Abstract

En 中文

European enterprises are striving for effective business processes to survive in a highly competitive inter-national market. Only dramatic changes in production organisation and enterprise culture can protect from loosing marker shares. The reduced product life-cycles require adjusting the manufacturing system nearly continuously to the changing production flow. This adaptation can only be achieved efficiently if the factor planning processes are optimized. Because these processes are of multi-disciplinary character with team members often located at different production sites. the process design is a very challenging task. Surprisingly, the process of manufacturing system engineering, an essential part of factory planning, is poorly formalized and lacks qualified computer support. In this paper we present a new approach to manufacturing system engineering, that is based on a thorough process redesign and the definition of an information system that supports the process continuously, allowing defination of a. flexible workflow that incorporates a variety of design and analysis tools.
