Integration of FMS performance evaluation models using patterns for an information system design

Petri net based decision system modeling in real-time scheduling and control of flexible automotive manufacturing systems

“…In this study, a stochastic model is developed to analyze performance measures of a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) under different operational conditions, including machine failures and repairs. Bigand, Korbaa, and Bourey (2004) present a work to create an information system able to integrate different viewpoints concerning the design and the control of a FMS. The proposed approach tackles the problem from the information system point of view.…”

Business-It Alignment and Organisation Agility Enabled by BPM and Soa Approaches Interplay

“…Information technologies have traditionally been seen as mere cost centre for doing business (Korhonen et al, 2010). However, with the wide use of IT (Information Technology) infrastructures at the operational levels , the focus has been shifted to more strategic use of IT (Bigand et al, 2004).…”

A standard-based business repository for on-demand manufacturing execution systems

“…We define a meta-model consistent with the proposed modelling framework. The role of this meta-model is to provide rigorous model building (Bigand et al 2004), and thus to ensure a coherent reading of the various models, business processes and business objects of the business repository, by all project participants. Regarding the lifecycle phase dimension of the ISO 19439 standard, we focus on the "concept definition" and "requirement" phases.…”
