The shift towards the future of manufacturing is a main stake for companies to remain competitive. This paper proposes to manage this shift in a global manner through an enhanced co-evolution model. It takes into account the main enterprise domains that have to `co-evolve': product, manufacturing and information system. The model also integrates the role of the strategy and of the human workforce which are crucial in the Factory of the Future context. We identify the modeling constructs required to support an efficient co-evolution management.
