TC 5.2. Manufacturing Modelling for Management and Control

Welcome Message from the Chair

The activities of the Manufacturing Modelling for Management and Control Technical Committee are devoted to promote the development of formal descriptive or prescriptive models of manufacturing systems. Models range from simulation models (discrete-event and continuous, graphic simulation and emulation) to optimization and knowledge-based models, all of them oriented to production management.  Technical areas of interest in this Committee include:
(a) Models of manufacturing operations in production as well as assembly units, with  the aim of designing architectures for production activity control, process supervision, quality assurance and maintenance;
(b) Models of manufacturing processes aiming at the design of procedures for process planning, production planning and control, job and activity scheduling, and logistics;
(c) Models of communication-based and Internet-based manufacturing operations and processes with the aim of accomplishing the functions listed in (a) and (b).
