Abstract :
This paper describes the progress and interim findings of research at the MSI Research Institute at Loughborough University concerned with: consolidating and developing modelling methods and tools, which support the design and implementation of integrated systems; and identifying requirements for modelling `resources´, to support the engineering of manufacturing enterprises. The research is funded jointly by the CDP committee of EPSRC and UK industry and is being advanced in conjunction with a consortium of manufacturing user organisations and their software and system suppliers
