Objective
The objective of the project is to provide a set of tools and a methodology to support the implementation of Production Planning and Control (PPC) systems for industrial SMEs. The tools will allow the formal description of PPC requirements, the derivation of object-oriented models of production systems and the rapid prototyping of the PPC applications through the configuration of a generic application. The process will be assisted by a knowledge base capable of adapting a generic object-oriented model of PPC systems to specific user needs. The system will enable CIME designers to develop models quickly and prototype applications based on the specific needs of the manufacturing enterprise. The applications may act as simulation tools or serve as a basis for developing a final solution or selecting and adapting existing software.
The tool set will consist of a requirement workbench enabling the designer to formally describe the production system and generate PPC/DSS requirements, a knowledge based configurator module assisting the derivation of the final model, and a prototype of the tool-set, which will be evaluated through pilot applications.

The project will be based on the layered modularised PPC architecture developed within ESPRIT projects 477 (COSIMA) and 2338 (IMPACS) as well as the prototyping methodology of project 5424 (CIMPLE). INFORMATION DISSEMINATION ACTIVITES Workshops will be organised in the three countries involved in the project, to which representatives of both industry and academia will be invited. In Romania the workshop will be completed by extensive demonstrations of the practical use of the tools in the pilot user's plant.
