Gives concepts and rules for computer-understandable models of a manufacturing enterprise to help enterprise processes to interoperate.

This International Standard specifies concepts and rules for computer-understandable models of a manufacturing enterprise to better enable enterprise processes to interoperate.

This International Standard does not define standard enterprise processes, standard enterprises, standard organizational structures, or standard enterprise data. In addition, this International Standard does not specify the enterprise-modeling process, but forms the basis by which enterprise-modeling standards can be developed where they are needed.
