Abstract

With the recognition of the importance of Computer Integrated Systems (CIM) in improving manufacturing productivity, there is a pressing need for good software modelling approaches to support efficient design and control of manufacturing systems. Software design concepts based on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) are emerging as powerful techniques for developing large scale software systems. This paper presents important features of object-oriented computing and the relevance of such an approach in modelling and developing software for manufacturing systems.
