NOMBRE: Milton Fonseca CONTROL DE LA CALIDAD INDUSTRIAL FECHA: 06 de Agosto del 2015 MANUFACTURING EXECUTION SYSTEMS (MES) NRC: 2119 DEFINITION A manufacturing execution system (MES) is a control system for managing and monitoring work-in-process on a factory floor. An MES keeps track of all manufacturing information in real time, receiving up-to-the-minute data from robots, machine monitors and employees. Although manufacturing execution systems used to operate as self-contained systems, they are increasingly being integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software suites. The goal of a manufacturing execution system is to improve productivity and reduce cycle-time, the total time to produce an order. By integrating an MES with ERP software, factory managers can be proactive about ensuring the delivery of quality products in a timely, cost-effective manner. (Rouse, 2012) Manufacturing Execution Systems create flawless manufacturing processes and provide real-time feedback of requirement changes, and provide information at a single source. Other benefits from successful MES implementation might include: Reduced waste, re-work and scrap, including quicker setup times More accurate capture of cost-information (e.g. labor, scrap, downtime, and tooling) Increased uptime Incorporate Paperless Workflow Activities Reduced inventory, through the eradication of just-in-case inventory CASE STUDY: MES - Manufacturing Execution Systems support LEAN Manufacturing empowering shop floor personnel to take real-time decisions. For Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) manufacturers, in particular within the food & beverages, beauty, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors, margins continue to be under increasing pressure. Continued price increases in raw materials, energy and personnel cost can only partially be passed on, as consumers are becoming more cost conscious. The supplies of low cost, discounted or cheaper trade products make it more difficult for brand manufacturers to survive under the current market conditions. Hence, in order to maintain or grow profitability and fulfil shareholder value expectations, the bigger portion of these increases has to be absorbed internally and counterbalanced by efficiency improvements. This case study describes the benefits of a strategic implementation of software packages like Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to effectively reduce cost, and specifically minimise production losses in downtimes, quality and speed. One of those MES products on the market is Factory MES, formerly known as CDCFactory MOM, created by the US company APTEAN. It is designed to transform manufacturing performance by empowering people to make real-time actionable decisions.
