The framework consists of an ESE definition, an ESE classification scheme, and an ESE process. This study views an enterprise as a system that creates value for its customers. Thus, developing the framework made use of system theory and IDEF methodologies. This study defined ESE as an engineering discipline that develops and applies systems theory and engineering techniques to specification, analysis, design, and implementation of an enterprise for its life cycle. The proposed ESE classification scheme breaks down an enterprise system into four elements. They are work, resources, decision, and information. Each enterprise element is specified with four system facets: strategy, competency, capacity, and structure. Each element-facet combination is subject to the engineering process of specification, analysis, design, and implementation, to achieve its pre-specified performance with respect to cost, time, quality, and benefit to the enterprise. vi This framework is intended for identifying research voids in the ESE discipline. It also helps to apply engineering and systems tools to this emerging field. It harnesses the relationships among various enterprise aspects and bridges the gap between engineering and management practices in an enterprise. The proposed ESE process is generic. It consists of a hierarchy of engineering activities presented in an IDEF0 model. Each activity is defined with its input, output, constraints, and mechanisms. The output of an ESE effort can be a partial or whole enterprise system design for its physical, managerial, and/or informational layers. The proposed ESE process is applicable to a new enterprise system design or an engineering change in an existing system. The long-term goal of this study aims at development of a scientific foundation for ESE research and development. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I.

A variety of software tools has ap­ peared in the market, processing power has dramatically increased, model­ ling architectures have evolved and even matured. Despite such advances however, widespread use of models, as a strategic decision support tool en­ compassing large industrial sectors, remains unattainable. The working group analysed the current situation, identified major problems and issues as causes and suggested a roadmap for the next steps in Enterprise Modelling. The following Quad-Chart (Table 1) summarises the work of the group that addressed those requirements. It identifies the approach taken to resolve the issues and proposes a project and ideas for future work for testing and enhancing the proposed solutions.

  • Enterprise Architecture and Systems Engineering
    Enterprise Architecture and Systems Engineering Peter Webb BMT Defence Services Limited, United Kingdam, [email protected] Abstract: Factors such as the end of the cold war and increasing globalisation in tenns of competition and social responsibility have significantly increased the complex­ ity of events addressed both by governments and by industry. Furthennore, their responses are increasingly more constrained by economic and environ­ mental issues. It is clear that the large complex "socio-techno-economic" sys­ tems (i.e. enterprises) that may comprise as well as create and deliver these re­ sponses must be both agile and efficient. An approach to the analysis, design and specification of such enterprises is presented which draws on state of the art Enterprise Architecture concepts and Systems Engineering techniques. The resulting EA/SE method enables clear justification of design, definition of in­ terfaces and derivation of validated requirements. Comparisons are drawn to Zachman and ISO 15704 - GERA concepts. 1 INTRODUCTION This paper describes how enterprise architecture concepts and systems engineering techniques have been combined to provide a new approach to the analysis, design and specification of enterprises. It has been named the Enterprise Architecture I Systems Engineering (EA/SE) method. Enterprise architecture provides a rich but generic framework that guides the construction of enterprise models. Furthermore, it enables stakeholder needs and expectations to be identified and traced to technological design while facilitating integration efforts. Systems engineering provides the tools and techniques to create "well engineered" enterprise architectures. In particular, it uses modelling as a means for analysis, improvement and validation of proposed solutions. Sys- The original version of this chapter was revised: The copyright line was incorrect.

  • Integration of Product, Process and Functional Orientations: Principles and a Case Study
    Integration of product, process and functional orientations: principles and a case study Ruth Sara Saven and Jan Olhager LinkiJping Institute of Technology, Department of Production Economics, SE- 581 83 LinkiJping, SWEDEN Email: [email protected]. [email protected] Abstract Companies are traditionally divided in specialised areas in a hierarchical organisation, usually referred to as functions. On the other hand, during the last decade companies have realised the importance of their processes. When they change towards a "process orientation" they must overcome some organisational problems to integrate the new process orientation into the already existing functional organisation. Besides, more and more importance is given to the specific characteristics of products, leading to product-driven manufacturing e.g. focussing on the product life cycles. Thus, one may find companies dealing with three different ways of working at the same time: product orientation, function orientation and process orientation. This paper addresses how product, process and functional orientations can be integrated, with the purpose of improving collaborative production management. In supply chains and networks it is of vital importance that concepts and terminology are shared among the collaborative partners. Even though this paper focuses on these issues for internal operations, the results can easily be transferred to multi-plant collaborative production environments. The proposed framework aims at providing a bridge between the Enterprise Integration and Operation Management fields. We identify important issues and factors to be considered, as well as point to approaches for analysing production systems based on an integrative view. Specifically we discuss the application of "model views" in analysing product, process and functional orientations in an empirical study of a large telecommunications company.

Williams ~ t: IFAC t> It') lLiJ CHAPMAN & HALL 0 ~a1, Architectures for Enterprise Integ ration Pe t er Bern u s, Laszlo Nemes and Theodore J. Will iams The 1990s have seen many large-scale efforts to transform companies into more agile and efficient global enterprises. An important lesson from the efforts in computer-integrated manufacturing and other businesses has been that enterprises-like any other system - need to be properly designed and that methods to do this should become widely available and publicised. Architectures for Enterprise Integration describes the latest methods to guide enterprises and consultants, managers and technical personnel through a complete life-cycle of enterprise development. This book is based on the findings of the IFIP/IFAC Task Force and presents a state-of-the-art review of enterprise architecture, including: • analysis and comparison of the three major architectural frameworks and methodologies; • identification of the strengths and weaknesses of each methodology to enable users to select the approach which best suits their needs; • a road map for the development of more complete methodologies by using existing ones. This book is essential reading for all practising engineers and researchers in manufacturing and engineering management and will be of special interest to those involved in CIM and enterprise modelling and integration. p .

  • Towards a Workflow-Based Integration Architecture for Business Networking
    Preprint version of an article published as: Business Process Management Journal, Year: 2005, Volume: 11, Issue: 5, Page: 517-531, ISSN: 1463-7154, DOI: 10.1108/14637150510619867 © Emerald Group Publishing Limited http://www.emeraldinsight.com/bpmj.htm Towards a workflow-based integration architecture for business networking Diogo M. R. Ferreira INESC Porto, Portugal J. J. Pinto Ferreira Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Portugal Keywords BPM, enterprise integration architectures, workflow technology, e-business Abstract The Internet is the underlying network infrastructure that will allow enterprises to create new business structures and to reconfigure existing ones. This trend, which is known as business networking, requires enterprises to be able to integrate and coordinate business processes that extend across autonomous business partners. Traditionally, the problem of integration has been addressed by the field of Enterprise Integration, which underlines the importance of Workflow Management as a tool for business process integration. In the context of business networking, most of the principles of Enterprise Integration and Workflow Management are still useful but, definitely, a new kind of architecture is required. This paper proposes a decentralized inter-enterprise workflow solution, paving the way towards an integration architecture that will allow enterprises to automate their business relationships and to develop arbitrary business networks. 1. Introduction The Internet fosters new business possibilities that will make enterprises reengineer their systems and reorganize themselves. As a globally connected and widely accessible network infrastructure, the Internet provides unprecedented access to potential business partners. In an increasingly connected world, it becomes easier to find business partners that can perform some of the work better, faster and cheaper.

  • A Modelling Language for User Oriented Enterprise Modelling
    3e Conférence Francophone de Modélisation et SIMulation "Conception, Analyse et Gestion des Systèmes Industriels" MOSIM'01 - du 25 au 27 avril 2001 - Troyes(France) A MODELLING LANGUAGE FOR USER ORIENTED ENTERPRISE MODELLING Martin ZELM Kurt KOSANKE CIMOSA Association e.V. CIMOSA Association e.V. Gehenbühlstr. 18 A, D-70499 Stuttgart Stockholmer Str. 7, D-71034 Böblingen Mél . [email protected] Mél . [email protected] Abstract: Enterprise modelling provides the means to structure and decompose the enterprise system into less complex parts and to describe functionality and behaviour of the operation or any part thereof. The relevant enterprise knowl- edge can be captured, shared and managed through process models. Process models describe both the functionality and the flow of control in the enterprise and identify all the needed and produced information. However, the user should employ a modelling language consisting of modelling constructs relevant for the representa- tion of his business. Constructs, which provide means for easy information capturing and are represented by easy to understand graphical symbols or icons. Both, common modelling construct types and their representation by icons will make the modelling process more effective and efficient and also improve the human understanding of enterprise mod- els. The latter is especially important for the upcoming e-business to business and virtual enterprise type operations. Only with increased efforts in harmonisation and standardisation, will the envisaged improvements be realised. Starting from the CIMOSA reference architecture the paper proposes structuring of user oriented modelling construct types and type hierarchies and presents an overview of construct icon types for graphical representation used in differ- ent modelling tools.

ENTERPRISE MODELLING: FROM EARLY LANGUAGES TO MODELS TRANSFORMATION Bruno Vallespir, Yves Ducq Univ. Bordeaux, CNRS, IMS, UMR 5218, 33405 Talence, France [email protected], [email protected] Abstract During the last thirty years, enterprise modelling has been recognised as an efficient tool to externalise the knowledge of companies in order to understand their operations, to analyse their running and to design new systems from several points of view: functions, processes, decisions, resources, information technology. This paper aims at describing the long evolution of enterprise modelling techniques as well as one of the future challenges of these techniques: the transformation of enterprise models. So, in a first part, the paper describes the evolution of enterprise modelling techniques from the divergence era to the convergence period.

Abstract: In this paper, we describe how traditional systems engineering processes, such as those delineated in the ANSI//EIA 632 standard, are becoming inadequate for today’s complex systems, in which there is a rich set of interconnections and interrelationships between all of the systems in an enterprise. We further suggest that a new discipline (or an extension of the old discipline) is developing in response, called Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE). We next explain some salient characteristics of complex adaptive systems and motivate how these properties, such as variation, interaction, and selection can be used to shape the evolution of the enterprise. We outline five important new processes: Technology Planning, Capability-Based Engineering Analysis, Enterprise Architecture, Strategic Technical Planning, and Enterprise Analysis and Assessment that can be used to exercise a degree of control beyond that which can be afforded by traditional means. Key words: Enterprise Systems Engineering, Evolution, Variety, Selection, Process, Enterprise Architecture, Capabilities ICSSEA 2006 Swarz & Derosa 1. INTRODUCTION In 1999, the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) published their Processes for Engineering a System. This has become an American National Standard (ANSI/EIA 632), and is consistent with the approach being taken by the International Standards Organization’s standard ISO 15288. In addition, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 1220 represents an application of EIA 632 to the electronics and electrical industry.
