Abstract
Enterprise processes are characterised to specify a conceptual model of MEs. The model is developed, with reference to processes classes, resource system types, product flows, and organisational views, so as to exemplify general interoperability needs and to highlight deficiencies in current EM and EI provision. One significant deficiency relates to modelling human resources. Hence ME enhancements are proposed centred on the coherent modeling of human systems and enterprise processes.
