Enterprise modelling is the abstract representation, description and definition of the structure, processes, information and resources of an identifiable business, government body, or other large organization.〔Cornelius T. Leondes, Richard Henry Frymuth Jackson (1992). ''Manufacturing and Automation Systems: Techniques and Technologies''. Academic Press, 1992. ISBN 0-12-012745-8, p.97〕 It deals with the process of understanding an enterprise business and improving its performance through creation of enterprise models. This includes the modelling of the relevant business domain (usually relatively stable), business processes (usually more volatile), and Information technology. == Overview == Enterprise modelling is the process of building models of whole or part of an enterprise with process models, data models, resource models and or new ontologies etc. It is based on knowledge about the enterprise, previous models and/or reference models as well as domain ontologies using model representation languages.〔F.B. Vernadat (1997). (Enterprise Modelling Languages ICEIMT'97 Enterprise Integration - International Consensus ). EI-IC ESPRIT Project 21.859.〕 An enterprise in general is a unit of economic organization or activity. These activities are required to develop and deliver products and/or services to a customer. An enterprise includes a number of functions and operations such as purchasing, manufacturing, marketing, finance, engineering, and research and development. The enterprise of interest are those corporate functions and operations necessary to manufacture current and potential future variants of a product.〔James K. Ostie (1996). ("An Introduction to Enterprise Modeling and Simulation" )〕 The term "enterprise model" is used in industry to represent differing enterprise representations, with no real standardized definition.〔E. Aranow (1991). "Modeling Exercises Shape Up Enterprises". In: ''Software Magazine'' Vol.11 , p. 36-43〕 Due to the complexity of enterprise organizations, a vast number of differing enterprise modelling approaches have been pursued across industry and academia.〔C. J. Pétrie Jr. (1992). "Introduction", In: ''Enterprise Integration Modeling - Proceedings of the First International Conference'' MIT Press, p. 563.〕 Enterprise modelling constructs can focus upon manufacturing operations and/or business operations; however, a common thread in enterprise modelling is an inclusion of assessment of information technology. For example, the use of networked computers to trigger and receive replacement orders along a material supply chain is an example of how information technology is used to coordinate manufacturing operations within an enterprise.〔 The basic idea of enterprise modelling according to Ulrich Frank〔("Enterprise modeling" ) by Ulrich Frank (2009) at wi-inf.uni-due.de. Retrieved May 30, 2009.〕 is "to offer different views on an enterprise, thereby providing a medium to foster dialogues between various stakeholders - both in academia and in practice. For this purpose they include abstractions suitable for strategic planning, organisational (re-) design and software engineering. The views should complement each other and thereby foster a better understanding of complex systems by systematic abstractions. The views should be generic in the sense that they can be applied to any enterprise. At the same time they should offer abstractions that help with designing information systems which are well integrated with a company's long term strategy and its organisation. Hence, enterprise models can be regarded as the conceptual infrastructure that support a high level of integration."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「enterprise modelling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
