Abstract
GRAI Methodology is one of the three main methodologies for enterprise modeling (with PERA and CIMOSA). To support this methodology different tools are being developed. GRAIXPERT is a hybrid expert system for detecting inconsistencies in enterprises. GRAISUC is a module for choosing and implementing supply chain management tool in enterprises. GRAIQUAL is a module for improving quality system of enterprises. These modules are based on the use of different reasoning (Case-based reasoning (CBR), decomposition, transformation) but also on the enterprise knowledge management. The enterprise knowledge could be explicit or tacit. Each case of enterprise studied allows to improve the knowledge of the tool. Then, Multi-agent systems are used for acquiring this knowledge and managing improvement. This paper presents how Multi-agent system could be associated to CBR and Decomposition reasoning in order to be more efficient during the enterprise modelling.
