Draw a BPMN process for making tea with gateways and optimize it.

Answer from AI
The tea brewing process in BPMN can be represented as follows:
- Start
- Fill the kettle with water
- Turn on the kettle
- Wait for the water to boil (gateway: has the water boiled?)
- If no, wait
- If yes, proceed to the next step
- Put the tea bag into the cup
- Pour boiling water into the cup
- Steep the tea (gateway: is it steeped enough?)
- If no, wait
- If yes, proceed to the next step
- Add sugar/milk if desired (gateway: add?)
- If yes, add
- If no, skip
- Stir the tea
- End
Optimization:
- Combine "Put the tea bag" and "Pour boiling water" steps if it does not affect quality.
- Eliminate unnecessary waiting, for example, if the kettle has an auto-shutdown feature, manual boiling check can be skipped.
- Use parallel gateways if the cup and kettle can be prepared simultaneously.
Example of an optimized process:
Start -> Fill the kettle with water and put the tea bag into the cup (parallel) -> Turn on the kettle -> Wait for boiling -> Pour boiling water -> Steep -> Add sugar/milk if needed -> Stir -> End
