Abstract
The paper presents a conceptual overview, key technologies and experience in constructing plantwide management and information systems. The necessity of such a system is first described, followed by an outline of the system structure. Then, we present a millwide system, which has been in operation in one of the largest pulp and paper mill in Japan. This system employs key technologies, such as optimization algorithms, an expert system, relational database management, simulation techniques and local area networks. We also make several suggestions on constructing plantwide management and information systems based on our practical experiences in several plantwide systems. Finally, we discuss the future direction in which we expect these system to develop.
