Applying Manufacturing Execution Systems
Computer systems have become an integral part of most companies. The newest of these is Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), a technology that provides on-line application software that companies rely on to manage their manufacturing processes. Applying Manufacturing Execution Systems is the book for everyone who has the responsibility of improving their company's manufacturing results. It shows how the current conditions on the plant floor can be optimized to improve production output using an integrated MES.Applying Manufacturing Execution Systems shows how MES benefits all types of manufacturing from discrete item production to process flow production. The concepts discussed are applicable in all production facilities where a number of variables, whether simple or complex, need to be considered in order to optimize production by effectively using the available resources of people, inventory, and equipment.

The transformation of the classic factory from a production facility into a modern service center has resulted in management problems for which many companies are not yet prepared. The economic efficiency of modern value creation is not a property of the products but rather of the process. What this means is that the decisive potentials of companies are to be found not so much in their production capability but in their process capability. For manufacturers the requirement for process capability, which has in the meantime become the basis of the certification codes, gives rise in turn to the requirement that all value-adding processes be geared to the process result and thus to the customer. A necessary condition of process transp- ency is the ability to map the company's value stream in real time, without the acquisition process involving major outlay – a capability which is - yond the dominant ERP systems. Today modern manufacturing execution systems (MES) can offer re- time applications. They generate current and even historical maps for p- duction equipment and can thus be used as a basis for optimization pr- esses. As early as the beginning of the 1980s work started on methods of this kind which were then known as production data acquisition or - chine data collection. But while the main emphasis in the past was on achieving improvements in machine utilization, today the concern is p- dominantly to obtain real-time mapping of the value stream (supply chain).
