An Industrial Knowledge Reuse Oriented Enterprise Modeling Framework for Enterprise Management Information Systems

Existing enterprise modeling architectures can not provide effective support on expressing and reusing industrial knowledge. Industrial knowledge reuse oriented enterprise modeling for integrated management information systems (MIS) should be located between general purpose enterprise modeling and concrete enterprise application scheme, and an enterprise modeling framework for integrated MIS which is industrial knowledge reuse oriented is put forward in this paper. In this framework, a new lifecycle dimension was constructed by extending traditional lifecycle dimension and combing the multiple views mechanism of ARIS, knowledge reuse dimension was introduced to support the modeling and reusing industrial knowledge, and the language, methodology and tools dimension was introduced to express the sets of languages, methods and tools used in constructing, validating, maintaining and evolving enterprise models. Finally, the cement production industry was adopted as an example to illustrate how the framework can be employed to guide the reuse of industrial knowledge.
