A Framework for Design A Virtual Manufacturing Enterprise and Its Implementation as a Workbench |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
This paper presents the design of a typical virtual enterprise (VRIDGE Inc.), as well as an integrated software environment for supporting the design, implementation and operation of the virtual enterprise (VRIDGE Workbench). The Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (PERA) methodology has been applied in combination with enterprise modelling tools, and extended with the STEP methodology. This has led to the specification of information requirements of the Vridge Inc. for developing the Vridge Workbench.We have identified three inter-related lifecycles in the design of a virtual enterprise. Several modelling tools have been evaluated and utilized. Subsequently, a reference architecture consisting of the Coordinator, the Collaborator, and the Communicator has been proposed for implementing the VRIDGE Workbench, with an aim to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of companies working in the global business environment of the 21* century. |
