Abstract
A common understanding of the enterprise is critical for any improvement
effort. Modeling is an approach to providing a common understanding of the
enterprise and how to achieve its desired future condition. The Enterprise
Engineer must determine how to design and improve all the elements in an
enterprise to enable the enterprise to achieve its goals. This paper presents a
methodology for the classification of living models of the enterprise. It presents
the results of a field study using a survey method approach on the use of
enterprise models and a manufacturing enterprise reference model. The
methodology will enable the common understanding and reuse of enterprise
models.
