Abstract
Information Technology at the shop floor level in the process industry is now well developed. Compared with the manufacturing industry the process industry has been a regular user of instrumentation and control systems for at least two decades. Computer-based control systems and computer-literate personnel in this industry are commonplace. With the lower level operations well under control, attention has recently being focussed onto the top level of the ‘control’ hierarchy, ie that of overall production control.
