Towards an IT-Framework for Digital Enterprise Integration

Data-source interoperability service for heterogeneous information integration in ubiquitous enterprises

“…Therefore, the business environment especially for manufacturing industry is more time-sensitive. To improve the competitiveness, enterprises try to use advanced technologies to rationalize the value creation processes [14]. Digital Enterprise Technology (DET) is defined as ''the collection of systems and methods for digital modelling of the global product development and realization process, in the context of lifecycle management'' [15].…”

“…As a consequence, actual achieved performance values (AS-IS) from manufacturing execution together with the planned performance values (TO-BE) from ERP system are not used for enhancing the performance of manufacturing activities and identifying new knowledge for control of enterprise processes (i.e., business and engineering processes). Grauer et al (2009) have articulated an IT-framework for vertical integration of different enterprise control levels. This IT-framework comprises a methodology for monitoring and control of enterprise processes in real-time using Workflow Management Systems (WMS) coupled with Rule-Based System (RBS).…”

“…Further, offline Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) can be utilized to identify new knowledge from integrated data. In the current contribution the KDD process in manufacturing enterprises is been presented and real-time control of enterprise processes based on the IT-framework articulated by Grauer et al (2009) is been elaborated. Knowledge is crucial for an enterprise to remain innovative and competitive.…”

“…These stored values are periodically utilized in an offline KDD process to identify tacit knowledge and externalize it as rules to be managed in RBS. Based on the aforementioned IT-framework by Grauer et al (2009), real-time control of enterprise processes is elaborated in the current contribution and divided into three layers: control execution layer, control configuration layer and graphical user interface (GUI). In control execution layer, traceable objects are created from AS-IS and TO-BE values to be evaluated in RBS.…”

Enterprise Resource Planning und Transformation von ERP-Systemen: An Approach for Real-Time Control of Enterprise Processes in Manufacturing using a Rule-Based System

“…Based on an IT-framework for digital enterprise integration (Grauer et al 2009), in the current contribution a methodology is elaborated to identify and externalize knowledge from processes, and subsequently, use it for real-time control of processes. The current paper is organized as follows.…”
