“…The PDN model and the Conceptual Design phase of M* and M*-OBJECT have already been published in detail (Berio et al, 1995(Berio et al, , 1996. So, they are not discussed in length in this paper but are briefly addressed in Section 4.…”

Concurrent engineering and integrated manufacturing environments rely on the management of concurrent business processes supported by integrated information systems These business processes and the underlying information systems must be engineered in a systematic way to guarantee compliance with business requirements and overall system consistency and efficiencyIn this paper, the organisation model of the M*-OBJECT methodology is presented as a tool to model business processes and specify design requirements on the information system It covers functional, behavioural, information, and organisation aspects It includes a workflow model, an object flow model, and an interaction model Then it is shown how conceptual design models can be derived from organisation models M*-OBJECT strongly enforces an event-driven process-based approach at all levels as opposed to traditional function-based approaches for analysing and designing computer-supported integrated engineering environments

In this paper we present the main phases of the BP-M* methodology and its application to a care pathway for patients in the Oncology Division of a large hospital, to evaluate pros and cons of different drug administration modalities and the impact of these modalities to the organizational process. BP-M* has been developed for the manufacturing sector but the relevance of business modeling, analysis and reorganization is not restricted to a specific sector. The aim of this work is to show its application to a real life study of a complex process in the health sector.

“…OOM has been widely applied in manufacturing system modeling and analysis, examples include the object oriented FMS model (Adiga and Gadre, 1990), the unified modeling framework called Information Processing Object Hierarchy (IPOH) (Sun and Lin, 1992;Changchien et al, 1994), and the M*-OBJECT methodology in manufacturing information system development (Berio et al, 1995). We will draw upon OOM concepts and use Petri Nets to model and validate our knowledge based information controllers.…”

In the new and emerging Agile Manufacturing paradigm, where multiple firms cooperate under flexible virtual enterprise structures, there exists much need for a mechanism to manage and control information flow among collaborating partners. In response to this pressing need, this paper addresses the design and implementation of an agile manufacturing information system integrating manufacturing databases dispersed at various partner sites. We propose a framework in which: (1) Information is modeled in a hierarchical fashion using Object Oriented Methodology (OOM). (2) Information transactions are specified by the workflow hierarchy consisting of partner workflows. (3) Information flow between partners is controlled by a set of distributed Workflow Managers (WM) interacting with partner knowledge bases, which reflect partner specific information control rules on internal data exchange, as well as inter-partner mutual protocols for joint partner communications. (4) The prototype system is accomplished using the world wide web based on a Client-Server architecture. The overall approach and system provides within a dynamic environment, where virtual partnerships are synthesized in response to specific business initiatives, a dynamic and flexible mechanism to support partner information exchange and to keep the dispersed information consistent.
