Abstract

The proposal of this work is to present a sistematics to help enterprises in the selection process o f CAD and CAPP systems really adequate to supply their needs for information. The selection sistematics presented is included within an integration methodology, enabling the selection process to start from the knowledge of the enterprise\'s current situation and allowing its information needs to be extracted from a reference model, to be defined from the modelling ofthe enterprise. The sistematics is subdivided in eight phases wich include the training of the personal to be involved in the selection process, definition of the main requirements (functional, technical and commercial) to be satisfied by the systems available in the market, besides the method used to formalize such requirements, in search for the final choice among the analised systems. Besides that, this work presents the development of a modelling tool in order to give computational support to establish the enterprise\'s information needs, in this way helping the accomplishment of one o f the proposed sistematics phase.
