Abstract
This paper presents a research project under development, aiming to integrate Production Planning and Control functions and Process Planning functions with the support of a Discrete Event Simulation tool. This integrated system will be targeted to typical metalworking companies, manufacturing small to medium sized batches. Planning and control of large production systems involves the resolution of very difficult problems, normally demanding a high degree of human intervention. Through this approach we aim to improve the effectiveness of each planning function and also to simplify the decision-making tasks when dealing with unexpected events at shop floor level.
