Abstract

Any production management system (PMS) can be divided into three interconnected parts:

  • User interface

  • Application (with the necessary systems software connections)

  • Data (or knowledge) base.

Dr. Eero Eloranta has a M.S. from Helsinki University of Technology in Industrial Engineering. He received the degree of Ph.D. in 1981 at Helsinki University of Technology, the Laboratory of Information Processing Science. His major fields of interest are production management and distributed information systems. He has previously spent one year at Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands). At the moment he is working as a project leader of “Distributed Production Management Systems” in the national Finprit development program in Finland. He is also working as a lecturer in industrial management and in information processing science at Helsinki University of Technology. Dr. Eloranta is in IFIP WG 5.7 and is representing Helsinki University of Technology in the CAM -I factory management program.
