whitepaper A UML Profile for the e3-Value e-Business Model Ontology2008-05-07 Vienna University of Technology
  Shorter life cycles of products and services require faster changing business models. Information systems must quickly adjust to the adapted business models. Business models are usually described by their own proprietary notation, which is incompatible with UML - the de-facto modeling standard in software engineering. In order to allow a straight-through modeling approach from business models over business process models to software artifacts, it is desirable to use a common modeling approach. This paper presents a discussion of different approaches to represent the e3-Value concepts by means of UML. A UML notation for e3-Value is a precondition to future work on aligning e3-Value to UML- based approaches specifying inter-organizational business processes.

whitepaper Riding the Growth Wave: Leveraging Economies of Scale2008-04-23 SAP
  As established companies already know, it is almost always more efficient to use existing production facilities than to build new facilities from the ground up. As a proven player in your field, you can leverage economies of scale to increase production through the use of existing equipment and people, lowering cost per unit and increasing profit margins. The same applies to providers of services. Using the talented personnel you have and expanding the quality and distribution of services or support are much easier than starting from scratch. The ability to take advantage of economies of scale can lead to profitable growth and gains in market share.

However, capturing the benefits of economies of scale is not always easy. Production disruptions and operational inefficiencies can quickly negate the economies of scale you are trying to build. Economic pressures erode prices and margins and require you to do more with fewer resources just to maintain the status quo. Customers' demands for fixed-cost bids and higher levels of service can disrupt your carefully laid business plans. To overcome these challenges, you must be able to manage production and service in a way that efficiently leverages economies of scale.

This paper examines how an integrated information technology solution can help you take advantage of economies of scale to boost manufacturing utilization, enhance service levels, and improve the efficiency of your sales and administrative activities.
