Within wide fields of software development and in the production control pe
trinets became the standard device for modelling and simulation of distribu
ted, parallel processes. In the quality management however petrinets were n
ot used so far, although they can serve both for the modelling and simulati
on of real processes and as a basis of a test and a documentation system, a
s it is to be demonstrated in this essay.
In the context of this essay a petrinet model is presented, which forms the
basis for an economic inspection planning, a risk analysis and a process a
nd product documentation. This model is continued to transfer in a software
prototype for simulation.
