Manufacturing productivity education data control by a general database system

This paper describes a database system which is in use by a National Science Foundation funded education project. The major thrust of the project is to develop and distribute modularized learning units which are concerned with topics in manufacturing productivity. The database, which utilizes the FORTRAN-based GPLAN/DMS 3 system, stores and controls the selective input and output of data concerned with manufacturing productivity education. The database logic and structure are described and examples of input and outout are presented.
