Zusammenfassung
Due to increasing competitive pressure, manufacturing
companies need to support flexible and scalable business
processes – both on the shop floor and in their enterprise software
systems. Cloud manufacturing is a recent approach to realize
real-world manufacturing processes by applying well-known basic
concepts from the field of Cloud computing to this domain.
To implement Cloud manufacturing, it is necessary to model,
enact and monitor according manufacturing processes and virtualize
the single process steps. So far, Business Process Management
Systems do not explicitly support Cloud manufacturing.
This paper analyzes requirements regarding process enactment
for Cloud manufacturing and provides a concept for an according
software framework.
