A methodology for evaluation of process and production planning

This paper presents a new methodology for the evaluation of process and production planning activities for decision-making within a computer integrated planning environment. The planning tasks of large production systems involve the management of large amounts of dynamic data, which has to be analysed for decision-making. Through the proposed methodology we aim to improve the effectiveness of both the performed evaluation and the decision-making tasks undertaken when dealing with the different ranges of plans required to satisfy shop floor dynamic requirements and objectives.
