This process model is commonly used in modeling manufacturing functions. For example, processes (such as tasks) consume Inputs and transform them into Outputs. The process may only occur within the limits of Controls (e.g. cost items) and may require Mechanisms (ISO9000 calls them Mechanisms, whereas IFC calls them resources, such as raw materials, labour, or equipment). +----------+ | Controls | +----------+ | V +--------+ +---------+ +---------+ | Inputs | --> | Process | --> | Outputs | +--------+ +---------+ +---------+ ^ | +-----------+ | Resources | +-----------+ There are three main scenarios where an object may be related to a task: defining inputs, controls, and resources of a process. For inputs, a product (i.e. wall) may be defined as an input to a task, such as when the task is to demolish the wall (i.e. the wall is an input, and there is no output). For controls, a cost item may be defined as a control to a task. For resources, any construction resource may be assigned to a task. :param relating_process: The IfcProcess (typically IfcTask) that the input, control, or resource is related to. :type relating_process: ifcopenshell.entity_instance :param related_object: The IfcProduct (for input), IfcCostItem (for control) or IfcConstructionResource (for resource). :type related_object: ifcopenshell.entity_instance :return: The newly created IfcRelAssignsToProcess relationship :rtype: ifcopenshell.entity_instance Example: .. code:: python # Let's imagine we are creating a construction schedule.
