Abstract

Markets globalization makes industrial companies to change radically, becoming more flexible, customer oriented and agile in manufacturing. Consequently, the enterprise software applications are becoming more and more complex, exploiting distributed object technology in multitier architectures. The aim of the paper is to present the design specification for an enterprise application that integrates the ERP concept in three-tier architecture, containing modularized, distributed subsystems in configurable and maintainable software. Starting from the customer order, to planned order dispatch, the ERP main components and the information flow within the system is presented. Then, the software architecture is discussed, where the ERP components are implemented using Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), deployed in a J2EE application server, for performing transactions with business environment and the database. Constructing the visual model in Unified Modeling Language (UML), the application is designed and analyzed. The use case diagram of the system is presented
