Abstract
This is the first of two papers describing an approach to assessing the effectiveness of production control systems in defined company types. A method of classification according to production control complexity is developed, leading to the definition of six basic company classifications within the engineering batch-manufacturing sector. It is proposed that these groups should form the basis for a standardized approach to system design; this will be discussed further in the second paper.Keywords
