“…data processing functional operations or queries on data, can be speci® ed using IDEF0*. Like the M* Process Description Model (Vernadat et al 1989), the IDEF0* model is a formal model which can be used to specify data manipulation operations to be executed on data, either by application programs or directly by users in the form of data transactions. Implementation description involves both logical database design and physical database design.…”

To completely describe a manufacturing system, several models are usually created, each from a di erent viewpoint. Traditionally, these models were created independently using di erent methodologies and in di erent environments. This approach poses many problems, for example, time-consumption, incompatibility between models, di culties in model maintenance, di culties in ensuring a seamless transition in the system development life cycle, etc. To overcome these problems, a comprehensive modelling methodology and its supporting software tool have been developed at Gintic. The methodology, termed IDEF*, is CIMOSAcompliant, IDEF0-based, and integrated. The purpose of this paper is to introduce to the readers these features of the methodology, and the structure and components of the software tool.

European research projects about CIM like CIM-OSA advise for the information system analysis the use of the entity-relationship formalism, and for the communication implementation, the MMS standard. At the logical level of this analysis which describes the data organisation we take into account both database and communication aspects. The logical analysis must generate the database structures and the MMS configuration of all devices, which corresponds to physical step. According to the CIM-OSA concept, we developed a process which allows to generate the VMD of each equipment by the information system study. We finally present its application for the communication system design of an underground station.

To completely describe a manufacturing system, several models are usually created, each from a different viewpoint Traditionally, these models are created independently using different methodologies and in different environments. This approach poses many problems, for example, time-consuming, inconsistency between models. difficulties in model maintenance, difficulties in ensuring a seamless transition in the system development life cycle, etc .. To overcome t11ese problems, a comprehensive methodology tenned IDEF* has been developed for the modelling of enterprise systems. The purpose of this paper is to introduce to the readers the features and concepts of t11e met11odology.
