Manufacturing Software for an Integrated Steel Plant ( Pages)
by Ashfaque Ahmed
Jul 30, 2004 Abstract : An integrated steel plant poses a challenge to any software vendor who wants to build manufacturing software for it. That is why there are not many software vendors around who can claim to possess manufacturing software which fits the requirements of an integrated steel plant. The steel industry has not been doing well for last one decade. But today, it is poised to make a remarkable comeback. This fact presents a good opportunity for software vendors to tap this industry.

Manufacturing Software for an Integrated Steel Plant (0 Pages)
by Ashfaque Ahmed
Sep 10, 2008 Abstract : An integrated steel plant’s manufacturing processes typically encompass three distinct types of manufacturing—flow manufacturing, process manufacturing, and mill manufacturing—making such a plant a mixed-mode manufacturer. Software systems that address the diverse needs these manufacturers have cannot be emphasized more.

Process Manufacturing Software: A Primer (8 Pages)
by Joseph J. Strub
Mar 20, 2004 Abstract : This article looks at ERP software with a very narrow focus, namely that of process manufacturing. Understanding the differences between process and discrete manufacturing can assist you in emphasizing and concentrating on those functions and features that matter most in the process world. This emphasis may clarify your choice of software or, more importantly, help you avoid being saddled with ill-fitting concepts and procedures. If you are a process manufacturing expert, you may find this article somewhat basic. However, for those of you just getting into a process manufacturing project or those thinking that process and discrete manufacturing, like the poetic line, 'a rose is a rose is a rose,' are the same, read on. For experts, feel free to disagree with my premises as your viewpoint would be of interest.

PeopleSoft Gathers Manufacturing and SCM Wherewithal Part Three: The Manufacturing Industry ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jan 27, 2004 Abstract : Even before the mega merger, PeopleSoft had already set it sights on a bigger manufacturing presence. PeopleSoft’s acquisition of mid-to-large ERP system developer J.D. Edwards this summer, and most recently demand flow and lean manufacturing software solution from JCIT, might indicate some deep though process rather than a number of impulse initiatives from the past.

PeopleSoft Gathers Manufacturing and SCM Wherewithal Part One: Recent Anouncements ( Pages)
by P.J. Jakovljevic
Jan 24, 2004 Abstract : Hiring the former APICS president to head its manufacturing industry efforts a year ago, the high profile acquisition of renowned manufacturing ERP provider J.D. Edwards this summer, and most recently, the acquisition of demand flow and lean manufacturing software solutions from JCIT, might indicate that PeopleSoft has finally gotten its manufacturing creed. Will these moves finally and lastingly establish it as a serious contender in the manufacturing enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) space?

Architecture-Centered Information Systems In The Manufacturing Domain - Part II - The Architecture Process ( Pages)
by Glen B. Alleman
Sep 6, 2002 Abstract : Architecture bridges the semantic gap between the requirements and software. Application software systems must be architected in order to deal with the current and future needs of the business organization. Managing software projects using architecture-centered methodologies must be an intentional step in the process of deploying information systems ― not an accidental by-product of the software acquisition and integration process.
