Abstract/Summary: Today, within the global product lifecycle management (PLM) approach, success of design, industrialization and production activities depends on the ability to coordinate and improve the interaction among information systems that handle such activities. Enterprises deploy mainly the PLM system, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and the manufacturing execution system (MES) in order to manage sufficient product related information and provide better customer-products. In this paper, we propose a preliminary analyse of the interaction problem among engineering and production management by focusing on the industrialization step. A main focus on the information systems involved in the product development and manufacturing followed in this analysis. The use of the ISA 95 standard specifications to analyze the realization of a possible interaction is also presented. The recognition of the limitations of each solution is also part of these analyses.
