A LSIS CASE STUDY: COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

AbstractAn approach to development of pioneering large scale industrial systems is described for a case study of computer integrated manufacturing and management systems. The paper presents some experience in large scale systems and the current state of art for the domain. A feasible approach is proposed, based on prospective user expectations and the system development with use of so called first thread on which the standards facilitating development of subsequent systems should be developed and people acquainted with both manufacturing and management problems should be educated. The approach proposed is particularly suitable for big metallurgical plants and IFAC seems to be a good choice for an organisation preparing the first implementation.
