CONCURRENTLY DESIGNING A PHYSICAL PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND AN INFORMATION SYSTEM IN A MANUFACTURING SETTING

The advancement of information technology in manufacturing requires process architects to refine their procedures used to design new manufacturing systems. No longer can these designers implement a physical production system first, and then later incorporate a capable information system to control that production system. Rather, the physical production system and the information system must be designed concurrently to ensure the resulting system yields a seamless flow of information as well as physical material. This thesis reviews the traditional methodology used to design a physical production process. The major tools and steps of that methodology will be reviewed, and case examples will be provided showing how the traditional method is typically applied. Two major shortcomings of the design process (the neglecting of the flow of information and its overly sequential nature) will be identified. To address these shortcomings, specific concepts, models, and methods have been developed. These new tools form the structure of an improved design methodology for manufacturing processes
