Abstract

Often the production management strategies and solutions applicable to large manufacturers may not be suitable for smaller companies. This paper describes an architecture for Production Activity Control and shows how this may be adapted to suit the needs of Small Manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs). In many SMEs the human scheduler is the main source of expertise and knowledge within the Production Activity Control system. We recognize the need for a framework within which the human expert can exert control.
