Abstract
Existing approaches to Enterprise Integration are limited in what they have to say about the strategic planning process which should precede any major change, such as Enterprise Integration, Business Process Re-engineering, adoption of Cellular Manufacturing, etc. Based on our experiences in successfully transforming manufacturing activities to Cellular Manufacturing, we suggest that it is indeed feasible to construct a methodology to support manufacturing strategy assessment, and that the tools and techniques that we used in analysing the existing environments prior to introducing Cellular Manufacturing could form the basis for such a methodology.
