CEN/TC 310/WG 1 - Systems architecture

This document specifies constructs for modelling and specifying product-related service systems in general business terms, recognising the service environment and the product lifecycle. The constructs and their meta-model are consistent with the Model Driven Service Engineering Architecture (MDSEA). They are intended for use by business users to address their business concerns and decision-making, and by systems engineers and IT/researchers using a model-driven engineering approach in the design, development and deployment of service systems in Virtual Manufacturing Enterprises (VMEs), business ecosystems and other application areas.

The purpose of ISO 11354-1:2011 is to specify a Framework for Enterprise Interoperability (FEI) that establishes dimensions and viewpoints to address interoperability barriers, their potential solutions, and the relationships between them.
ISO 11354 applies to manufacturing enterprises, but can also apply to other kinds of enterprises. It is intended for use by stakeholders who are concerned with developing and deploying solutions based on information and communication technology for manufacturing enterprise process interoperability. It focuses on, but is not restricted to, enterprise (manufacturing or service) interoperability.
ISO 11354-1:2011 specifies the following:
       viewpoints for addressing stakeholder concerns for the exchange of entities (information objects or physical objects) at the operational levels of enterprises at which interoperability is required;
       a framework for structuring these stakeholder concerns (business, process, service, data), the barriers relating to enterprise interoperability (conceptual, technological, organizational) and the approaches to overcome barriers (integrated, unified, federated), with contents identifying the various kinds of solutions available to enable interoperability.
ISO 11354-1:2011 does not specify the specific mechanisms for the exchange of entities (information objects or physical objects), nor the manner in which interoperability solutions are implemented.

ISO 19440:2007 specifies the characteristics of the core constructs necessary for computer-supported modelling of enterprises conforming to ISO 19439.
ISO 19440:2007 focuses on, but is not restricted to, the computer integration of the information aspects of manufacturing, including the management and control technology and the required human tasks. It does not specify how these core constructs for model-based operations are to be implemented and, in particular, it does not include the control language needed to specify and execute (internal) activity behaviour, nor the mapping between functional operations and capabilities.

This Technical Specification specifies:
-   levels to represent the capability of an enterprise to interoperate with other enterprises;
-   measures for assessing the capability of a specific enterprise to interoperate with other enterprises;
-   methods for combining these measures into two kinds of overall assessment (i) maturity level by concern and barrier and (ii) assessment relative to four designated maturity levels;
-   a method for representing concern and barrier overall assessments in a graphical form and for identifying where capabilities are required to achieve desired higher levels of interoperability.

This European PreNormative Standard (ENV) identifies the requirements for a basic set of functionalities needed in enterprise engineering for creating and using enterprise models. This set may be expanded in the course of technology evolution. It identifies so far as found possible those standards, services, protocols and interfaces which are necessary for the computer-based development and execution of enterprise models and model components that have been constructed in accordance with ENV 40003 and ENV 12204.

This document gives guidelines for enterprise integration by using concepts and rules for modelling enterprise-wide decision-making structures, focusing on the production of management and control systems.
This document does not deal with standard decision processes, or how each individual decision is taken, but defines an integrated decision-making structure within which decisions are consistently made system-wide.

This ENV constitutes a European PreStandard on Constructs for Enterprise Modelling, supporting the Views defined in ENV 40 003, CIM systems architecture framework for modelling. It contains definitions and descriptions of the common constructs necessary for computer-based modelling of enterprises, focusing on Discrete Parts Manufacturing. Models generated using constructs in accordance with this framework will be computer processable and ultimately enable the daily operations of an enterprise to be run, monitored and controlled by such models.

A standard for a framework, which will serve as a common basis for identifying and co-ordinating standards development for computer-based modelling of enterprises, focusing on Computer Integrated Manufacturing. Models generated using constructs themselves defined in accordance to this framework will be computer enactable and enable business process model based decision support leading to model based monitoring and control.
