Towards a Capability-Based Decision Support System for a Manufacturing Shop

Abstract

To succeed, long term organizations must compete efficiently and out-perform their competitors in a dynamic environment. To survive in this competition, identification, classification and management of organizational capabilities are vital. This paper presents a methodology for developing a system to store, manage, and maintain intra-organizational capabilities for decision making processes on resources, processes and strategies for business opportunities. The proposed methodology is explored in an educational manufacturing cell.
