TL;DR: The Stanford Integrated Manufacturing Enterprise Management System (SIMEMS) as discussed by the authors was developed to provide intelligent decision support for planning and control of operation decision processes and also to provide a link between such decision process and strategic considerations at the enterprise level so as to yield a competitive advantage.
Abstract: A discussion is presented on the Stanford Integrated Manufacturing Enterprise Management System (SIMEMS), which was developed to provide intelligent decision support for planning and control of operation decision processes and also to provide a link between such decision processes and strategic considerations at the enterprise level so as to yield a competitive advantage. The system is developed to achieve several aspects of integration: integration among functional units within the organization in coordinating operational planning and control; integration of operational policies with strategic position; and integration of systems, AI, and operations research techniques in problem solving. In addition to providing intelligent management decision support for manufacturing enterprise, SIMEMS can be regarded as a prototype example of a powerful modeling technique in support of complex problem solving processes. >

TL;DR: The application of flexible manufacturing as a new process technology seems to enable the enterprise to gain productivity and to push up it's competitive strength as mentioned in this paper, although it is not accompanied by an increasing output.
Abstract: Over the past decade, as a result of world-wide stagnation — combined with the entrance of low wage competitors to the market — the situation of the manufacturing industries in the industrialized economies became more competitive. Although it is not accompanied by an increasing output, the application of flexible manufacturing as a new process technology seems to enable the enterprise to gain productivity and to push up it’s competitive strength.
