Abstract

In this study, a method for defining and structuring Production Performance Indicators (PPIs) in different discrete manufacturing systems is proposed, where the defining characteristics of an indicator are used so that it can be described through the use of ontology representations. The proposed method focuses on the definition of indicators from two perspectives; the general perspective, where a PPI is described, based on its relevance to general manufacturing attributes and the specific, where an instance of a PPI is created, containing all the necessary information for its application to a specific manufacturing system.
