Presidential Young Investigator Award: Design and Development of a Manufacturing Enterprise Architecture

这项研究工作的目标是设计和 开发制造企业架构（MEA）， 作为实施计算机 集成制造（CIM）在未来的工厂。 这种方法对于制造领域是必要的， 特别是在CIM的范围内。 初始阶段 研究，服装/纺织品制造业将是 用于纺织服装制造业的发展 建筑学（TAMA）。 目前可用于《公约》的方法 开发这样的架构， 因为象征性知识在研究中起着至关重要的作用， 在企业成功运营中的作用（例如，在 生产计划和调度）。 TAMA随后将 一般包括其他制造工艺。 问题 与制造业的领域或行业独立观点相关 也将被调查。 因此，为期五年的研究 目标不仅是成功地执行国际监测协调机制， 在纺织品/服装制造业，但也有一个通用的MEA 未来的工厂。

The objective of this research effort is to design and develop manufacturing enterprise architecture (MEA), which will serve as a blueprint for the implementation of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) in the factory of the future. This approach is necessary to the domain of manufacturing, especially in the context of CIM. During the initial phase of the research, the apparel/textile manufacturing sector will be used for the development of the Textile Apparel Manufacturing Architecture (TAMA). Methodologies currently available for the development of such an architecture, do not lend themselves well to the investigation since symbolic knowledge plays a crucial role in the successful operation of an enterprise (e.g., in production planning and scheduling). TAMA will subsequently be generalized to encompass other manufacturing processes. Issues related to a domain or industry independent view of manufacturing will also be investigated. Thus, the five-year research objective is not only to have a successful implementation of CIM in textile/apparel manufacturing, but also to have a generic MEA for the factory of the future.
