Abstract

A method and a system determine a technological layer in which a module of a Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) application is to be deployed. The specific MOM application has two or more modules that are separately deployable in at least two technological layers. For the specific MOM application, a set of characteristic parameters is defined that characterize business, process and information technology characteristics of the specific MOM application relevant for technological layer computation purposes. For each given module, there is defined a layer-deploying function, having as input a subset of the characteristic parameters and having as output a range value determining the technological layer to deploy the module at configuration time. For at least one of the given modules, there is determined the corresponding deploying technological layer by applying its corresponding layer-deploying function.
