4 Preface The purpose of this book is to discuss the state of the art and future trends in the field of computerized production management systems. It is composed of a number of independent papers, each presented in a chapter. Some of the widely recognized experts in the field around the world have been asked to contribute. lowe each of them my sincere gratitude for their kind cooperation. I am also grateful to Peter Falster and Jim Browne for their kind support in helping me to review topics to be covered and to select the authors. This book is a result of the professional work done in the International Federation of Information Processing Technical Committee IFIP TC5 "Computer Applications in Technology" and especially in the Working Group WG5.7 "Computer-Aided Production Management". This group was established in 1978 with the aim of promoting and encouraging the advancement of the field of computer systems for the production management of manufacturing, offshore, construction, electronic and similar and related industries. The scope of the work includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: 1) design and implementation of new production planning and control systems taking into account new technology and management philosophy; 2) CAPM in a CIM environment including interfaces to CAD and CAM; 3) project management and cost engineering; 4) knowledge engineering in CAPM; 5) CAPM for Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) and Flexible Assembly Systems (F AS); 6) methods and concepts in CAPM; 7) economic and social implications of CAPM. The Working Group has the following specific tasks in furthering the area of its scope: a) maintaining liaison with the other appropriate national and international organizations and IFIP's TCs and WGs working in related fields; b) conducting working conferences and symposia as deemed appropriate in furthering its scope; c) stimulating and sponsoring research investigations and social studies into the various aspects of the topics of its scope. This book is one of the ways in which the Working Group 5.7 can meet its objectives.

5 VI Preface The book is divided into six parts. Each part contains a number of papers. Part I covers stages of development in production management and is intended as an introduction. Recently various PM concepts or philosophies have received a great deal of attention, and Part II contains papers on the most interesting ones, like MRP, nt, OPT, period batch control, and all-embracing production control. The fundamental techniques that are used in production management are discussed in Part III. These cover graph theory, simulation, operations research, and artificial intelligence. Parts II and III form the theoretical foundation of PM. Part IV addresses computerization of PM systems. It contains papers on databases, user interfaces, systems analysis, fourth generation languages, etc. In Part V some important aspects are further discussed. Scheduling, planning in FMS, forecasting, stock control, and integration of PM into elm are discussed. In the last part, Part VI, some industrial applications are discussed. Different industries are covered, such as small companies, the car industry, the aircraft industry, job shops, the electromechanical industry, and the electronic industry. IFIP WGS.7 has been working with a Glossary of Production Management that has been published. A short summary of this is presented as an appendix. The viewpoints in this book are those of the authors as individuals and not necessarily those of their companies/organizations. It is my sincere hope that this book will be of interest to production planners and computer experts as well as to academicians and industrial people.
