Abstract: Complex manufacturing systems with mix of semi-repetitive and repetitive products to achieve high level of productivity supported by the standardization of products and processes and the optimization in the use of production resources through, among other factors, the automation of measurement and control of its manufacturing processes. Allowing more visibility of the flow restrictions that can be minimized when properly detected. The automation of the control of complex environment manufacturing processes, however, is heavily dependent of IT tools, applied directly in the operation interface with enterprise systems together with specialist software in some management functions of business as part of an information system that can be designed with a minimum number of interfaces (system with a small number of computer applications) or robust involving greater investment in the acquisition of a significant number of applications licenses, hardware structure and data transmission network, user training and deployment process. In this paper, is presented the historical development of the planning and the control of operations with emphasis on the main IT tools developed in recent decades, in order to identify the main possibilities of the design of an information system capable of integrating the flow of internal information on manufacturing organizations with the flow of internal information on the companies that make up the chain of the business supplies.
