The author has created a complete virtual model of a batch lot manufacturing factory using the IBM's modeling tool Rational System Architect. This presentation shows some of the improvements that the CORSO's Archimate plug-in brings to the traditional Enterprise Architecture environment.

1. Factory Control System
A demonstration of the Archimate
System Architect Plugin utilization for
Enterprise Modeling

2. Foreword
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the
manufacturing environment, the concept of Enterprise
Architecture, the concept of Business Process, and the
use of Enterprise Architecture tools such as IBM
Rational System Architect that has been used – in
conjuction with the Archimate plug-in – to model this
demonstration. Every figure in this presentation has
been created using one of the several diagramming
notations provided by System Architect, not
powerpoint.
