“…At the framework proposed by Henrich et al [17] despite some quantitative dimensions are included, most of them were related to the process and just a few were associated to the market. Tatsiopoulos and Mekras [18] propose an expert system where the selection of a PPCS applies a typology that uniquely includes product and process characteristics.…”

Choosing and designing production planning and control systems are critical tasks because they provide the means to translate the corporate strategy into direct shop floor actions. However, it is not always easy to find the correct systems for an application. This difficulty occurs if the company does not present the necessary criteria for the system, in which case the expected benefits may not be achieved. This study proposes a framework to support the selection or design of a production planning and control system (PPCS) based on the current characteristics of a company. Using relevant parameters, companies are categorized and posteriorly evaluated, identifying the negative and positive relations between the company characteristics and the principles of the evaluated PPCSs. To test the proposed framework, we apply it to determine a suitable system for Ecuadorian small and medium-sized enterprises. Simplified drum buffer rope (S-DBR) approach is found to be a suitable PPCS, and the framework suggested some necessary enhancements to resolve potential weaknesses that could arise during the application of S-DBR.Keywords-production planning and control systems, framework, PPCS selection, small and medium manufacturing enterprises, simplified drum buffer rope

The selection of a Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is a strategic decision in any industry. In hospitals such systems are becoming increasingly necessary because of the high proportion of the budget allocated to the maintenance area and the increasing demand for quality from both health-care professionals and patients. The aim of this study is to propose a more satisfactory CMMS selection process. The process uses a decision-making model based on the use of the multicriteria technique ELECTRE II in two stages. First, the software suppliers that can guarantee a successful implementation of the CMMS are selected. Then, the CMMS that best meets the organisation's needs and requirements is selected. To demonstrate the process, the authors present a case study of the selection process in a Spanish regional health service. Finally, a discussion of the influence of the public health-care environment on the final decision is offered.

“…These types of IT solutions have been largely popularized since Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) was introduced in 1990s [11]. Packaged software can cover wide range of organizational processes and activities such as word processing, inventory control, accounting, production planning and control, simulation and Customer relationship management (CRM) [12,13,14,15,16].…”

Nowadays, worldwide competition and need for possessing competitive advantage have forced Iranian small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to employ information technology (IT) to take advantage of their benefits. Due to SMEs" special characteristics generally referred to as resource poverty, these businesses are more inclined to purchase packaged software to meet their organizational needs for advanced computational technologies. However, the evaluation and selection of appropriate packaged software which satisfactorily meet these requirements is a complicated software engineering process and the selection of wrong packaged software can dramatically impose negative impacts over business processes and profitability. Using a questionnaire-based survey to collect data from the managers of manufacturing SMEs, IT experts, vendors, producers of packaged software and software engineers in Iran, as well as through applying the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) method, TOPSIS, this paper aims to answer the question which domestically provided software package is the fittest with the needs of Iranian manufacturing SMEs. The methodology and findings offer valuable insights to decision makers to select the most appropriate packaged software to fit with business process.
