An Integrated Manufacturing and Management System for Manufacturing Enterprises

An approach to design of a large-scale distributed system intended for factory automation is described for a case study of Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Management systems (CIMMs) indented for industrial applications. Some aspects of the two basic approaches to design of novel large-scale CIMMs (by-organisation and by-thinking) are compared. The paper presents some experience in design and development of large-scale Information and Communication Topology (ICT) systems and the current state of art for the domain. A feasible approach (by-thinking) is proposed for that distributed system, 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 the specialists involved, acquainted with both manufacturing and management problems, should be educated. There is also depicted some modelling and analysis work intended for facilitating design and implementation of future CIMMs, being a good example of complex ICT systems.
