Abstract (EN):
This paper describes a Systems Engineering Approach ([1] and [2]) to the design of an Integrated Decision Support System, IDES', for the Planning and Control of ATMA, a Portuguese Textile Company. The paper presents the overall process emphasis the methodological framework and the main results. Systems Engineering methods were crucial in the development of a methodological framework adapted to the specificities of the Portuguese industry. This framework proved invaluable in the process of mapping a conceptual planning and control architecture based on dynamical optimization [3] onto the design of the IDES according to the recommendations of the strategic plan of ATMA [4]. Concepts and techniques from Control Systems, Dynamic Optimization, Software Engineering, Enterprise Modeling and Anthropocentric Systems were used in this process.
