Enterprise models are essential for the understanding, analysis, engineering, improvement, optimisation, maintenance and even management and control of enterprise systems. In that sense, Enterprise Modelling is foundational for Enterprise Engineering, Integration and Management and closely associated to Enterprise Architectures. This synthesis paper reviews and summarises important research works and contributions made to Enterprise Modelling over the last four decades, outlining major modelling constructs and their extensions as well as prominent modelling tools and methods and discussing future developments in the context of smart manufacturing or Industry 4.0.
