Elliott, Riley F. "Manufacturing Execution System (MES) An Examination of Implementation Strategy." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2013. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/997.
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:
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.<br>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. A proposal has been made on how a Manufacturing Execution System will be implemented in the machine workshop. MES is a system that communicates automatically between machines and business systems. Interviews have been conducted along with a visit to a company that has an MES installed in its production. A survey has been sent out to employees that will use the system in the future to get their opinion. The results from the survey provided a better understanding of which data is most important to have access to, in order to ease the daily work for the employees. The survey and the company visit to VBG h§as made it possible to determine the needs, on which the final proposal has been based on. The proposal is to implement Siemens Mindsphere together with Prevas eLIPS. By using both Mindsphere and eLIPS, all current needs can be fulfilled, with the ability to meet future needs, thanks to the modularity of the systems.

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.<br>Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

Previous issue date: 2016-12-22<br>CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Sistemas de informação têm sido introduzidos progressivamente nos ambientes de manufatura. Isso advém da necessidade de captar dados, otimizar processos e gerar informações de maneira eficiente, inclusive em tempo real das operações produtivas, visando facilitar a tomada de decisão de gerentes e analistas. O Manufacturing Execution System (MES), denominado Sistema de Controle da Manufatura, pode auxiliar as empresas a captar dados e gerar informações, identificar e melhorar seus resultados. Entretanto, o simples acesso a um sistema de informação não garante vantagem. Portanto, para obter resultados consistentes é necessário alinhamento a jusante e a montante entre estratégias e táticas às práticas de produção com os sistemas de informação disponíveis no chão-de-fábrica. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa buscou
responder ao problema de pesquisa como determinar o foco das funcionalidades que compõem os pilares de um MES para à satisfação dos objetivos estratégicos da manufatura?; sendo o MES representado pelos pilares e suas funcionalidades e estratégia da manufatura representada pelas prioridades de competência da manufatura. O objetivo geral consistiu em elaborar uma modelagem que possa distribuir importâncias entre as funcionalidades que compõem os pilares de um MES para aplicações industrias. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi a modelagem qualiquantitativa e as técnicas de coleta de dados foram entrevistas, aplicação da Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) e escala Likert, e grupo focal. A modelagem desenvolvida possibilita identificar um vetor de importância entre funcionalidades e um quadrante entre aplicação e melhoria destes vetores. Com isso, permite que as empresas que possuem ou buscam implantar sistemas MES e aplicadores de sistemas MES possam identificar quais elementos de medição e controle da manufatura mais representam os objetivos estratégicos da manufatura; além de contribuir ao avanço em pesquisas acerca de MES e estratégia da manufatura. Esta modelagem foi aplicada em duas empresas que datam o uso do MES de onze e oito anos, com produto e processos diferentes. Os resultados obtidos foram considerados consistentes e representativos à realidade das empresas.<br>Information systems have been progressively introduced in manufacturing environments. This is due to the need to capture data, optimize processes and generate information efficiently, including real-time production operations, to facilitate decision-making by managers and analysts. The Manufacturing Execution System (MES), called the Manufacturing Control System, can help companies capture data and generate information, identify and improve their results. However, simple access to an information system does not assure advantage. Therefore, to achieve consistent results, downstream and upstream alignment between strategies and tactics is required for production practices with the information systems available on the factory floor. In this sense, this research sought to answer the research problem how to determine the focus of the features that make up the core functions of a MES for the satisfaction of the strategic objectives of the manufacture; being the MES represented by the core functions and its features and manufacturing strategy represented by the competitive capabilities. The overall objective was to elaborate a model that can distribute importance between the features that make up the core functions of a MES for industrial applications. The research method used was qualitativequantitative modeling and the techniques of data collection were interviews, application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Likert scale, and focus group. The developed model allows identifying a vector of importance between features and a quadrant between application and improvement of these vectors. Thereby, it allows companies that have or are look up to deploy MES systems and MES system applicators to identify which elements of manufacturing measurement and control most represent the strategic objectives of manufacturing; besides contributing to the advancement in research on MES and manufacturing strategy. This model was applied in two companies that date the use of the MES of eleven and eight years, with diferente product and processes. The results obtained were considered consistent and representative to the reality of the companies.

Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management; and, (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Chemical Engineering; in conjunction with the Leaders for Global Operations Program at MIT, 2011.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 63).<br>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.<br>by Todd Andrew Waldron.<br>S.M.<br>M.B.A.

Por fim, os resultados observados foram analisados e discutidos, e as conclusões apontam que o uso do sistema MES pode contribuir ou possui potencial para reduzir os custos e também para aumentar o controle da gestão. No entanto, foi possível observar também que a implantação de sistemas deve ser acompanhada de mudanças de processos e de cultura, que propiciem de fato a redução de custos nas empresas. Foram propostas novas possibilidades para que seja possível a continuidade de outros estudos neste sentido, de forma que as organizações possam explorar novas possibilidades, aperfeiçoando os sistemas ou desenvolvendo mudanças em seus processos.<br>The dissertation describes the study on major features achieved from the perspective of cost management within discrete manufacturing industries, especially considering a possible integration between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems with so-called Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).

By using the multiple case study method, several data regarding MES implementation and also its impacts on cost decrease were gathered within three enterprises, and therefore used for debating some standpoints from several managers and verifying whether the assumptions made throughout the article are confirmed. Finally, the results obtained along this study were analyzed and discussed, and such findings lead to idea that MES system use can concur or has the potential to decrease costs and also enhance the management control. However, it was also possible to behold that systems implementation should be followed by a culture and processes changes as well, that surely provide cost cutting among companies. It was proposed some other improvement possibilities in order to make possible the development of new efforts in this regard, in a way that enterprises are able to explore new paths, enhancing the systems or even developing changes in their processes.

Full textAbstract:
Despite decades of automation initiatives, manual assembly still represents one of the most cost-effective approaches in scenarios with high product variety and complex geometry. It represents 50% of total production time and 20% of total production cost. Understanding human performance and its impact in the assembly line is key in order to improve the overall performance of an assembly line. Along this thesis work, by studying the deviations occurring in the line, it is aimed to understand how human workers are affected by certain functioning aspects of the assembly line. To do so, three different influence factors have been chosen, and then observed its impact in human performance: i. How past events occurring in the line affect the current action of the worker. ii. How do scheduled stops affect the current action of the worker. iii. How does theoretical cycle time affect the performance of the worker. In order to observe these influence relationships, it has been used data gathered in the shop floor from SCANIA's Manufacturing Execution System (MES). By applying methods of Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) data has been indexed and the analyzed providing the necessary results for the study. Finally, from the results shown, it can be inferred that variability on the functioning of the line does have an impact on human performance overall. However, due the complexity of the manufacturing system, impact in human performance might not be as regular as initially thought.<br>Trots decennier av automatiseringsinitiativ utgör manuell montering fortfarande en av de mest kostnadseffektiva metoderna i scenarier med hög produktsortiment och komplex geometri. Den representerar 50% av den totala produktionstiden och 20% av den totala produktionskostnaden. Att förstå mänsklig prestanda och dess inverkan i monteringsledningen är nyckeln för att förbättra den totala prestandan hos en monteringslinje. Utöver detta avhandlingsarbete, genom att studera avvikelserna som uppstår i linjen, syftar det till att förstå hur mänskliga arbetstagare påverkas av vissa fungerande aspekter av monteringslinjen. För att göra det har tre olika inflytningsfaktorer valts och sedan observerat dess inverkan i mänsklig prestation: i. Hur tidigare händelser som uppstår i linjen påverkar arbetarens nuvarande åtgärder. ii. Hur påverkar planerade stopp arbetstagarens nuvarande åtgärder. iii. Hur påverkar teoretisk cykeltid arbetarens prestation. För att observera dessa inflytningsrelationer har det använts data som samlats in i butiksgolvetfrån SCANIAs Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Genom att tillämpa metoder för Knowledge Discovery i Database (KDD) har data indexerats och analyseras vilket ger de nödvändiga resultaten för studien. Slutligen kan det framgå av de visade resultaten att variationen i linjens funktion har en inverkan på den mänskliga prestationen övergripande. På grund av tillverkningssystemets komplexitet kan emellertid effekten i mänsklig prestanda inte vara så regelbunden som ursprungligen tänkt.

As entrevistas junto às áreas da empresa mostraram a importância da rastreabilidade de seus produtos, concluindo que esta dimensão é considerada uma prioridade competitiva da manufatura, pois permite, em tempo real, saber a situação de um produto no decorrer de seu processo<br>Abstract: This work investigates the contributions of MES - Manufacturing Execution System - for improve the competitive priorities of manufacturing. We present a theoretical framework on the information technologies and its business importance, the contributions of organizational factors for implementation MES as well as the main concepts and applications of that IT tool. The built theoretical framework was decisive to subsidize the research performance in the studied company since the beginning of MES adoption in 1999 until its conclusion in 2008. It was verified that MES contributed significantly to the manufacturing related to improvement cost, quality, flexibility, conformity and reliability. It was concluded that MES improved information quality generated in the plant floor, that is, information become it fast, standardized, reliable and precise. When integrated to the ERP of the company, MES filled out a gap, offering information to others functional areas of the organization. The interviews, conducted in businesses areas on the company, showed the importance of products tracking, and MES implementation was decisive to improve that issue, concluding that dimension is considered a competitive priority of the manufacture<br>Doutor

Full textAbstract:
L’interopérabilité entre applications d’entreprise est une problématique à multiples facettes. Pour y répondre, nous avons investigué l’alignement sémantique des connaissances sur les processus et objets métier supportés par les différentes applications d’entreprise. Ces connaissances sont souvent hétérogènes selon les métiers et implémentées de manières diverses, engendrant ainsi des conflits sémantiques dues aux différentes interprétations des acteurs. Nous étudions l’identification de correspondances et/ou de conflits sémantiques entre ces connaissances, plus particulièrement dans le domaine des applications de gestion d’atelier (MES – Manufacturing Execution System). Nous proposons une démarche de formalisation de ces connaissances sous la forme d’un référentiel standardisé conforme à la norme ISO 62264 : "le référentiel MES", ainsi qu’une démarche d’enrichissement de ce référentiel par alignements successifs avec d’autres normes et/ou référentiels. Nous définissons ainsi formellement un méta-modèle qui décrit les relations sémantiques entre les éléments des référentiels à aligner, et des règles de contrôle sémantique pour garder la cohérence du référentiel MES et sa conformité au standard. Enfin, nous présentons une démarche d’alignement des besoins client sur le référentiel MES pour aider à la mise en œuvre des applications d’entreprise. Ce travail de recherche a été réalisé dans le cadre d’un projet de Recherche et Développement soutenu par le cluster économique EDIT de la région Rhône-Alpes, et sur ses résultats ont été utilisés dans une nouvelle offre de « MES à la carte »<br>Interoperability between enterprise applications is a multifaceted problem. In response, we have investigated the semantic alignment of business process and object knowledge supported by enterprise applications. This knowledge is heterogeneous across business and is implemented in different ways, generating semantic conflicts due to different interpretations of the actors. We study the identification of correspondences and/or conflicts between semantic knowledge, especially in the field of Manufacturing Execution System (MES). We propose an approach to formalize knowledge as a standardized repository ISO 62264 compliant: the "MES repository", and an approach to enhance the MES repository by successive alignments with other standards and/or repositories. Thus, we formally define a meta-model that describes the semantic relationships between elements of the aligned repositories, and semantic control rules to keep MES repository consistency and its ISO compliance. Finally, we present an approach to align customer needs with the MES repository, in order to assist the implementation of enterprise applications. This PhD thesis was conducted as part of a research and development project supported by the economic Cluster Edit (Rhône-Alpes, France), and its results have been used in the new proposal “on demand MES”

The effective use of information system MES (Manufacturing Execution System) in the food company is the main topic of this master's thesis. The modularly built system provides valuable support of the production process on operational level. The thesis concentrates on the analysis of already implemented standard solution in the company's factory. Main goal is to propose expansion of the functioning area to the already existing solution, aiming for effective use of energy resources. It was necessary, in order to be able to achieve the goal, to get familiar with the complex corporate IT/ICT construction in alignment with the company's energy concept. The proposed solution is leaning on application of internal MES project methodology, leading to exact specification of energy component in the factory production frame. The thesis conclusions, besides the proposed solution itself should serve as an argument about the efficiency of starting MES system in other production factories of the company.

Previous issue date: 2011-06-21<br>A necessary condition for the economic efficiency of modern plants is the ability to adjust - as quickly and effectively as possible - the performance of manufacturing process for demand request decisions. In this sense, the research emphasized the importance of understanding the best practices in Information Technology (IT) and the trade scenario of solutions using shopfloor real data in virtual environments for simulation and many achieved benefits. The highlights of this research focused on exploring the collaboration (practice of skills for the achievement of mutually beneficial results) between the MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and the digital manufacturing systems (also called virtual manufacturing systems) of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), in a scenario where the manufacturing processes require high flexibility, reliability and lower delivery times, extensive combination of variants and lower life-cycle of products. The research - in an exploratory and descriptive way, which identified the available knowledge on the subject more sharply between the years 2006 and 2010 - was grounded in the practices of world-renowned companies and institutions and considered opinions and evaluations of renowned researchers and professionals with expertise in initiatives to support the use of MES solutions data in systems of digital manufacturing of PLM to manufacturing processes planning. As a result of the studied scenarios and covered concepts, the research has consolidated a "diagram of information collaboration", with the aim of providing better decision choices within the framework of shop-floor project, processes planning and production management. The research also concluded that the MES systems may have their value extended if integrated within the characteristics of functionalities of the PLM concept. It also brought some recommendations and limitations on the portability of information, commented on the learned lessons and suggestions for future tasks that include the BPM (Business Process Management).<br>Uma condição necessária para a eficiência econômica das fábricas modernas é a habilidade de adequar - de forma mais rápida e melhor possível - o desempenho dos processos de manufatura às decisões de solicitação de demanda. Nesse sentido, ressaltou-se a importância de compreender as melhores práticas de Tecnologia da Informação (TI) e o cenário comercial de soluções que utilizam dados reais de chão-de-fábrica em ambientes virtuais de simulação e os vários benefícios obtidos. O destaque desta pesquisa ficou por conta de explorar a colaboração (prática de competências para a obtenção de resultados mutuamente vantajosos) entre os sistemas MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) e os sistemas de manufatura digital (também chamada fábrica virtual) do PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), num cenário onde os processos de manufatura impõem alta flexibilidade, confiança e menores tempos de entrega, ampla combinação de variantes e menores ciclos de vida de produtos. A pesquisa - de forma exploratória e descritiva, que identificou o conhecimento disponível sobre o tema mais acentuadamente entre os anos de 2006 e 2010 - foi embasada nas práticas de instituições e empresas mundialmente reconhecidas, e considerou opiniões e avaliações de profissionais e pesquisadores renomados nas iniciativas que apóiam a utilização de dados das soluções MES em sistemas de manufatura digital do PLM para o planejamento de processos de manufatura. Como resultado dos cenários estudados e conceitos abordados, a pesquisa consolidou um diagrama de colaboração da informação , com o propósito de auxiliar melhores tomadas de decisão no âmbito do projeto de chão-de-fábrica, planejamento de processos e gerência da produção. A pesquisa ainda concluiu quanto os sistemas MES podem ter seu valor ampliado se integrados dentro das características de funcionalidades do conceito PLM, trouxe algumas recomendações e limitações sobre a portabilidade das informações, comentou sobre as lições aprendidas e apresentou sugestões de trabalhos futuros que inclui o gerenciamento de processos de negócios BPM (Business Process Management).

Previous issue date: 2014-08-28<br>CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This research present the use of MES System in the systematic application of
Knowledge Management in an electronic product manufacturing company, implanted
in an environment of constantly increasing competitiveness with technological
innovations that generate instability in a market with life cycle of products and
services ever getting smaller, with more demanding consumers, unstable demands
and small profitability, that characterize a behavior of complex and adaptive
organization. Maximization of profitability occurs fundamentally through the reduction
of manufacturing cost, which represents, in general, 20% of the final cost of the
product, where the remaining relates to components and raw materials. The
manufacturing costs can be reduced through the elimination of losses and
rationalization of flow of the production process, with application of knowledge
management in achieving improvement and innovations for necessary adaptation
ahead of internal (industrial) and external (market) changes. It’s a fact that, the
assembling of most parts of electronic products involve a process of various stages,
the purpose of the research was the bottleneck stage of the process which relies on
resources of significant values and highly skilled operators. Even with all its
significance to the production chain many weaknesses were identified which were
not perceived based on realities of the past. These points were corrected with
application of the proposed methodology and the results prove the relevance of the
MES tool for development and consolidation of the organizational competitiveness.<br>Essa pesquisa mostra o uso do Sistema Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) na
aplicação sistêmica da Gestão do Conhecimento em uma empresa de manufatura
de produtos eletrônicos, inserida em um ambiente de competitividade crescente com
inovações tecnológicas frequentes. Esse quadro gera instabilidade no mercado
devido ao fato de produtos e serviços apresentarem ciclo de vida cada vez menores,
de consumidores serem mais exigentes, de haver demandas instáveis num contexto
de pequena rentabilidade, o que caracteriza um comportamento de organizações
complexas e adaptativas. A maximização da rentabilidade ocorre fundamentalmente
através da redução do custo de manufatura, pois esse item representa, em geral,
20% do custo final do produto, ao passo que o restante refere-se a componentes e
insumos commodities. Tal redução apresenta como pressupostos a eliminação de
perdas e a racionalização do fluxo do processo produtivo, com aplicação da gestão
do conhecimento na obtenção de melhorias e inovações para as adaptações
necessárias diante das mudanças internas (fabril) e externas (mercado). Em
decorrência de a montagem de grande parte dos produtos eletrônicos apresentarem
um fluxo de processos com várias etapas, o objeto da pesquisa foi a fase gargalo do
processo que conta com os recursos de valores expressivos e operadores mais
capacitados. Mesmo com toda essa significância para a cadeia produtiva
identificaram-se muitos pontos frágeis, antes despercebidos, com base na realidade
anterior. Tais pontos foram corrigidos com a aplicação da metodologia proposta,
com os resultados comprovando a relevância do uso da ferramenta MES para o
desenvolvimento e consolidação da competitividade da organização.

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.<br>Dissertation (MEng (Industrial Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2007.<br>Industrial and Systems Engineering<br>unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
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:
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.<br><p>Successfully defended</p>

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 facilities need control for sustainability and longevity. If no control is provided for the manufacturing facility, then chaos can be unleashed causing much alarm. Therefore, it is essential to understand how control can be utilized to support the manufacturing facility and the corresponding manufacturing processes. This thesis will walk through a tool to help provide control and that tool is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Thisthesis will start with research to defineMESand its implications, then will work into the development of MES from the ground up. The design process willbe systematic and utilize the Collective System Design (CSD) approach with the aiding tool of the axiomatic decomposition map. Then examples will be given for the implementation and execution of the decomposition map as it relates to inventory and traceability. Finalwork will show the 7 FRs ofmanufacturing and how they are applicable to MES with given examples. Throughout the entire design and implementation, the initial hypothesis will be evaluated to determine if MES can provide the control requiredfor a robust manufacturing facility.

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.<br>Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2007.

A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering.
Johannesburg, 2016<br>This research report addresses the question: Is BRM (Benefits Realisation Management) a valid method for MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) development and implementation?
While the technical aspect of implementing MES is standardised and well documented, a clear approach to tackling the activity on a company specific level is missing. Literature shows that there is ambiguity in where ownership should lie and further details common organisational problems that companies experience. Limited guidance is given to how these problems can be tackled.
An evaluative case study is conducted at the WMMEA (WEIR Minerals Middle East and Africa) machine shop to determine whether BRM methodology is able to improve the MES system and its implementation by adding a previously unexplored structure to the undertaking. The research method focuses on two aspects of the case. The initiative, where the researcher aims to identify whether BRM methodology is able to specify a complete set of requirements for MES implementation. The outcomes, where the researcher quantifies the benefits gained from the implementation.
This report describes an adapted BRM methodology and the outcomes of its application. These outcomes consist of the issues faced by the company, the enablers developed to overcome these issues, and the benefits derived from MES.
The BRM methodology is shown to be valid in the case of WMMEA by the confirmed realisation of predicted benefits. The business objectives achieved are an improved on-time delivery to customers and an increased part value.<br>MT2017

How to upgrade and improve the management mode of internal operation effectively is the enterprises’ primary task to be dealt with.
General enterprises tend to import the ERP system, but modular ERP systems are lower application for the traditional manufacturing. However, the program of customized modification is high cost and risk of failure, coupled with the factors of the low E degree of internal staffs, enterprises eventually choose traditional management mode. However, traditional management mode can’t control personnel, equipments, materials and costs effectively, or further provide the just-in-time management reports.
The study focuses on the characteristics of the traditional manufacturing, to explore how the IoT technology combined with MES system via the concept of a rapid response system establishes an applicable Internet of things using scenarios. The collection of information through IoT technology integrates application and feedback in the MES system to generate a report. Finally, this study develops a set of information system of the IoT in current management needs combined with MES through the actual case of the traditional mold manufacturing execution to find out the applicable situations and conditions in exploring the promoting improvement and management effectiveness.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Física apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia<br>A manufatura hoje em dia é muito diferente do que era. Henry Ford uma vez disse que as pessoas poderiam ter os seus carros na cor que quisessem, desde que essa cor fosse preto. Esta citação resume perfeitamente o modo de pensar dos anos 20. Henry Ford foi um pioneiro da gestão industrial, tendo implementado de uma forma bem sucedida o conceito de primeira linha de montagem, com uma aversão à mudança algo paradoxal. Após anos de produção do Model T, ele acabaria por dar o braço a torcer e lançar o Model A. No entanto, a sua inércia custou-lhe a posição de líder de mercado: a Ford seria então ultrapassada pela Chevrolet e pela Plymouth. Esta pequena história apenas nos mostra que existe apenas uma coisa que interessa no que diz respeito à manufatura: estar à frente da competição. No entanto, é muito fácil falar. Gerir uma empresa é um desafio tremendo. Por exemplo, um dos maiores problemas encontrados é a gestão da própria complexidade da sua infraestrutura. Henry Ford tinha bem esta noção. Ele sabia que produzir dois modelos de carros iria aumentar significativamente a complexidade da sua organização. De facto, ele estava tão preocupado com este facto, que acabou por adquirir as minas, os caminhos de ferro e os barcos que abasteciam a fábrica da Ford. Todo este tremendo esforço para manter a cadeia de valor sob controlo sem ter de usar fornecedores externos. Os desafios que Henry Ford enfrentou na primeira metade do século XX para manter a sua competitividade ainda são válidos hoje. Infelizmente, a magnitude do desafio aumentou exponencialmente.<br>Manufacturing today is very different from what it once was. Henry Ford once said that people could have their cars in any colour of their choosing – as long as that colour was black. This quote perfectly summarizes the mind-set of the 1920’s. Henry Ford was an industrial management pioneer, having successfully implemented the assembly line concept, with a somewhat paradoxical aversion to change. After years of Model T production, he would eventually come around and release the Model A. However, his inertia would cost him the position of leading player of the industry: Ford would then be outrun by Chevrolet and Plymouth. This small history lesson only comes to show that there is only one thing that matters when it comes to manufacturing: being competitive. Being competitive means to stay ahead of your competition. This was exactly what Henry Ford failed to do when it came to the Model A. However, this is easier said than done. Managing a company is a tremendous challenge. For instance, one of the main problems organizations struggle with is handling the complexity of their infrastructure. Henry Ford was well aware of this. He knew that producing two car models would significantly increase the complexity of his organization. In fact, he was so concerned with this, that he ended up owning the ore mines, railways and boats that supplied the Ford plant. All this tremendous effort to keep the supply chain under control without having to rely on external suppliers.The ordeals that Henry Ford was facing in the first half of the 20th century to stay competitive are still valid today. Unfortunately, the magnitude of the challenge has increased exponentially.

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.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>資訊管理學系研究所<br>96<br>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.

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.
