Abstract

Studies show that enterprise computerised integration faces complex organisational, technical, and social shortcomings. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore how engineering design can be effectively and successfully integrated into a manufacturing enterprise computerised system. Based on the paper's qualitative findings supported by authorities, evidence, or logic, essentially, it is argued that CAD models should consider and incorporate common design and manufacturing objects that will improve CAD/CAPP communication and lead to better enterprise computerised integration. This also leads to the need for a multi-perspective research approach for solving enterprise computerised integration problems.
