Abstract

Production planning and control (PPC) systems are used to organize operating materials. In order to address connectivity demands of interacting PPC systems a new software architecture has been presented in prior work. This software architecture provides a basis for data exchange in-between such systems. It is up to this paper to describe an implementation approach realizing the theory. Furthermore, a new optimization process which targets subcontracting, dynamics and communication of interconnected PPC systems is presented. As a result, the mandatory and optional content of an order enquiry as well as of a response message is discussed.
