Abstract

The initial phase of IIASA's IIS Project is to produce a "state-of-the-art" survey with the following objectives: (1) determining the current status of planning, scheduling and control functions and their integration; (2) identifying problem areas and limitations inherent in current practices; and (3) identifying people and information sources useful in the further development of the project.

This report may be one stone in the mosaic of the initial phase of the IIS Project: After discussing general questions of the planning process, it shows the "state-of-the-art" for advanced industrial engineering companies and construction companies ("Mechanical Engineering resp. Discrete Manufacturing Systems") in Austria. Against this background the possibilities of small countries such as Austria making use of the latest developments in planning methods and information technology are discussed finally.
