Full textAbstract:
The term Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) was created in 1990 by Advanced Manufacturing Research (AMR) to describe the suite of software products which enables the execution of manufacturing through the integration of planning and control systems. The purpose of this dissertation is to determine the current status of MES and to investigate the possible role of the Industrial Engineer in the development, implementation and use of MES. To achieve this objective, the most commonly accepted, recent and relevant definitions, business models, functions and developments of MES are investigated. Based on these, a new MES Function Matrix is developed and validated by a case study. Finally, Industrial Engineering is related to MES and the role of the Industrial Engineer promoted. The emergence of MES is a result of the evolution of three interrelated elements, namely manufacturing strategies, manufacturing planning and control systems and information technology. The development of global markets and the requirement for agile manufacturing led to the need for MES. The evolution of various aspects of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and more specifically Manufacturing Planning and Control (MPC) systems, is discussed as part of the investigation of the development of MES. The Three-Layer-model and REPAC-¬model by AMR Research, as well as variations of these models compiled by MESA ("International MES Association"), are investigated. Manufacturing execution is absent in traditional MPC models. Modern models, such as the Three-Layer-model, suggest an execution layer to be inserted between the planning and control layers. The investigation of the function models of McClellan and MESA International indicates that discrepancies exist between these models with regard to the functions of MES. A new MES Function Matrix is developed to address such shortcomings and is applied to a case study of DIAMES, a software product used by Aberdare Cables and promoted as an MES product. As an MES developer, the Industrial Engineer can act as designer, planner and innovator. The greatest value can, however, be added by the Industrial Engineer as integrator to ensure that horizontal plant-wide execution takes place, and not only vertical "islands of automation" integrated with planning systems. In order to accomplish this, the Industrial Engineer needs to fulfill the roles of boundary-spanner, facilitator, coordinator, analyst, chairperson, decision-maker, as well as trainer or educator. MES can also be used by the Industrial Engineer as a tool, for example as part of a program of continuous improvement. The identification of the relationship between the expertise of the Industrial Engineer and the roles to be played within the MES arena gave birth to the establishment of an MES research initiative at the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering of the University of Pretoria.Dissertation (MEng (Industrial Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2007.

Full textAbstract:
In order to survive in today's competitive manufacturing markets, manufacturing systems need to adapt at an ever-increasing pace to incorporate new technology which can lower the cost of production, while maintaining quality and delivery schedules. The task of the manufacturing system becomes even more challenging in the quest to use a common approach for different manufacturing plants and ever evolving manufacturing processes for specific plants. This thesis introduces a reference architecture that enables such changes between plants and updates within plants. For this, we use the paradigm of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). A developed MES architecture by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used as the standard reference architecture. Its flexibility and scalability is applied to a specific steel melt-shop plant case study. In this case study the standard framework is specified through re-labeling standard data and modules to specifics tailored for the melt process of a generic steel plant. Since steel plants are faced with difficult scheduling and disturbance handling problems, specific intelligent algorithms are developed to deal with these issues through integrating some of the control into the MES. Conclusions as to the success of the algorithms along with supporting data and recommendations of further use for them are also included.

Full textAbstract:
The priorities of executing the manufacturing orders generated by an MRP system are often in operational conflicts with the dynamics of the manufacturing floor. It is not uncommon for a given manufacturing order to reach the shop floor several weeks or longer after being "opened" by an MRP system where it may face a chaotic case of large queues, machine down-time, parts shortage, scrap problems and other resource management constraints. Many companies have resorted to the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software solution to resolve these problems. This method first gained popularity in mid-90’s within the semiconductor industry. An MES approach is an on-line, real-time data gathering, analysis and storage to assist in short-interval scheduling (shift or day) manufacturing operations with an emphasis on revising scheduling priorities. It is essentially an information system tool for the shop floor and if designed properly, it may be used as an advisory system for effective decision-making. However, in implementation MES faces several challenges including the proper software platform/architecture, integration within ERP or a stand-alone best-of-breed, amount and type of data/information to be exchanged with the MRP engine, and a user-centered interface for various layers of decision making. This paper will provide a detailed background on various technical, software, and organizational factors that the use of an MES implementation may impose upon the practitioner. Furthermore, and as a case study, it will discuss a systematic implementation strategy for MES at a high-tech company in California. The discussion of the critical success factors in implementation planning will hopefully be of value to both practitioners and researchers in similar projects.

Full textAbstract:
To compete in the global market, organisations have to ensure that their production is
synchronised with their other business activities. To achieve this, companies deploy a variety of solutions known as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). These systems provide the
bridge between control and business systems and are used by a variety of people across many business functions. Typical users range from production and maintenance personnel to engineers, finance and management. Sectors within the manufacturing industry have their own definitions of MES and these are based on their functional requirements and by the offerings of vendors in that sector. Thus, people differ in their understanding and definition of MES. To ensure common understanding of what functionalities or modules constitute MES, the Manufacturing Execution Systems Association (MESA) has defined MES to cover the following eleven areas:
Resource Allocation and Status
Operations/Detail Scheduling
Dispatching Production Units
Document Control
Data Collection/Acquisition
Labour Management
Quality Management
Process Management
Maintenance Management
Product Tracking and Genealogy
Performance Analysis
On examining the Manufacturing Execution Systems literature, it was realised that
functionalities and definitions exist but a standard approach and implementation
methodology is lacking. Thus, a framework was developed based on a literature study as
well as from experience within the MES environment. To ensure that the framework meets
the needs of organisations, two questionnaires were developed and sent to people from
various functions within large South African companies (and across divisions).
The results of the empirical study showed that for large organisations, i.e. organisations with
over 200 employees and an annual turnover in excess of R 40 million, some form of
manufacturing execution systems were used in all the companies surveyed. The most
common functionality deployed was Data Collection1Acquisition and the payback on these
systems was greater than two years. The respondents highlighted that MES governance and
an overall company wide strategy for MES implementation was non-existent or not enforced
across the group of companies. The respondents also indicated that the implementation was time consuming and that the projects usually exceeded the allocated budget and/or were late. The respondents were not unanimous on who was accountable for MES within the organisation and a quarter felt that this was unclear within the organisation.
When asked about the process that was followed in the selection of a vendor and solution,
the majority felt that the process was not well defined. However, respondents noted that
change management is used on all major projects and the outcome is generally successful.
All the companies outsource either some or all of their IT services and the relationship with
the vendor seems successful, as the rating received for MES support was very good.
The benefits of implementing Manufacturing Execution Systems are also being realised by
those companies that responded to the questionnaires. The overall impression is that over 75% of the respondents feel positive about the benefits and state that the benefits are
realised. The only major shortcoming is that information is not being shared across business
units and sites as half of the respondents felt that this was not happening in their companies.
The proposed MES Engagement and Implementation Framework that was tested with the
empirical study was subsequently updated. The framework suggests that all MES
implementations should begin with a review of the business and ICT strategy as these would
assist when defining the business requirements and the criteria for the selection of the
technology, vendor, and solution The business requirements should be ascertained and a
realistic business case should be developed. The project team should re-confirm the requirements once a vendor is selected, and, with the necessary change management, implement a portion of the solution as a pilot project. Once successful, then only should the entire solution be rolled out. Another parallel process should consider the outsourcing for the support phase. The entire process of implementing MES is cyclical as new requirements, additional functionality, and benefits tracking results in new projects.
In conclusion adopting this framework would result in better implementation and ensure that
the benefits are realised for all MES projects and that the solution is adequately supported
after implementation. A model for the implementation has also been proposed and it should be developed and tested further to guide MES implementation.Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

Sandvik Coromant is currently using a Manufacturing Execution System named GSS-II used for planning, preparation, and production in the process of manufacturing hard metal inserts. The system is using an own developed data type, ParameterStack, which is used for holding the data from the database to the client. ParameterStack was developed in the 90’s and has not been reconsidered since then. This thesis evaluates the data type and investigates if it is possible to implement a data type with better complexity. The ParameterStack was analyzed and parts that should be further investigated were identified. After that, the big O-notation for the selected parts was determined both in theory and by writing a program. This program was used to compare the data types. The complexity was determined for ParameterStack’s Add, AddFirst, Get, Delete, DeleteAll and update functions. A scenario where the client is starting up the system was also measured. The result shows that the operations Add, Get, Delete and Update have a complexity of O(log(n)) while the operations AddFirst and DeleteAll have a complexity of O(n). The conclusion was to replace a binary search tree in the algorithm with a hash table, namely CMap, which has a better complexity and is faster to use. The tests show that some operations will take half the time with the new data type.

Full textAbstract:
The most basic role of operations is to execute a strategy (Pycraft, Singh, Phihlela, Slack, Chambers & Johnston, 2010). The aim of this study is to make a contribution to operational performance by analysing the effectiveness of strategy execution at a confectionery manufacturing facility situated in the Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB). The primary objective of the study is to improve strategy execution at this manufacturing facility by investigating the influence of strategy; business processes; organisational factors; human resources; macro factors and leadership toward the success of strategy execution. The researcher gave consideration to whether this manufacturing facility measured on a strategy grid, is in a professional (champions’) league, headed towards a spectacular success; or headed towards being relegated and failure; or will it achieve somewhere in between like playing in the amateur (first division). The study was conducted in the quantitative paradigm. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and sourced instruments were used to measure the variables in the hypothesised model. The objective of the questionnaire was to analyse the respondent’s understanding of how strategy is executed, thereby identifying the possible areas that need to be improved. It was found that most managers disagreed that the business processes, organisational factors and human resources effectively support the execution of the operational strategy and that the average response from the managers were neutral in respect of effectiveness of strategy and leadership. The inference is that although this manufacturing facility has a fair strategy, execution thereof is below average. The researcher therefore deduced that the most appropriate section for the manufacturing facility is between the first division and relegation. The research findings indicate that the management team is not effectively executing the operational strategy. The management implication of this finding translates into lost opportunities. These lost opportunities probably contributed to the poor results reported by the plant director in his quarterly performance review. The empirical results are discussed and recommendations are proposed to improve strategy execution, complementing the manufacturing facility’s goals to deliver the best performance and ultimately realise their stated vision: “to be the best and most loved confectionary site in the world”.

Full textAbstract:
The recent development of smart connected devices, in this paper defined as cyberphysical systems (CPS), within the context of Industry 4.0 presents an opportunity for the manufacturing industry to reach new levels of efficiency. The introduction of novel technologies onto the factory floor will however affect the manufacturing execution systems (MES) currently deployed. There exists an uncertainty whether the existing MES are able to be integrated with these new technologies. This paper aims to identify and investigate the main areas affected by the integration of CPS and MES. The results, gained through scientific studies as well as interviews with segments of concerned industry and researchers, allowed us to identify six areas that will be affected. Out of the six areas, two have evolved as to be of most interest, namely architectural integration of systems and the human resource area, since change within the other four areas depend on them. We found that an integration of CPS and MES will not be possible unless two key factors are considered, a standardization of communication between systems and a knowledgeable, open minded and inter-communicating workforce.Den senaste tidens utveckling av smarta uppkopplade enheter, i texten benämnda cyberphysical systems, inom vad som kallas Industri 4.0 medför en möjlighet för effektivisering inom tillverkningsindustrin. Introduktionen av ny teknik inom tillverkningsindustrin kommer dock att påverka de befintliga produktionsstyrningssystemen och det råder idag en osäkerhet kring om en integration är möjlig. I denna uppsats är målet att identifiera och undersöka de områden som påverkas när smarta uppkopplade enheter introduceras i fabriker. Genom litteraturstudier, såväl som intervjuer med aktörer inom berörd industri och forskare, har vi identifierat sex påverkade områden. Utav dessa sex områden anser vi att två är utav störst intresse. Detta då utvecklingen inom dessa två områden kan ses som en förutsättning för utveckling inom de övriga områdena. De två områdena är systemintegration och personalresurser. Vi fann att en integration mellan smarta uppkopplade enheter och produktionsstyrningssystem endast är möjlig om två nyckelfaktorer beaktas, en standardisering av kommunikation mellan system och en välutbildad, öppen, arbetsstyrka.

Full textAbstract:
Artificial Intelligence arises in the manufacturing field very rapidly. Implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions and algorithms in the manufacturing environment is a well-known research field in academia. On the other hand, Manufacturing-Execution-System (MES) providers do not have a theoretical and pragmatic framework regarding the evaluation of MES functions in respect to their suitability for Artificial Intelligence. In order to be able to pre-evaluate whether a MES function shall be AI supported an intense literature research has been conducted. Academia shows few investigations regarding this field of research. Recent studies have been concerning about possible applications for MES functions in combination with AI. However, there is a lack of research in terms of pre-evaluating a MES function before embedding the function with AI support, since the development of AI solutions for MES functions without pre-evaluating those bears a waste of valuable resources. Therefore, the thesis work introduces an assessment framework consisting of decisive criteria and related indicators which describe qualitatively the suitability of AI for MES functions based on three criteria with related indicators. In addition, the researcher displays furthermore how the developed assessment framework can be used in order to assess the MES functions regarding their AI “readiness”. In order to cope the findings through the thesis work an inductive research approach has been applied. Existing literature in the fields of intelligent manufacturing, Manufacturing-Execution-Systems, machine learning, deep learning, intelligent manufacturing, digital twin, and assessment methodologies have been extensively studied in order to base the theoretical developed framework on grounded theory. A major issue was to focus the development of the assessment framework in harmony with academia and industry. The requirements for academia were met by providing profoundly investigation through the research fields. A case study was carried out in order to test the validity and reliability of the developed assessment framework for industry. The outcome of this thesis work was an assessment framework consisting of decisive criteria and related indicators when evaluating a MES function in respect to its AI suitability. Furthermore, an assessment checklist has been provided for the industry in order to be able to assess a MES function regards AI support in a quick and pragmatic manner. To generate a more generalizable assessment framework criteria and indicators have to be adapted, likewise testing the outcome of analogue and digital assessment methodologies will provide material for future studies.Successfully defended

Full textAbstract:
Context. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are information systems that manage manufacturing processes in factories. The execution of MES processes requires non-enterprise integration, which integrates MES applications, services, and automation systems within the factories. Objectives. We aim at developing a modeling approach that can be used to represent and execute MES processes. Having such an approach would help MES vendors to reduce the development cost to reconfigure systems, in order to achieve better business flexibility. Methods. In order to understand the state of the art of manufacturing modeling techniques, we perform a systematic literature review (SLR) in scientific article sources, including IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, Compendex, Inspec, and Springer Link. In consideration of the criteria in modeling and executing MES processes, we evaluate the selected process modeling techniques. Based on the result of evaluation, we propose a three-view-based approach to support process execution. We develop a prototype to prove that an MES process can be executed by following our approach. We also conduct semi-structured interviews in industry to validate whether our proposed approach achieves the objectives. Results. In the SLR, 24 primary studies are selected. Our analysis reveals that existing modeling techniques have limitations to enable process execution. To overcome the limitation, we propose a three-view-based approach, which has an MES process view, an abstract plant view to represent the structure of technical systems, and a mapping view to enable the communication between MES tasks and the technical systems. We develop a prototype as the implementation of our approach, which comprises: a graphical editor for the abstract plant view, a generator of message routes for the mapping view, and a typical MES process to be executed in the context of a warehouse management system. The semi-structured interviews we conducted with three industrial experts show positive feedback to use and generalize our approach in industry, in case comprehensive tools can be established. Conclusions. Compared to the existing modeling techniques, the three-view-based approach is specifically tailored toward process execution. Based on the feedback from industry, we conclude that applying our approach provides the possibility to achieve better reconfigurability and flexibility of MES.

Detta examensarbete har genomförts i VBG Groups maskinverkstad i Vänersborg, där kommunikation mellan maskiner och affärssystem genomförs manuellt. Ett förslag har tagits fram på hur ett Manufacturing Execution System, MES, ska implementeras i maskinverkstaden. Ett MES är ett system som kommunicerar automatiskt mellan maskiner och affärssystem. Det har genomförts intervjuer och studiebesök på ett företag som har ett MES installerat i sin produktion. Det har skickats ut en enkät till de som kommer att använda systemet i framtiden för att få deras synpunkter. Resultatet från enkäten gav en bild över vilken data som är viktigast att ha tillgång till för att underlätta det dagliga arbetet för de anställda. Utifrån denna enkät och studiebesöket på VBG har behov kunnat fastställas, som det slutgiltiga förslaget har baserats på. Förslaget är att implementera Siemens Mindsphere tillsammans med Prevas eLIPS. Genom att använda sig av både Mindsphere och eLIPS kan alla nuvarande fastställda behov uppfyllas, med möjligheten att kunna uppfylla framtida behov, vilket är möjligt tack vare systemens modularitet.This bachelor thesis has been carried out in VBG Group's machine workshop in Vänersborg, where the communication between machines and business systems is done manually.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 63).
The Vaccines & Diagnostics (V&D) division of Novartis recently developed a global automation strategy that highlights the need to implement a manufacturing execution system (MES). Benefits of an MES (electronic production records) include enhancing the compliance position of the organization, reducing production delays, and improving process flexibility; however, implementing an MES at global manufacturing sites presents unique logistical challenges that need to be overcome. The goal of this thesis is to investigate cold chain management as an expanded functionality for an MES. The thesis attempts to identify best practices for the strategic implementation of an MES in the management of cold chain vaccine products. While the concepts presented in this thesis are in the context of managing the cold chain for vaccine products, the best practices can be applied to a variety of cold chain management scenarios. In order to generate best practice recommendations for the strategic implementation of a cold chain management MES, a thorough understanding of the manufacturing process will need to be acquired. The first tool used to gain this understanding was value-stream mapping (VSM). VSM provided some insight into the current paper-based cold chain management system; however, the tool was not applicable for understanding the flow of information generated within the cold chain management system. Another tool was used to enable the organization to focus on the data generated by a process, the information product map (IP-Map). Current-state IP-Maps of the cold chain at the Rosia, Italy, site were generated and numerous areas for improving the data quality were identified. Future-state IP-Maps of the cold chain at the Rosia, Italy, site were generated to demonstrate how the implementation of a cold chain MES could improve the shortcomings of the current system. The future-state IP-Maps were based on underlying assumptions that directly lead to recommendations for the cold chain MES implementation. First, a unit of measurement smaller than lot size must be selected for tracking material data in the MES. Second, data capture technology for material entering or leaving cold storage must be integrated with the MES.

This report describes the tasks performed during the internship that took place at the
Lusiaves facilities, in which the knowledge acquired during the Master of Engineering
and Mobile Computing, namely with regard to the use of project management tools,
management code and knowledge acquired at the project development level, among
others, were crucial for this stage.
The internship took 12 months, and all development tasks are related with the
construction of a mobile application, with the objective to aid slaughterhouses in
their management. Throughout the years, with the evolution of techonologies, the
Lusiaves Group had the need to optimize most processes, which would allow for a
greater overview of all processes, and shared information between all companies of
the group. As such, this software was developed from scratch.
For the construction of this solution, a software was created for the mobile
environment, to be used by people that are within slaughterhouses, for those that
are receiveing products. This software was built specifically for Android devices,
even though this can be used in an iOS device. In this internship, two modules
were created for this application; the Reception module, with which a user would be
receiving products to insert in Reception Documents, throughout the usage of the
Picking feature; and the Production module, with which a user would start products
in Production Documents, throughout the usage of the same Picking feature. This
picking feature can successfully read both barcodes and QRCodes, without the
assistance of any external tools. This was made possible with the usage of the
MC3300k, the device that will be used in slaughterhouses.
In this report, most functionalities will be discussed, alongside some testing, and
the justification for the choices that were done will also be provided.

Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a database that defines and keeps track of information critical to the decisions of: operation flow, scheduling and dispatching within a manufacturing facility. This thesis concerns the design and implementation of an MES for semiconductor manufacturing, of which information related to: product flow definition, equipment management, recipe management, and WIP tracking are emphasized. To demonstrate the practicability of the proposed MES in real fab operation,an emulated environment, consisting of multiple production cells, is also constructed to emulate manufacturing activity of equipment and WIP flow within an designated fab. On top of the implemented MES and emulated environment, two supporting applications related to fab operation are also implemented: (i) an operational GUI that allows general facility setup and process definition, as well as runcardless operation; and (ii) an two-stage flow control mechanism that allows automatic dispatching of WIP, important to a fully automated fab operation.

A typical steel plant includes iron-making, steel-making and rolling mills from the upstream to the downstream. The rolling mill can be extended and segmented as hot strip mill and cold strip mill in a large scale steel plant. A steel plant contains lots of automation control systems and process information systems to pursuit process efficiency and production optimization. The control systems and information systems are segmented based on physical model in ANSI/ISA-88 standard, and ranged up the enterprise-wide and down to each process. It is impossible to construct only a stand-alone Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to cope with the very complicated Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. An adequate MES should interface information systems in the plant seamlessly, and eliminate the duplicated pattern functions which exist elsewhere. To build up an MES model for a steel plant, it is essential to gather all MES-related structure elements in the information systems as the first step, and conceive additional MES’ structure elements as the second step. The first step makes our approach different from the traditional stand-alone MES system development methodology. In this thesis, the MES is decomposed from the view points of ‘Structure View’ and ‘Behavior View’ to obtain Structure Elements and Behaviors. The MES can be fully described based on Structure Elements and Behaviors. Our modeling approach defines a ‘Steel Plant MES Architecture Description Language’ in the beginning, and fabricates a ‘Steel Plant MES Reference Model’ then. ‘Steel Plant MES Reference Model’ includes a set of Architecture Hierarchy Diagram, Structure Element Diagram, Structure Element Service Diagram, Structure Element Link Diagram, Structure Behavior Coalescence Diagram, and Sequence Diagram. This reference model has been introduced to set up a companywide integrated MES in a brand new steel plant to validate the model.

The competition among the industry is fiercer and fiercer. For manufacture industry, the overall output is a very important topic, and manufacturing management is an indispensable ring. If the management is not good, even the most advanced technology might not consolidate the company’s position in competitive environment. Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is the key point of manufacture industry to enhance their competitiveness. However, current systems still rely on manual operation. The existing system interfacecontained many drawbacks including irregular display content, complicated procedure, inconsistent design, as well as incomplete information feedback, which would produce negative effects inclusive of the following issues：operate mistakes easily, increase loading ofmemory, prolonging of operation time, and rise of psychological pressure. So it still has large room to improve the interface of MES. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to study and detect the problems of MES user interface and implement some improvements, as well as verify the effectiveness. This study would study and detect the problems of MES user interface for manufacture industry from the perspective of user interface design. In addition to gathering current samples of MES operational interface used in the industry and reviewing relevant literature, regarding interface design. Will develop improved user interface of MES from both theory and practice, and implemented in the case company. This tudy followed some procedures. Firstly to analyze problems, list the working procedures of MES interface for the case company and record the operating process steps and the operation time for performance comparison of interface design before and after the improvement. Then, to apply human interface design guidelines including guidelines for data display, guidelines for data input, and guidelines for causing users attention, as well as production management practices - visualmanagement and color management, to improve the system interface. Finally, to verify the effectiveness of improved MES user interface on operating the process steps and operation time. The results indicated a significant improvement of the operating process steps and the operation time after redesigning the MES user interface. The results of this study showed that the use of user interface design guidelines and visual and color management techniques to redesign the user interface was suitable for MES of the case company. It is really helpful for on-site operators to speed up operation time and reduce operation steps and mistakes.

The Manufacturing Execution System (MES), the system software that possesses the properties of integration and coordination, faces a severe challenge. Because of the relative changes of the internal compositions and/or external conditions, and the increasing efficiency requirements, the relationships of trust, synchronization, coordination, and cooperation of the original system will be affected or even destroyed. Therefore, this work bases on the system’s standpoint, and from the aspects of Evaluation Metrics, Adaptive Design, and Pattern Retrieval to concern about the adaptability of the system. Besides, by each stage of the system life cycle, we respectively explore the requirements and properties of these three aspects. For Adaptive Design, we propose an intellectual system kernel and define such a kernel to be responsible for the communication between different formats of message interfaces in the system. Therefore, we are able to solve the problems that CIM Framework encounters, for example the lacking of experiences and knowledge about the system model, and the inflexibility to message exchange and modification. For the components of such a kernel, we apply the multi-policy aggregation to encapsulate the algorithm of each policy; therefore, we are able to remain the consistency of the external interface of the kernel as once other objects is changed or modified. As to inner policies, some proper modifications will be done, such as adopting different degrees of history logging and different levels of failure recovery; hence, the risks that may happen during testing and verification can be greatly reduced. In addition, for the interface messages, we adopt XML ontology that provides the flexibility of the efficient modification to the interface messages of different stages to fulfill the requirements of system environmental changes. During the process of object-orientated design and development, we take Evaluation Metrics to define the design attributes, such as encapsulation, coupling, cohesion, etc. to an object or among objects; and then define the relationship between the performance indices of the relative software and the operation of the system schemes, such as expandability, modifiability, robustness, etc. Referring to different stages of the life cycle, we eliminate the conflicts between different software in the system by applying the fuzzy weighting adjustment to the indices. Then through comparing the performances of different generations, these indices serve as very important references for each object in the system when the design is changed or the operation schemes are modified. For Behavior Verification, we mainly apply the similarity analysis to the history of system usage according to the properties and current classification. After grouping, we are able to extract the behavior patterns. These behavior patterns can be saved as the references for subsequent classification. Moreover, the maturity of objects is established by the credit evaluation function from the participation of objects in these behavior patterns. Further, combining the maturity with other evaluation indices can serve as references for reliability of each object in the system. Briefly, a MES that can effectively refer to system indices, has a built-in system kernel and interfaces which possess adaptability, and is able to accumulate the behavior patterns of experience from past generations, then this MES is able to be changed or modified under certain time limitations and still remain certain degrees of stability and reliability to fulfill the requirements of adaptability during life cycle generation.

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a system that companies use to measure and control critical production activities. As the installed base of MES installations grows, claims that MES does not have a positive impact on the day-to-day operations within manufacturing companies are more common. Documented results and anecdotal evidence are also now available. Due to the pace at which this market has grown, more and more vendors and implementation partners are entering the market. Organizations that wish to successfully implement a MES solution need to be well informed and educated about the intricacies of software implementations. Organizations need to ensure that they are in control of the implementation and not at the mercy of the software vendors and implementation partners for success. Organizations need to plan the whole implementation process thoroughly and top level management need to drive the initiatives within the organization to ensure success.Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2007.

Bill Gates speaks in his「BUSINESS@THE SPEED OF THOUGHT」：「If the 1980s were about quality and the 1990s were about reengineering, then the 2000s will be about velocity.」IT is not only a tool, but also an indispensable part in our lives. In pursuit of speed, "integration" becomes more important. Lacking of effective integration of resources will result in incapability to provide efficient reaction. In recent years corporates are linked together in the supply chain system. Especially in IC, LCD and other high-tech industries, due to short products life cycles, limited lead-time, strict quality control, complex manufacturing process,traditional ERP system which was originally designed for financial and accounting purpose can no longer compete. Therefore many industries start to utilize MES to address the demand of production management and provide customers with the accuracy of the information. The thesis discusses the process, factors and the result of utilizing MES in A company, which provides industries a case study to avoid risks of operation while implementing MES. The thesis will help to increase industries'' confidence while implementing MES.

It’s a common trend that an enterprise implement all kinds of applicative software in order to make working operation efficient and quicker. For example, implementing enterprise resource(ERP), supply chain management(SCM), product data management(PDM) and manufacturing execution system(MES). The MES is implemented in the business plant floor to collect information of shop floor and to answer production situation actually. It is also an operation core of business. Therefore, the research will provide a suitable implementation methodology, based on characteristics of system. We also propose some key performance index(KPI) for evaluation the performance after implementing the MES. AHP methodology and FAHP are adopted to evaluate the signification of each index.

Enterprise information systems have been widely used in firms to gain competitiveness. A Manufacturing execution system (MES), a virtual executor between production planning layer and physical production layer, is the key factor to fulfill customer order. It coordinates shop floor activities to match the production plan. However, shop floor condition is uncertain and fully dynamic. This research illustrates and implements an error detection and diagnosis mechanism for MESs, and introduces an exception handling process from an error prediction perspective. This mechanism helps operators to handle/control the shop floor in an uncertain environment and quickly handles equipment exceptions based on the knowledge of domain experts. An artificial intelligence mechanism, Bayesian network, is applied as an error detection engine in this research. System reliability and information transformation method are merged in the mechanism as well. Finally, a physical manufacturing cell is modeled to illustrate this mechanism.

A network-based monitor system and a manufacturing execution system for press machines are presented in this thesis. General user can obtain press machines' real-time operation status and statistical rankings. The system can provide manager to make a rapid and accurate decision. The architecture of this system consists of Windows XP Professional, simulator, PLC and web server (Apache, PHP and Ajax).The back end of this system links to MySQL database. This system will conduct the quality ranking for press machines by calculating abnormal number, abnormal time, yield, machine utilization and capacity utilization. The status of all press machines in the factory can also be obtained through statistics of press machines, such as yield, machine utilization and capacity utilization. In addition, through the quality ranking of press machines, different target can be yield assigned to different machines. To optimize factory yield machines with better ranking can be more excessively used and ones with worse ranking need to repair and maintenance. The average transmission rate of a simulator is 12.8 Bytes per second. MySQL database records 17820 transactions for one day and the size is about 500 KBytes. The web server on-line produces statistical data each day and maps a chart. The average time is about 5 seconds to respond the request of clients. It needs about 50 seconds to analyze 12 days data of 6 press machines. However, the average response time depends on different data size.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to develop a RMCS (Remote Monitoring & Control System) of the press machine with DSS (decision support system) and a scheduling program method online for users. This system can provide each individual press’s detail information through website technology, and help the manager to make decision quickly and correctly. Therefore RMCS is already converted to the prototype of MES (Manufacturing Execution System). The operation system is Microsoft Windows XP Professional. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is combined with MySQL database to form the needed software system. This system can then enhance the production efficiency through internet. The system revises the formula of healthy index for press machine. Through the data of the error message history and the definition of the health index, we can reschedule the production line in the factory. Therefore, the healthier press will not overwork, while the poor condition press can be scheduled to be repaired. In all, this system can provide online detail information to schedule the whole factory and therefore promote the production efficiency.

The manufacturing execution system possesses a very important status in the modern manufacturing industry because it acts a core role to engage enterprise and the factory. Information from the factory via this system is to support the decision-making for the business manager, and the instructions from them also go through by the system. At present, the discussion about the information system is all about the enterprise or the production work and the relative technology aspect. However, an information system’s truly value lies in its use, and the user is the key to effectively perform the system function. The range of users for the system is quite broad and only if the system supports all its user can it successfully display its true value. Our research model is based on widely used technology acceptance model and task-technology fit model to figure out the user acceptance and satisfaction for the manufacturing execution system. Data were collected from a leading enterprise in the world, and the findings discovered that the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use have the strong effect on the user satisfaction. It also shows that such a huge scene control system as manufacturing execution system, the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use about the system is much important than the task-technology fit of the system. Therefore, one should emphasize on whether it is easy to operate and can promote the job control for the users on the system design and the support aspect.

The enterprise might integrate information system data or interface, or conduct functional integration with similar systems. Whatever type of information system the enterprise integrates, its ultimate goal is to enhance information transparency, reduce duplicate data, avoid data inconsistency, and minimize costs of system operation and maintenance. This study, based on the integration projects of manufacturing execution systems on business heterogeneity, probes into some problems in the process of the project execution and provides some solutions, further explores the critical factors influencing the system execution project. This study adopts the single case study method, analyzing an electronic products assembly factory. The researchers will participate in observing the system integration project, and classifying and analyzing secondary data to achieve the purpose of this study. After case data analysis, this study discovered that problems such as a sense of uncertainty, user rejection, and information technology bottlenecks caused by the new system might arise during system integration. To resolve the above issues, critical factors are as following: combining the project plan with business strategy, seeking support from executives, and improving information technology capability to develop system integration projects smoothly. This paper recommends the IT project manager to get the identification and support from executives of user department, to communicate with users continuously and to provide efficient services in order to obtain the success of system integration.
