Conceptual Design of a Decision Support Model for Production Planning in the Tailoring Companies Located in the City of Ibagué

Abstract

Challenges faced by companies are increasingly greater, which is why decision making in production planning is a key factor for their continuity and competitiveness. One of the most affected sectors due to the increase of imports is the clothing industry, for this reason, we proposed a model of decision making in the production area. For its development, we applied the phases of acquisition, knowledge representation and decision making that determine an organizational Intelligence Model.  In the acquisition phase, characteristics of the production systems were identified, highlighting the role that the machine has in the system survival, the decrease of the region's own product and the absence of knowledge and/or tools for production planning. In the next phase, the main components of the model are determined, in the last phase, the complete model is developed, and the computational tool applied for analysis, as well as related validation. A model focused on production planning was designed, which contemplates the needs of the companies in the region, generates information and projects future situations for decision-making.
