Interoperability study for upgrading ERP applications

该拟议项目支持麦考伊钻井完井公司-法尔（麦考伊）和阿尔伯塔大学之间的持续研究合作，以调查可扩展的互操作性技术，用于在关键业务转型中升级企业资源规划（ERP）应用程序，从独立和内部制造到基于开放和全球供应链的生产。复杂的产品装配结构和配置以及动态制造过程必须以通用的方式进行建模，以便由现有ERP工具生成或过去使用现有ERP工具开发的数据结构可以与新的数据结构无缝集成或迁移到新的数据结构中，而新的数据结构又可以与新的ERP工具接口。研究的重点是现有的和一个新的ERP系统之间的互操作性，以及供应链模型中不同的供应商和合作伙伴之间的协作方案。研究活动包括制造过程建模和ERP接口的重新开发，以适应分布式制造管理需求的新场景;动态供应链系统中资源计划和作业调度的通用计算解决方案;用于自动化ERP数据迁移或集成的中立数据模式定义，最后，ERP实施新框架下成本工程方法的发展。相应的可交付成果包括通用和可接受的生产外判和内部流程模式和程序，其形式为标准化的操作数据表格和与新的企业资源规划系统整合的计算机化管理界面;一个工作计算机程序，用于在考虑可用的能力和资源的情况下生成和修改主生产时间表;根据新的企业资源规划系统可以有效访问和使用的现有企业资源规划数据内容，更新或迁移数据文件;一套有效的工作程序和计算机程序，与新的ERP软件相结合，以便不同的情况下的成本在供应链的背景下，工程可以定量地模拟和ommonary。

This proposed project supports the continued research collaboration between McCoy Drilling and Completion -Farr (McCoy) and the University of Alberta to investigate the scalable interoperability technology for upgrading Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) applications in a critical business transition, from self-dependent and in-house manufacturing to an open and global supply chain based production. Complex product assembly structures and configurations as well as the dynamic manufacturing processes have to be modeled in a generic manner so that the data structures generated by, or developed in the past with, the existing ERP tool can be seamlessly integrated with, or migrated into a new data structures which are in turn to be interfaced with a new ERP tool. The research focus is on the interoperability between the existing and a new ERP systems, as well as the collaboration scheme among different suppliers and partners in a supply chain model. The research activities include manufacturing process modeling and redevelopment of the ERP interfaces for the new scenarios with the distributed manufacturing management requirement; generic computational solution for the resources planning and job scheduling in a dynamic supply chain system; neutral data schema definition for the automated ERP data migration or integration, and finally, the development of a cost engineering method under the new framework of ERP implementation. The corresponding deliverables are the generic and acceptable manufacturing outsource and in-house process models and procedures in the form of standardized operation data forms and computerized management interfaces integrated with the new ERP system; a working computer program to generate and modify master production schedule with the consideration of available capabilities and resources; Updated or migrated data files based on the existing ERP data contents that can be accessed and used effectively by the new ERP system; A set of effective working procedures and a computer program that is integrated with the new ERP software such that different scenarios of cost engineering in the context of supply chains can be quantitatively simulated and ompared.
