Abstract
This paper presents an approach to dynamic modelling of GRAI grids of production planning and control systems so that the performance of the CAPM systems can be evaluated. The approach implements some of the desirable extensions to GRAI grids to enable them to be dynamically modelled, described in earlier papers. It utilises one of the new flow charting modelling software packages. The approach has been applied to a case study project and experience gained is briefly described. As a preliminary result of the study, the paper concludes that the proposed methodology shows considerable promise. Planned further work leading to refinement and extension of the methodology are described.
