    Supporting software service for model based implementation of manufacturing control system
    ( 2010)
    Zhang, X.
    Motivation In manufacturing industry business processes management and control systems play an important role. Therefore, the application of the modelling of the related enterprise process to achieve a better design and management increases. Especially if new software needs to be implemented such as manufacturing execution systems (MES) enterprise models are a tool to provide a backbone for a successful implementation. A challenge is the effort needed for the modelling as well as to document the results of the process analysis. Usually documents such as functional requirement books in Word, process based test protocols in Excel are requested. Also the modelling requires further effort if it is in graphical way. The task is to find services which support a faster development of the model a nd the related documents. Goal Identify services supporting the modelling and documentation process for the implementation of manufacturing control system and realise the services in an easy to use way by creating a table based modelling feature for the enterprise modelling in IEM on the example of an MES.

    An application oriented rule system for enterprise model constancy and quality checking
    ( 2010)
    Hao, L.
    The analysis, design and implementation of enterprise processes are supported by enterprise modelling techniques. The model is use to understand the processes as well as the related organisation. Since several years it became common also to derive applications from an enterprise model. An example of such an application is the process assistant developed at IPK. It implements management systems such as ISO 9000 in the intranet of a company on the basis of an enterprise model in IEM/MO²GO. This requires good consistency and correctness of the model. This is not only a consistency related to a correct application of the modelling methodology which is usually checked during the modelling process. It is also the check regarding the specific application such as for ISO9000 what each process should have a clear organisational responsibility. These roles related to a specific application needs to be formulated and checked against an enterprise model before the application generation takes place. Currently these checks have to be done manually in IEM (Integrated Enterprise Modelling). Therefore a tool is required to model and check application related rules. Goal Identify an adequate mechanism for rule definition and checking for an IEM model in MO²GO NG. Implement the mechanism and prove it on real examples such as the ISO9000 implementation.

    Frequent plant lay-out and process automation changes is becoming more and more critical for production efficiency and reliability in companies with self developed or induced product design changes. The paper presents VIRSIM (VIrtual reality and SIMulation), a methodology supporting the complete reengineering process based on GIM (GRAI Integrated Methodology) and IEM (Integrated Enterprise Modeling), and the associated software tool consisting of five subsystems, some of them commercial available low cost software packages. Potential interested industries are automotive components-makers and those with large production engineering departments in general.

    Enterprise modelling - base for information system planning.

    Jochem, R.
    Today the modelling of an enterpise is enabled by various methods which are used for different purposes and views upon the enterprise. Using an object-oriented approach the Integrated Enterprise Modelling (IEM) concept will integrate different moddelling views in one consistent manufacturing enterprise model and will provide a modelling base for construction of an enterprise model from a user's point of view. Therefore the basic constructs like object class structure and a related process decription method via generic activity model will be presented. The kernel and the main views of a manufacturing enterprise model will be derived. The outline of a supporting computer aided tool will be presented.

    This paper discusses the planning process of CIM Systems and the support of this planning process by modelling. Today the modelling of an enterprise is enabled by various methods which are used for different purposes and views upon the enterprise. Using an object-oriented approach the Integratedt Enterprise Modelling (IEM) concept will integrate different modelling views in one consistent manufacturing enterprise model and will provide a modelling base for construction of an enterprise model from a user's point of view. It will lead the user form a general CIM architecture given by predefined model structures to a particular model and architecture of the system support in his own manufacturing enterprise, which are the essential tasks towards a enterprise wide and integrative usage of information technology. Therefore the basic constructs like object class structure and a related process decription method via generic activity model will be presented. The kernel and the main views of a manufacturing enterprise model will be derived. An example using the IEM concept for the specific view of CIM planning and introduction will clarify the main features of the concept.

    Today the modelling of an enterprise is enabled by various methods which are used for different purposes and views upon the enterprise. Using an object-oriented approach the Inegrated Enterprise Modelling (IEM) concept will integrate different modelling views in one consistent manufacturing enterprise model and will provide a modelling base for construction of an enterprise model from a user's point of view. It will lead the user from a general CIM architecture given by predefined model structures to a particular model and arcitecture of the system support in his own manufacturing enterprise, which are the essential tasks towards a enterprise wide and integrative usage of information technology. Therefore the basic constructs like object class structure and a related process decription method via generic activity model will be presented. The kernel and the main views of a manufacturing enterprise model will be derived. An example using hte IEM concept for the specific view of CIM plann ing and introduction will clarify the main features of the concept. A comparison with CIM-OSA-Project will be done.
