CIMOSA Overview
CIMOSA is an ESPRIT supported enterprise modeling
solution
The Reference Architecture supports the description of the
enterprise, from the management level to the shop floor
level
CIMOSA consists of an Enterprise Modeling Framework
and an Integrating Infrastructure
CIMOSA models used not only in decision support, but
also in model driven operation monitoring and control
CIMOSA Reference Architecture

CIMOSA Modeling Framework
Three Architectural Levels
Generic Level
Catalogue for basic building blocks
Partial Level
Library of partial models applicable to particular purposes
Particular Level
Model of a particular enterprise built from building blocks and partial
models.
CIMOSA Modeling Framework (2)
Three Modeling Levels
Requirements Modeling
For gathering business requirements
Design Modeling
For specifying optimized and system-oriented representation of the
business requirements
Implementation Modeling
For describing a complete CIM system and all its implemented
components
CIMOSA Modeling Framework (3)
Four Integrated Views
Function View
For describing the expected behavior and functionality of the enterprise
Information View
For describing the integrated information objects of the enterprise
Resource View
For describing the resource objects of the enterprise
Organization View
For describing the organization of the enterprise

Conclusion
Lean enterprises, BPR, CE, Management of change, etc.,
should be viewed as subsets of enterprise integration.
Enterprise modeling is an effective tool to achieve
enterprise integration.
CIMOSA is a modeling solution for identification of
available information and its use in the operation of an
enterprise.
