This Part of BS 5192 gives guidance on the use of computers in production control. It does not describe the use of computers in other areas of the business such as computer aided design, engineering management, finance, purchasing, payroll, maintenance and sales order processing. However, the techniques and requirements identified and recommended in this Part of BS 5192 for the establishment of a formal specification of requirement, selection and justification of a computerized production control system (either bespoke or a commercial package), installation and implementation of the system, together with the guidance on ongoing operational requirements and future trends, may be applicable not only to production control systems but equally to the professional evaluation, selection, implementation and operation of any business system in the manufacturing company.
