Abstract
In this chapter we present an architecture for the activities which occur at the operational level of the PMS hierarchy, namely, the day-to-day tasks involved in planning and controlling production on a shop floor. Production Activity Control (PAC) and Factory Coordination (FC) provide a framework which integrates the requirements planning functions of MRP type systems and the planning and control activities on a shop floor, and in doing so close the loop between the tactical and operational layers of the PMS hierarchy.
