An Object-Oriented Analysis and Design of a Model for Production Planning and Control in Industry

During the last two decades, many companies have made large investments in the development and implementation of production planning and control systems. However, only a few of these systems developed or installed have actually been used in practice, and even fewer have made a significant impact on manufacturing industries. Systems, after being implemented, often remain in use for only for a limited time.Effective modelling is one of the most important and difficult steps in the development of reliable information systems, and production planning and control in industry is very difficult. This paper presents an object-oriented analysis (OOA) and describes the design of a model for production planning and control in a customised industrial environment. The proposed model was designed for the development of innovative industrial software for the optimum management of production planning in a wide range of business areas.
