In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to manufacturing strategy. Considerable work has been done in defining market-driven competitive priorities as part of manufacturing strategy and linking them to 'structural' decision areas. Linkage to 'infrastructural' decision areas like Production Control Systems (PCS) is found to be inadequately researched. This paper presents a three-staged approach which links manufacturing strategy to PCS. First, the PCS environment is described using three dimensions of: competitive priorities, product complexity and process complexity. The environment defined in the first stage is then used to select the appropriate level of multi-level 'decision variables' which fully define a PCS in Stage 2. In the third stage, the set of selected levels for each of the decision variables, which form the guidelines for detailed PCS design, are then integrated into a hybrid PCS customised to the manufacturing strategy of the firm. This approach to PCS design was then tested at several firms and was found to be useful for identifying the inconsistencies between existing PCS and the manufacturing environment and strategy.
