English Language & Usage Asked by Igor Romanov on October 2, 2021
In BPM (business process management) “process” means a definition of process, a model and a specific process (created using that definition) is called “process instance”.
Eg. “Sending Invoice to Customer” is a process, “Sending Feb 2017 invoice to ACME Inc.” is a process instance.
What could be better and simpler terms, so that people non experienced with BPM can quickly understand that one is basically “used as a template” to create another?
Procedure: (dictionary.com)
1. an act or a manner of proceeding in any action or process; conduct.
2.a particular course or mode of action.
A fixed, step-by-step sequence of activities or course of action (with definite start and end points) that must be followed in the same order to correctly perform a task. Repetitive procedures are called routines.

In layman's terms, an instance of a process could be called an action (at least in the given example).

Instead of "process instance," you could say
a particular process
special or single, or this and not any other: Is there a particular restaurant you’d like to eat at?

Process execution?
When a process is started, a process execution is created that runs a defined set of actions.
It's not much more self explanatory than "process instance", but it makes more sense with context, e.g. "a process is being executed".
