Architectures for integrating manufacturing activities and enterprises

Web Technologies and Multi-criterion Analysis used in Enterprise Integration

“…Thus, in order to select the best modeling language recommended for the EMLs (Enterprise Modeling Languages) block of the GERAM architecture, we have analyzed, based on the literature [4], [11], [12], [14] etc, the following modeling languages GRAI/GIM, Petri networks, OOA/OMT, CIMOSA, IDEF0, IDEF1X, IDEF3, IEM, ARIS, EXPRESS and UML which form the alternative set A={A1, A2, , A11 }.…”

Process classes deployed in manufacturing enterprises

“…To facilitate this modelling various enterprise modelling techniques, where founding approaches included CIMOSA (CIMOSA 1993), IDEF (IDEF User Group 1992), GRAI/GIM (Doumeingts 1990), ARIS (Scheer 1998), and PERA (Williams et al 1994). Because any ME is essentially a very complex system, that needs to interoperate with other complex systems (i.e.…”

Value System Redesign: System oriented management and enterprise integration in globally distributed manufacturing networks

“…In the first Workshop on DIISM in Tokyo 1993, "a possible road map for promotion of the field of enterprise integration" (Williams 1993) has been defined. The paper will propose a way to augment ,,knowledge and appreciation of integrated systems" not for "potential users everywhere" but for the purpose of the integration of globally distributed manufacturing sites.…”
