Abstract :
The author describes the development of a shop floor control systems (SFCSs) over the past decade and also discusses activities aimed at improving productivity through the use of an SFCS. An SFCS has the following functions: database operation, data collection, information services, and manufacturing equipment control and monitoring. Two examples of leading-edge and typical SFCSs in the Japanese electronics industry are provided. The implementation and use of SFCSs are discussed
