In batch manufacturing information management systems, software productivity is a big problem because it is difficult to provide commonly-utilized software layer due to differences of plant facilities and production processes among target plants. In this paper, we present a model of a batch tracing mechanism and a view generation mechanism which can be utilized as a software layer organizing a batch manufacturing information management system. In addition, we confirmed that an application of this software layer for a model plant can be performed in short time and run-time performance is good enough for a practical use.
