Supporting Production Management for Manufacturing

Supporting Production Management for Manufacturing: Production and operations management (POM) is an important activity in all organizations which can make use now of protocols and networking technologies for providing more efficient tools. In this paper, we     describe the implementation of a set of primitives     suitable for supporting production management (PM) applications. The PM service is based on the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol of the  Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) architecture. The MMS is modeled according with its companion standard and the solution is oriented for manufacturing.
