Abstract

This paper presents PROMAN (PROduction MANagement), a software solution applied to production management optimization for a company with an extensive variety of human and material resources and with a nonlinear production chain. The adopted solution is based on the use of generic office applications that will improve the usability of the system. On the other hand, a specific module for the visualization of Gantt charts has been developed that adjusts to the present application and to user requirements. "Associacio/spl acute/ Shalom", an SME that needs the solution that we present, will use the results of this project.
