Quality in its contemporary incarnation is commonly referred to as organizational excellence, enterprise excellence, business excellence, or performance excellence. While technology may serve as a key enabler of enterprise excellence, enterprise excellence itself is in large enabled by the human dimension both in terms of ideation and effort. The human dimension manifests in many ways, with peo...

We present a framework for enterprise engineering that encompasses the formalization of knowledge in an enterprise, its integration into a software tool, and the visualization of the enterprise.

This paper presents a framework suitable for the de nition of a Generic Enterprise Ref erence Architecture and Methodology to readers interested in architectures and method ology development The Generic Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology is about those meth ods models and tools which are needed to build the integrated enterprise The architecture is generic because it applies to m...

Much existing research on IS and enterprise architecture focuses on suggesting different representations describing a ‘target architecture’ for processes, information and information systems at different levels across the organization. Less emphasis has been put on the actual evolution of the current enterprise architecture towards this envisioned ‘target architecture’. In this paper we look at...

Integrating and managing complex enterprises requires understanding, partitioning and simplification of the complexity. Enterprise modelling supports these requirements by providing means for describing process oriented systems and decomposing them intla manageable parts. However, enterprise modelling requires both a common modelling language and a methodology. The language provides common unde...

The Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) introduces the notion of an enterprise viewpoint and provides a minimum set of concepts for structuring enterprise language specifications. This paper extends the RM-ODP enterprise concepts by exploring how policy can be modelled within and between communities. A model for enterprise behaviour based on physical and social actions is pr...

The term enterprise modeling, synonymous with enterprise engineering, often refers to methodologies, developed for modeling activities, states, time, and cost within an enterprise architecture. They serve as a vehicle for evaluating and modeling activities resources and so on. CIM OSA (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Open Systems Architecture) is a methodology for modeling computer integrated...

Efforts to improve enterprise performance depend to a large extent on models of enterprise processes created for analysis and design. This paper describes a modeling scheme which supports the development of a multi-view model of an enterprise and its processes. The paper first presents an overview of the efforts such as business process reengineering, enterprise integration, and enterprise engi...

Mit ca. 88 % Verbreitung haben sich Enterprise Wikis zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil der Corporate Intranets entwickelt. Aufgrund ihrer Nutzungsoffenheit und hohen Flexibilität lassen sich Enterprise Wikis für vielfältigste Einsatzzwecke verwenden. Dabei ist die Nutzungsmotivation ein kritischer Stellhebel für den Erfolg von Enterprise Wikis. In diesem Beitrag wird auf Basis des aus der Arbeitsp...

This paper introduces a framework that supports users to implement enterprise modelling within collaborative companies. These enterprise models are the basis for a holistic interoperability measurement and management methodology which will be presented in the second part of the paper. The discipline of enterprise modelling aims at capturing all dimensions of an enterprise in a simplified model....
