The integration requirements for shopfloor-oriented planning and control systems are determined by increasing productivity and quality demands. Cooperation of application systems, consisteny of the information model and continuity of communication through all management and control levels are the aim of the pilot development of the integrating infrastructure according to Cimosa. Starting from models of business processes of a selected industrial application this article explicates the required service architecture for their computer integrated execution.

A characterization of the SME Manufacturing Companies' Iproblems related to today's information technology when introducing CIM-concepts leads to the role of CIM-OSA framework and the VOICE approach for its validation. Motivation and requirements of Traub pilot site are detailed covering the domains of order planning and tool management. The modelling approach is given by the first step, the Domain Establishment. From domain descriptions, requirements are derived, relevant to Traub's target Production Managment System. They form the basis for testbed configuration and Integrating Infrastructure specification at IPK laboratory from which first conclusions are drawn. First experiences with the CIM-OSA modelling framework applied to the Elval Casting Plant are sketched. By describing the applied Model Creation Process, some problems encountered in the Function View at Requirements and Design Level are addressed. Concluding, the envisaged ways of result exploitation are given.
