The application of an integrated enterprise modelling methodology – function, information, dynamics, and organization – to supply chain integration modelling

Existing multi-view enterprise-modelling methodologies have been utilized for the modelling and integration of a single company or within an enterprise, but they do not specifically address the techniques for inter-enterprise modelling and integration. This paper presents the function, information, dynamics, and organisation (FIDO) multi-view enterprise-modelling methodology developed to support the understanding, analysis, and design of business processes aligned with information systems for inter-enterprise integration between companies as well as for a single company. The FIDO methodology includes an integrated modelling framework and a suite of modelling techniques for enterprise modelling. We present the application of the FIDO methodology to analyse the interactions and to establish the supply-chain process integration between primes and subs in the defence electronics industry.
