Straight lines denote adjacent transitions, whereas curved arcs indicate non-adjacent (jumped) transitions. Numbers on loop-back arcs show the sequence of repeated loops if more than 1. For example, for path variant V23, 502 (0.4% of) orders follow the nine-step sequence with two recirculations through InProgress → Reserved. This is the path of V14 shown in Table 3. For path variant V28, the orders go through recirculation InProgress → Reserved and then Reserved → Ready. After modifying transition probabilities, the most common shortcut path (Ready → Completed) becomes less frequent and is replaced by longer paths with intermediate states.
