Enterprise Methodologies

The following is a listing of Enterprise Design Methodologies.

The project phase (or phases) for application of each methodology is indicated on a small PERA "wind-chime" in the upper right-hand corner. Also indicated is which enterprise conponent it best relates to (i.e. Facilities, People, or Control and Info Systems).

• ARIS - ARchitecture of Integrated Information Systems
  Aris has become a defacto standard for Work Flow definition in Business software development.

• CAPM - Computer Aided Production Management (University of Nottingham)

• CARNOT - Part of Enterprise Integration Program at MCC

• CPDEP - Chevron Project Development and Execution Process
  This methodology has strong phasing with a "stage-gate" specification/approval process between the facility owner (Chevron) and the EPC (Engineer, Procure, Construct) contractor.

• CIM-Alive - ESPRIT project to Indentify Reuseable CIM Concepts

• CIM-BIOSYS - CIM Building Integrated Open SYStems from MSI

• CIMSIM - ESPRIT Project for Economic and Technical Evaluation of CIM Solutions

• CIMOSA - CIMOpen System Architecture developed by AMICE (European Standard)

• COPICS - Communications Oriented Production Information and Control System (IBM)

• EIS - Honeywell Engineering Information System

• ESPRIT (now Navigator?)
  • CNMA Communications Network for Manufacturing Application
  • CIMSIM (see CIMSIM above)
  • CIMOSA (see CIMOSA above)
  • DCC
  • DINAS
  • VOICE

• ESTELLE - Language used to establish Integrating Infrastructure Design

• EXPRESS - Information Modelling Language Used with STEP [ISO 10303]

• FCIM

• GRAI-GIM - GRAI Integrated Methodology

• MICIM - Methodology for Introduction of CIM

• MMCS - Manufacturing Mangement Control System (Shop & Cell Planning)

• MOSES - Model Oriented Simultaneous Engineering System

• OOMIS - Object-Oriented modelling methology for Manufacturing Information Systems

• PAC - Production Activity Control Model

• PERA Master Planning Methodology
