Handbook on Integrated Manufacturing Systems Engineering

Modern manufacturing systems must be engineered as any other complex systems, especially in the context of their integration. Manufacturing industries endeavor to reduce the cost of the product continuously to remain competitive in the face of global competition. This book presents the all-embracing concept of the Extended Enterprise as way of inter-enterprise integration. It then focusses on Enterprise Engineering methods and tools to address intra-enterprise integration using a model-based approach. Business process modelling and re-engineering issues are particularly discussed and tools presented.
