Abstract

The paper developed a reconfigurable shop floor management system. Firstly, the business process of the shop floor production was introduced, which was based on the time scale of monthly, weekly and daily, and the method for the operation plan and the preparation of tools and materials was put forward. Then, the shop floor management system was divided into 9 subsystems, i.e. BOM, planning and scheduling, inventory, tool, quality, cost, and decision support management, et al. Moreover, the information integration of shop floor management system with other system, such as MRPII, CAPP, was discussed. Thirdly, the component-based hierarchy software architecture for the shop floor management was established. Finally, the shop floor management system was developed successfully through the assembly of these finished components. Running results in 3 enterprises in China show that the shop floor management is feasible, reconfigurable, and can meet the individual requirements of many enterprises.
