Abstract:
This paper presents the use of a Conceptual Constraint (CC) Domain to systematize the construction of Decision Making Models (DMMs). The modelling systematics include the integration between the CC Domain and production systems as well as an identification procedure which contains some steps aimed at constraint identification using the CC Domain. The CC Domain consists of different modelling elements such as Conceptual Constraints (generic constraint types), Conceptual Components (pieces of a constraint), and Conceptual Component Elements (pieces of a conceptual component that may be connected to production systems). In this instance, the CC Domain is integrated with the Process Systems Engineering (PSE) Domain as a production system domain. The PSE Domain contains information from the multi-level functional hierarchical in an enterprise and it will be used to cover a wide range of scenarios related to hierarchical integration of DMMs. In addition, an integration step between the CC
and PSE Domains is illustrated. The focus of the work is to show how these models should be developed in order to be properly integrated, and how they are used by different functionalities with an identification procedure.
