Abstract
Manufacturing industries are constantly looking for better ways to develop the software required to plan and control production processes. Experimental software is being developed using objectoriented program development techniques. There are many prototypes being used and tested at both academic and industrial institutions around the world.
The purpose of this paper is to examine a selection of these systems in order to highlight some of the main benefits which are being achieved by using object-oriented methods over the use of conventional approaches. Practical considerations are made concerning the long-term adoption of object-oriented methodologies in software development for Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environments.
