ISBN: 0412844508 ISBN-13: 9780412844508 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $161.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: May 1999 Annotation: This book elaborates on the information infrastructure needed by manufacturing enterprises in order to share information and to coordinate decision and control. This infrastructure should feature common methods and integrated applications for shop floor control, order processing, contract negotiation and cooperation in product and process development. Information Infrastructure Systems for Manufacturing addresses five main topics: The coordination and organization of information system requirements and their synthesis into comprehensive conceptual models; The development of reconfigurable information infrastructures, combining the conceptual models with computing, communication and storage technologies; The development of intelligent manufacturing systems; The design of models for extended enterprises and product life cycles; and The definition of related infrastructure services. The book contains the selected proceedings of the Third International Conference on the Design of Information Infrastructure Systems for Manufacturing (DIISM'98), sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held at Fort Worth, Texas, USA in May 1998. This valuable new book will be essential reading for researchers and all those working in production engineering, information technology for industrial enterprises, shop-floor computing and software engineering. |

| Publisher Description: In this global society, manufacturers compete in many ways, and information infrastructures play a critical role in ensuring the right information is available at the right time and the right place to support informed decision making. The traditional approach that assumes all information can be located on a single mainframe and accessed by everybody in the enterprise has fallen by the wayside, and new infrastructures supporting extended or virtual enterprises and globally distributed supply chains are becoming increasingly vital to successful, competitive organizations. Functions, data, and information must be made be available to all without regard to location, accessibility, or the ability to view in a native format. This book is a result of a conference, which brought together a number of leading experts from around the world that work on topics related to the design, implementation, and use of information infrastructures for manufacturing. These experts presented their views on the state of the art, and on a wide variety of topics related to the title. The topics range from the establishment of a generic enterprise framework, which can be used for the design of a supporting information infrastructure to details of how geometric surfaces should be merged together. Although not an exhaustive publication, we believe that the publications in this book represent the state of the art in this research is essential reading for anyone who is attempting the design or development of an information infrastructure for all aspects of Manufacturing. |
