Abstract

Enterprise integration connects and combines people, processes, systems, and technologies to ensure that the right people and the right processes have the right information and the right resources at the right time. Many researchers have contributed towards the integration of manufacturing enterprises but still there is a need to develop a method to guide manufacturing enterprises towards integration. This research focuses to achieve the above objective of functional integration of manufacturing enterprises by developing a methodology, which enables manufacturing enterprises to be competitive in the present marketplace. An enterprise integration index (EII) has been established to represent the current status of a manufacturing enterprise. This index measures the effect of integration across all functions of manufacturing enterprise
