Abstract: “In the domain of chemical process engineering, there is an increased interest in the integration of the enterprise hierarchical levels for decision-making purposes. At the scheduling level, decisions on the allocation of tasks to resources, sequencing and timing of tasks must be managed. However, such decisions are directly related to other enterprise actions, such as control and planning, but they are difficult to coordinate because they are modeled at different time and space scales, and their goals are not the same…”
Comments: the authors are briefly referring to CAPE-OPEN when describing the integration of decision-making in enterprise structure. They state that “several standards are used in enterprises in order to improve their efficiency and flow of information, such as CAPE-OPEN,…”
