A model for analysis and design of an integrated operations management system using systems engineering approach: A case study

Abstract: Background: Generally, operation management includes a set of complicated systems interfacing each other. Most important systems which impact and impacted by the operations management system are production management system and maintenance management system. But to treat the interfacing losses has been difficult as interact and partially overlap each other. In this study, case-operational system was treated with developed model that analysis and design integrated operational system in order to make it easier and cost effective to manage. Methods: A model was developed based on latest literature survey work using systems paradigm methodology and systems engineering approach. Results: Among five analysis techniques, four types of interfacing losses were identified, seven requirements were extracted, nine conceptual solutions were generated, one of them was selected and based on it the integrated operational management system were designed. Conclusions: The results suggest that the operational system in case-company shall be integrated by organization management, process management, and control management, in addition to data management.
