Computer executable modelling approaches have significant roles to play in
enabling decision making in dynamic manufacturing organisations especially
in relation to engineer its Production Planning and Control (PPC) system. In
order to understand the system prior to selection of any PPC strategy,
multiple process segments of organisations need to be modelled. The paper
outlines key PPC strategies and describes a novel systematic approach for
creating coherent sets of unified models that facilitate engineering of PPC
strategies. Information models can form a key element within Enterprise
Models (EMs) to enable decision making in engineering of PPC strategies.
Case study information models are presented to enable the PPC decision
making process in support of complex organisation design and change
(OD&C). The paper outlines key areas for future research including the need
for research into unified modelling approaches and interoperation of partial
models in support of complex OD&C.
