A method and a device for simulating process flows in the graphics industry and for displaying the result calculated in the simulated process flows. The method is characterized by the following steps: inputting and/or selecting at least one order data set inputting and/or selecting at least one process data set calculating links between order data set and process data set as a function of the order data set and the process data set creating a process flow from the calculated links calculating the result and/or intermediate results for a process flow using the underlying order data set outputting the result and/or intermediate results.
