The Coors Architecture Workshop was a 4-session workshop delivered over 2 days aimed at developing a first pass at a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) architecture. The architecture was defined in terms of four views or perspectives: a business view, a functional view, a technical view, and an implementation view. The intent was to provide an artist’s sketch of all four views to be used as a guide to further refine and develop the architecture in subsequent phases.
