Abstract :
Application modules are identified that clearly lend themselves to an integrated information flow in a controlled manner: CAD (computer-aided design) and CAPP (computer-aided process planning) consist of the product and process design centers of the proposed system respectively. MRP II undertakes the management of production plants to satisfy the market demand. The functional design of the system is presented together with the modeling and analysis, using generalize Petri nets. A database interoperability language is in its final development stage, to enable the construction of the knowledge base that will control the system. Extensions of this work include the incorporation of a shop-floor control module, to interface with the factory level
