Integrated enterprise modeling

The Integrated Enterprise Modeling is developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology (German: IPK) Berlin, Germany.

An application-oriented division of all elements of an enterprise forms the core of the method in generic object classes "product", "resource" and "order".

The objects of the class "order" represent the information that is relevant from the point of view of planning, control, and supervision of the enterprise processes.

The IEM class "resource" contains all necessary key players which are required in the enterprise for the execution or support of activities.

Among other things, these are employees, business partner, all kinds of documents as well as information systems or operating supplies.

Through this it is possible to show both line of business typical and enterprise-specific product, order and resource subclasses.

Structures (e.g. parts lists or organisation charts) can be shown as relational features of the classes with the help of being-part-of- and consists-of-relations between different subclasses.

On a model level business process flows are represented with the aid of illustrated combination elements.

Starting out from a conceptual formulation the area of the real system to be shown is selected and interfaces will be defined to an environment.

This can cause the model changes whose realization should clear the weak points and make use of the improvement potentials in the real system.

The MO²GO system is expandable easily and makes a high-speed modeling approach possible.

For its implementation, no special methods or tool knowledge is required besides the basic EDP and Internet experiences.

The means e.g. that the individual actions must be deposited with its descriptions, the responsibility of the organisation units must be indicated explicitly or the paths also must be entered to the documents in the class tree.

Users can call on all templates, specifications and documents for the working sequence both from the process assistant and from the MO²GO Viewer online.

The process modeling represents a powerful instrument for the design and a conversion of a process-oriented knowledge management.
