目前应用于企业资源计划系统建模的方法和工具存在较大缺陷。为此,提出了面向企业资源计划全生命周期的建模方法及相应的工具系统,支持企业资源计划系统需求分析、设计、实施等各阶段模型的灵活构造,并通过映射关系实现模型之间的转换与追溯。给出了企业资源计划全生命周期的建模方法支持企业资源计划业务元模型。通过分析企业资源计划全生命周期的建模需求,探讨企业资源计划全生命周期的建模方法的建模体系与建模过程。企业资源计划全生命周期的建模方法采用片段作为模型的基本组织单位,采用内容对象和图形对象作为模型信息的基本组织单位,支持对建模框架和模型内容的动态配置与扩展,并提供了基于可扩展标记语言的模型转换语言,为将模型数据自动转化为输出文档和程序源代码提供了支持手段。
There were some deficiencies existing in most popular modeling methodologies and tools for Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP) system. To solve these problems, a new modeling tool, Huiton ERP-Modeling (HEM) was designed to support full lifecycle modeling for ERP systems, with emphasis on the forward transformation and reverse traceability among models of different phases. The business meta-model of HEM, and the concrete modeling architecture and modeling process were elaborately proposed by analysis on the modeling requirements of full lifecycle. For this tool, the Segment was adopted as the basic organization unit for ERP models, the content objects and graph objects were used as the basic model information organization unit. Dynamic configuration on modeling framework and model contents was also supported in HEM. In addition, several eXtensible Markup Language(XML) - based model transformation languages to support the automatic transformations from ERP models to Word-based documents and Java-based source codes were briefly introduced.
