Abstract
Delivering business optimization via systems
requires integration of the enterprise and manufacturing
systems. Manufacturing Operation Management (MOM)
Systems bridge the gap between plant systems and
Enterprise Resources Planning Systems. Traditional MOM
consists of a set of standalone applications that are living in
silos with minimum interaction. This causes functional
replication and overlap among the MOM applications, which
usually lead to minimizing the full utilization of these
applications. This paper describes the philosophy of the
Role-Based Decision Support System (RB-DSS). This
research details the process of knowledge modeling, which is
based on the ISA-95 functional decomposition, extending
ISA-95 into the implementation of workflow applications to
execute and coordinate operations tasks and streamline plant
operations with ever-changing supply chain processes. The
last aspect of this research focuses on demonstrating the
benefits of applying the RB-DSS together with changes to
traditional MOM operations by providing standard rolebased
execution templates.
