Paper Title:

FRAMEWORK FOR ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

 

Abstract:

 Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) is an emerging research field. ESE views an enterprise as a system with a life cycle and as a deliverable at the end of an ESE process. It involves modeling, analysis, design, implementation, operations, control, and re-engineering activities.  It not only has a focus on intra-enterprise business processes but also inter-enterprise operations.  This paper proposes a framework that defines the scope of ESE and provides a classification scheme using a 4x4 matrix.  With this scheme, the paper reviews and classifies related research efforts on this subject and points out voids and needs for future research and development. The framework breaks down an enterprise into four views of work, resources, information, and decision.  Each view consists of four system facets; they are strategy, structure, flow, and requirements.  Depending on the life cycle of an enterprise, each facet is subject to the engineering phases of modeling, design, planning,and control, to achieve a set of pre-specified performance criteria relating to cost, time, quality, and benefit. The framework is intended to integrate enterprise engineering with business and operation strategies by placing a focus on defining the interaction between these two in the enterprise life-cycle process.
