The efficiency of the modeling method is the decisive factor for the success of generated innovative solutions, while existing modeling methods are usually based on the assumptions that many prior knowledge/information about the design has been acquired. A novel modeling approach based on living system theory is proposed and its detailed implementation steps are given, which provides an easy operating, complete information representation, and general-purpose decomposition mode for the functional design of mechanical product. Finally, through the application in the design of automatic packaging mechanism, the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method is verified.

Enterprises are like living creatures in the ecosystem – there are vast varieties of species; each individual in any species is unique, complex, dynamic, and constantly interacting with its ever-changing environment. Also, like living creatures, enterprises have many commonalities. These commonalities exist in all enterprises, regardless of their business, size, environment, culture, lifecycle stage, or any other factor. Enterprise Architecture (EA) management helps enterprises discover their commonalities, adopt best practices to manage the commonalities, and apply holistic and systemic approaches to tackling unique complexity encountered by enterprises. This chapter extracts thinking from many thought leaders in the EA discipline and consolidates a dynamic and multi-dimensional alignment approach to managing an enterprise’s architecture as a living system. This integrated approach utilizes the “Fractal” concept in Chaos Theory and identifies six common alignment dimensions in enterprises. This approach includes dynamic alignment mechanisms to help enterprises navigate the increasingly complex and ever-changing world. This approach bridges individual alignments with enterprise optimization. A fictional example of a disaster relief operation is used to illustrate how the EA approach could help a relief enterprise navigate through the complexity and dynamics of the disaster relief operation to achieve life-saving results.

With the development of technology today, it is very important for every company to plan and develop a system to support business processes in each company. Achieving the goals of an enterprise faces challenges and changes that require strategies for effective measures and efficient use of resources. One important and increasingly widely used strategy is the use and improvement of information system support for the enterprise. This plan can utilize enterprise architecture planning methodology that produces data architecture, application architecture, technology architecture, and the direction of its implementation plan for the enterprise.CV Biensi Fesyenindo is engaged in retail garment, with branches throughout Indonesia, covering the areas of Kalimantan, Sulawesai, NTB, NTT, Bali, Java and Sumatra. In their daily activities, they carry out production to distribution processes to meet market and employee needs.The enterprise architecture model used in this study is by using Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP). EAP is a process of defining enterprise architecture that focuses on data architecture, applications and technology in supporting business and plans to implement the architecture, where the EAP method has several stages, starting from planning in planning, business modeling , Current System and Technology (Current System & Technology), Data Architecture (Data Architecture), Application Architecture (Applications Architecture), Technology Architecture (Technology Architecture), Implementation Plans (Implementation Plans).The results of this study are recommendations for information systems for Fesyenindo Biensi CV in the form of enterprise architecture planing blue print planning that is successful in defining 5 main business processes, which consist of application architecture data architecture and for technological architecture to produce technology architecture proposals divided into 5 chapters 110 pages .
