Challenges of B2M and B2B Communication and Processes Many different applications across the enterprise doing the same function No enterprise wide application and information architecture Several versions of “enterprise-objects” or language for Product, Customer, Order, etc. This is a good news / bad news message The good news is that as organizations, most everyone is in the same boat. The bad news is that most everyone has a big problem with applications. Legacy is a big issue to everyone. So we are all in the same boat.

Challenges of B2M and M2M Integration Effective and Flexible Mfg. Operations …..HARD TO DO! Various Forms of the MES / ERP solution: Industry-specific production types Mixture of work order types across plant Speed and Volume of Throughput Standardization of work flow “best practices” Must Allow Change in Production Processes Without requiring change in logistics system Provide a clear demarcation of MES / ERP responsibilities and functions Business Logistics Manufacturing Operations

Technology S Curve: Challenge Explained Also Applies to Methods Development: Delivery, Training, User, Support and Change disciplines HMI / SCADA / PLC ERP SCM MES / PM It is against this backdrop that global manufacturers are getting back to the basics and focusing attention on their core manufacturing capabilities. Why now? Fortune 1000 manufacturers have been in the midst of massive ERP rollouts and consolidations – these are wrapping up and businesses are slowly discovering that ERP alone is not enough to achieve the level of operational excellence many had hoped for – or been promised. Companies have also been working to lean out their supply chains and procurement processes, and are awakening to the realization that manufacturing – or you can think of is as the ability to reliably supply product into these lean supply chains - is a critical capability that’s been starved for investments for nearly a decade. So if you look at what the gating factor is for making that next leap in operational excellence, it boils down to manufacturing itself. There’s been a lot of talk about demand visibility and the impact of demand visibility on performance. In fact, benchmarking studies we’ve done here at AMR show that slight increases in demand visibility yield substantial improvements in what we call “perfect order” performance – and profitability. Industry leaders have figured this out, but when you look at the leaders, they’ve also invested in the manufacturing capabilities needed to respond to the demand. So the real takeaway here is that even demand visibility isn’t enough if you can’t respond to that demand with high quality products out of the gate. In short – you can have the best demand visibility in the world, but it’s not going to matter if you can’t get a quality product out the door.

Interoperability Maturity Models Applied to Logistics and Operations Systems Level of Information System Interoperability (LISI) Framework scopes connectivity level for technical interoperability Does not account for system response required for mfg. workflows And other organizations even up to the Department of Defense had tried to put together interoperability measurements for all parts of a system. Dept. of Defense

Efforts Now on How to Model Systems to Business Process Before Going Live Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM) provides a framework for planning your data before modeling your application And a group close to our home office in Charlottesville Virginia, is trying to put together a model for you to access your data before you even put together your system for modeling. Everyone knows that a project that is planned ahead and modeled before implementation usually goes a lot smoother at time of installation.

Current State of Integration Mostly at the data level Mostly point to point Custom program interfaces or flat file exchange Grows at exponential rate Our (OAGi) experience in seeing hundreds or more organizations tell us that most integration is done at the data level today. (not process). Also people are doing point to point connections, uniquely to each business partner, even in the EDI world. Because this work is all custom, the model grows according to the N-squared Model. This leaves us all in the same place of trying to break out from this dilemma. We are spending so much on maintaining what we have, we have no money to fix the problem. Just maintain status quo.

BUT….Semantic Layer in Integration is Lagging Interoperability requires interfaces to be standardized. Only 5% of the interface is a function of the middleware. The other 95% is a function of the application semantics. (Gartner Group) 95% 5% Application Integration Semantics Messaging and Transport Services
