Course Description
This course introduces you the concepts of enterprise modelling in terms of manufacturing system development life cycles: network, project and product. The main enterprise reference architectures including CIM-OSA, Purdue, GRAI, Zachman, SOA are elaborated in details. Case studies for these key enterprise reference architectures and other commonly used architectures such as C4SIR are used to illustrate the role and effect of enterprise modelling to manufacturing. The course then focuses on the international generic enterprise architecture: GERAM and its adoption in ISO 15704:2000, which generalises enterprise modelling with cross enterprise architecture mappings. The course examines the effect of globalisation in manufacturing and introduces the extension of enterprise modelling to virtual enterprise reference architecture, concurrent engineering and collaborative.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Integrated and holistic understanding of manufacturing
Problem solving and decision making
Advanced technical competence
Working in teams and professional networks
Research
The objectives of the course are:
o To gain an understanding of how modern manufacturing enterprises work while competing in the global market environment;
o To introduce the knowledge of enterprise modelling, enterprise design, reference enterprise architectures;
o To develop an open approach to the development of most appropriate enterprise architecture for specific business requirements.
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:
o Work with top management of the manufacturing enterprise to design or re-design the business processes to achieve a highly integrated and efficient organisation supported by latest information technology and resources;
o Carry out modelling studies as a consulting engineer in a manufacturing organisation in a thorough and pervasive manner;
o Manage a large manufacturing project from initiation to completion efficiently and effectively.
