receiving, in a computer system, a request to generate a first object and a second object, the first object to be used in initiating a manufacturing-type operation and the second object to be used in initiating a warehouse-type operation; and
generating the first object and the second object in response to the request, the first and second objects being generated using an object model for physical operations.
15. A system comprising:
a first resource configured to perform a manufacturing-type operation with regard to a product;
a second resource configured to perform a warehouse-type operation with regard to the product; and

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the object generating module is further configured to generate a step object for at least one of the first and second objects, the step object representing performance of a step in the associated operation.
17. The system of claim 15, wherein the object generating module is further configured to generate an electronic view for at least one of the first and second objects, the electronic view being defined by the object model.
18. The system of claim 17, wherein the electronic view represents a material flow regarding the manufacturing-type operation or the warehouse-type operation.
19. The system of claim 17, wherein the electronic view represents a scheduling regarding the manufacturing-type operation or the warehouse-type operation.
20. The system of claim 17, wherein the electronic view represents a description of the manufacturing-type operation or the warehouse-type operation.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A process for producing a one-piece cooling channel piston (1), above all, for a diesel engine, comprising a continuous annular, closed cooling channel (13) inside the piston head (2), and an annular recess (8) which is provided between the piston head (2) and the piston skirt (4), in which the piston skirt (4) is connected to the piston bosses (5) attached to the piston head (2), comprising the steps by which a piston blank (1) is produced, the annular recess (8) and the cooling channel (13), which is open towards the bottom, are inserted by means of metal cutting, and subsequently the outer contour of the piston is completed, and the cooling channel (13), which is open towards the bottom, will be closed, characterized by the fact that the axial height of the annular recess (8) is smaller than the axial height of the cooling channel (13), and an additional recess (10) is added to annular recess (8) by means of metal cutting, in which production of the cooling channel (13) starts in an area parallel to a face of the piston boss face (11).
2. A process as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that a tool (12) is positioned in an area parallel to a piston boss face (11), and subsequently the piston (1) is put into rotational motion, with a continuous infeed of the tool (12).
3. A process as defined in claim 1, characterized by the fact that a tool (12) is positioned in an area parallel to a face of the piston boss face (11), and subsequently the to ol (12) is put into rotational motion, with a continuous infeed of the tool (12).
4. A cooling channel piston (1), above all, for a diesel engine, comprising a continuous annular, closed cooling channel (13) provided inside the piston head (2), and an annular recess (8) provided between the piston head (2) and the piston skirt (4), in which the piston skirt (4) is connected to the piston bosses (5) attached to the piston head (2), characterized by the fact that the axial height of the annular recess (8) is smaller than the axial height of the cooling channel (13).
