Benefits of Using EEML
From a general point of view, EEML can be used like any other modeling languages in numerous cases. However we can highlight the virtual enterprise example, which can be considered as a direct field of application for EEML with regard to Extended Enterprise planning, operation, and management.
- Knowledge sharing: Create and maintain a shared understanding of the scope and purpose of the enterprise, as well as viewpoints on how to fulfil the purpose.
- Dynamically networked organisations: Make knowledge as available as possible within the organization.
- Heterogeneous infrastructures: Achieve a relevant knowledge sharing process through heterogeneous infrastructures.
- Process knowledge management: Integrate the different business processes levels of abstraction.
- Motivation: creates enthusiasm and commitment among members of an organization to follow up on the various actions that are necessary to restructure the enterprise.
EEML can help organisations meet these challenges by modeling all the manufacturing and logistics processes in the extended enterprise. This model allows capturing a rich set of relationships between the organization, people, processes and resources of the virtual enterprise. It also aims at making people understand, communicate, develop and cultivate solutions to business problems
According to J. krogstie (2008), Enterprise Models can be created to serve various purposes which include:
- Human sense making and communication -the main purpose of enterprise modeling is to make sense of the real world aspects of an enterprise in order to facilitate communicate with parties involved.
- Computer assisted analysis - the main purpose of enterprise modeling is to gain knowledge about the enterprise through simulation and computation of various parameters.
- Model deployment and activation - the main purpose of enterprise modeling is to integrate the model in an enterprise-wide information system and enabling on-line information retrieval and direct work process guidance.
EEML enables Extended Enterprises to build up their operation based on standard processes through allowing modeling of all actors, processes and tasks in the Extended Enterprise and thereby have clear description of the Extended Enterprise. Finally, models developed will be used to measure and evaluate the Extended Enterprise.

Famous quotes containing the words benefits of and/or benefits:
“One of your biggest jobs as a parent of multiples is no bigger than simply talking to your children individually and requiring that they respond to you individually as well. The benefits of this kind of communication can be enormous, in terms of the relationship you develop with each child, in terms of their language development, and eventually in terms of their sense of individuality, too.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
