Production operation management using Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

This work concerns with the improvement of industrial process performance by integration of MES and automation tools. The strength of MES and weakness of paper work system have been explained. Managing the relations between production execution with other effective activities (e.g. quality, maintenance, inventory ...etc.) in production management has been introduced. The aim of the present work is to reduce the gap between manufactures expertise and IT expertise and also reduces paper work drawbacks and its side effect on production execution management operation. A design of MES has been proposed and implemented over El-Araby Plastic Injection Molding (PIM) factory as a case study. The results show that MES is beneficial.
