The linking between all the three is shown in the figure 1. Concept The ERP is the heart of the KTT system, it gives the input to the different technologies which are mentioned, and in turn will be getting the output in terms of the decisions. This is similar to Data warehousing and mining. It consists of all the data which is required for generating the performance factors for the top management. The inputs for this system are ERP system which tracks all the shop-floor and other transactions taking place in the system.
Performance reports for the decisions which are frozen from the simulation.
Graphs with the comparison with the targets These are going to be generated every month. The sample of the package is shown in the figure no 3. The simplest way these can be developed is using the Visual Basic, and the inputs will be from data-transfer interface programs from the ERP system to the format one requires. There will not be any interdepartmental conflicts, since the targets all are coming from the system. If one see the most complex situation in any manufacturing area is the scheduling.
