Abstract
<jats:p>In 1986 a comprehensive study into the state of the art in Computer
Aided Production Management (CAPM) in UK industry commissioned by the
ACME (Application of Computers to Manufacturing Engineering) directorate
of the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) revealed a number
of deficiencies in existing CAPM systems and approaches. As a
consequence of this report, a number of specific sectors were identified
including the small company sector, large company sector, make to order
sector and the electronics sector. This article outlines the results of
the work of the research team engaged in developing a CAPM
implementation methodology for the electronics sector, which was the
largest of the ACME CAPM projects. The research team believe that the
results are equally applicable for CAPM implementation in other
manufacturing sectors.</jats:p>
