Abstract: Decision making organizations are modeled as asynchronous concurrent systems, using Timed Petri Nets. The modeling allows for evaluating the time-related performances, with respect to the following measures: The maximum throughput rate, defined as the maximum processing rate achievable by the system, and the execution schedule, which determines the earliest instants at which the different operations can occur in the process.
