The following examples illustrate the variety of workflows seen in various contexts:

# In machine shops, particularly [[job shop]]s and flow shops, the flow of a part through the various processing stations is a workflow.
# Insurance claims processing is an example of an information-intensive, document-driven workflow.<ref name="HaveyEssential05">{{cite book |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KtabAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA255 |chapter=Chapter 10: Example: Human Workflow in Insurance Claims Processing |title=Essential Business Process Modeling |author=Havey, M. |publisher=O'Reilly Media, Inc |year=2005 |pages=255–284 |isbn=9780596008437 |access-date=18 January 2018}}</ref>
# Wikipedia editing can be modeled as a stochastic workflow.
# The [[Getting Things Done]] system is a model of personal workflow management for information workers.
# In software development, support and other industries, the concept of ''[[follow-the-sun]]'' describes a process of passing unfinished work across time zones.<ref>[http://ftp.hp.com/pub/services/hardware/info/hw_globalsupportctr_59829873EN.pdf Follow-the-sun process]</ref>
# In traditional offset and digital printing, the concept of workflow represents the process, people, and usually software technology (RIPs raster image processors or DFE digital front end) controllers that play a part in pre/post processing of print-related files, e.g., PDF pre-flight checking to make certain that fonts are embedded or that the imaging output to plate or digital press will be able to render the document intent properly for the image-output capabilities of the press that will print the final image.
# In scientific experiments, the overall process (tasks and data flow) can be described as a [[directed acyclic graph]] (DAG). This DAG is referred to as a workflow, e.g., Brain Imaging workflows.<ref>Brain Image Registration Analysis Workflow for fMRI Studies on Global Grids, [http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/AINA.2009.13 Computer.org]</ref><ref>A grid workflow environment for brain imaging analysis on distributed systems, [http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/cpe.1461 Wiley.com]</ref>
# In healthcare data analysis, a workflow can be identified or used to represent a sequence of steps which compose a complex data analysis.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bjørner |first1=Thomas |last2=Schrøder |first2=Morten |title=Advantages and challenges of using mobile ethnography in a hospital case study: WhatsApp as a method to identify perceptions and practices |journal=Qualitative Research in Medicine and Healthcare |date=23 August 2019 |volume=3 |issue=2 |doi=10.4081/qrmh.2019.7795|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name=hf2010>{{Cite journal | last1 = Huser | first1 = V. | last2 = Rasmussen | first2 = L.

# In [[service-oriented architecture]]s, an application can be represented through an executable workflow, where different, possibly geographically distributed, service components interact to provide the corresponding functionality under the control of a workflow management system.<ref>Service-Oriented Architecture and Business Process Choreography in an Order Management Scenario: Rationale, Concepts, Lessons Learned, [http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1094855.1094965 ACM.org]</ref>
# In [[shared services]], an application can be in the practice of developing robotic process automation (called RPA or RPAAI for self-guided RPA 2.0 based on artificial intelligence) which results in the deployment of attended or unattended software agents to an organization's environment. These software agents, or robots, are deployed to perform pre-defined structured and repetitive sets of business tasks or processes. Artificial intelligence software robots are deployed to handle [[unstructured data]] sets and are deployed after performing and deploying robotic process automation.
