    At the current state of technology, we can claim that Enterprise Modeling (EM) based and commercially available tools is now a reality in many large companies. Enterprise Engineering practices are developing and force enterprises to adopt systematic engineering procedures mainly based on models [9]. Enterprise modeling is currently in use either as a technique to represent and understand the structure and behavior of the enterprise, or as a technique to analyze business processes, and in many cases as support technique for business process reengineering. However, EM architectures and methods for Enterprise Engineering has also to cover the integration of quality, information system, cost , human and organizational aspects and to has to support the Enterprise Engineering process from goal and requirements definition up to implementation and operation. This paper provides an overview of architectures, methods and tools for Enterprise Engineering. It then points out substantial results achieved so far as well as presents a methodology and a related tool in more detail, which supports all phases and aspects of Enterprise Engineering .

    In today's highly competitive global economy, the demand for high quality products manufactured at low costs with shorter cycle times has forced a number of manufacturing industries to consider various new product design, manufacturing, and management strategies. Recently, due to the rapid advances in Information Technology (IT), new paradigms have successively emerged such as CIM, JIT, lean manufacturing, Concurrent Engineering, Business Process Engineering and more Enterprise Engineering (EE). Enterprise modeling is currently in use either as a technique to represent and understand the structure and behavior of the enterprise, or as a technique to analyze business processes, and in many cases as support technique for business process reengineering. However, EM architectures and methods for Enterprise Engineering has also to cover the integration of quality, information system, cost , human and organizational aspects and to has to support the Enterprise Engineering process from goal and requirements definition up to implementation and operation [9]. This paper provides an overview of architectures, methods and tools for Enterprise Engineering.

    Success is not a static figure; it has to be constantly secured anew. The adaptability to changing competitive requirements is becoming a crucial factor of performance. The company of the future needs to be oriented towards integrated and model-based planning to allow open, flexible and changeable structures and business processes. This paper introduces a model-based method and a tool to adapt the necessary strategies and measures purposefully and continuously to the changing market requirements within the framework of corporate planning.

    Quality-oriented design of business processes

    Changing markets and innovative competitors force each company to study and improve its organization, its business processes and its technologies constantly. Whoever drops behind in these times loses market shares and endangers the long-term existence of the company. It is necessary to realign the entire corporate planning and design along the value added chain to speed up the business processes. All relevant user views, such as quality, organization, information systems, costs (controlling) and affected departments, have to be incorporated and should be studied regarding their interaction. When designing and executing processes to accept and employ a quality concept the decisive aspects are determined by the kind of information and by the active integration of all affected departments, divisions and staff members. On the other hand, the staff members must have a good knowledge of important business processes. The employees of quality planning should be "process advisors", i.e., quality management should be incorporated into the business process. The quality-oriented design of business processes described in this book supports this integration. The book is based on the results of the KCIM project "Scientific Basis and Contribution to the Standardization of CIM Interfaces" that was funded by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology. On this basis, we developed the concept.
