, and development of information as well as numeral software systems, and for business process modeling.


There is 1 library containing 18 vector shapes in the IDEF0 Diagrams solution.

IDEF0 Diagrams Examples

There are a few samples that you see on this page which were created in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM application by using the IDEF0 Diagrams solution. Some of the solution's capabilities as well as the professional results which you can achieve are all demonstrated here on this page.

All source documents are vector graphic documents which are always available for modifying, reviewing and/or converting to many different formats, such as MS PowerPoint, PDF file, MS Visio, and many other graphic ones from the ConceptDraw Solution Park or ConceptDraw STORE. The IDEF0 Diagrams solution is available to all ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users to get installed and used while working in the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software.

Example 1: IDEF0 Diagram — Application Development

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the IDEF0 Diagrams Library from the IDEF0 Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 20 minutes creating this sample.

This IDEF0 diagram shows a detailed description of an application-development process. The steps of this process are represented by blocks which are visually arranged according to their logical levels.

Example 2: IDEF0 Diagram — Model Integration

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the IDEF0 Diagrams Library from the IDEF0 Diagrams Solution. An experienced user spent 15 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows an IDEF0 diagram representing the processes that comprise model integration. Note that each process has a unique identification number. The interactions between processes are represented by arrows which connect outputs of one process with the inputs of another.

What I Need to Get Started

Both ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software and the IDEF0 Diagrams solution can help creating the software engineering diagrams you need. The IDEF0 Diagrams solution can be found in the Software Development area of ConceptDraw STORE application that can be downloaded from this site. Make sure that both ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and ConceptDraw STORE applications are installed on your computer before you get started.

How to install

After ConceptDraw STORE and ConceptDraw DIAGRAM are downloaded and installed, you can install the IDEF0 Diagrams solution from the ConceptDraw STORE.
