Abstract
To completely describe a manufacturing system, several models are usually created, each from a different viewpoint. Traditionally, these models are created independently using different methodologies and in different environments. This approach poses many problems, for example, time-consuming, inconsistency between models, difficulties in model maintenance, difficulties in ensuring a seamless transition in the system development life cycle, etc.. To overcome these problems, a comprehensive methodology termed IDEF* has been developed for the modelling of enterprise systems. The purpose of this paper is to introduce to the readers the features and concepts of the methodology.
