Abstract
This work describes advances in relation to previous contributions (Mannarino et al., 1997a, b) regarding the development of a framework for representing an organization through its different dimensions. The paper focuses on the development of Task and Dynamic models. Task models describe an organization from a functional point of view. They characterize the organization in terms of the Tasks that are carried out to achieve the enterprise goals and the way these activities are linked through physical and information resources and temporal relationships. Dynamic models depict the dynamic behavior of a production environment. They put emphasis on how the Resources of an organization evolve and interact to achieve complex goals.
