Objectif The objective of this project was to demonstrate that a higher level of efficiency and a greater level of job satisfaction can be achieved by maximising manufacturing planning and control decision-making at the lowest possible levels. Manufacturing efficiency will be increased and job skills and experience will be extended because: - authority and responsibility will be delegated to the levels which have the relevant experience and the most immediate data necessary to make the best judgements - the volume of data passing through the system will be substantially reduced, resulting in reduced communications overhead, decrease in complexity, and a shorter response time. The following systems were to be developed: - the Operator Management System (OMS) offering operator planning and control at the cell level in two versions - a stand-alone version running on PC type workstations and an on-machine version running on custom CNC hardware offering real-time monitoring of the machining process - the Production Management Support System (PMS) offering operator planning and control at the multi-cell in two versions: standard PMS, supporting PMS software functions and linking to higher level MrP systems, and multi-level PMS, with additional links supporting communication with lower level management systems. The PMS and OMS were to be linked to form the complete Distributed Manufacturing Planning and Control System.
