The depth of the role of anatomical MES in the manufacturing enterprise
The depth of the role of anatomy MES in the manufacturing enterprise: MES is not just for ERP services, it is for the manufacture of on-site staff service
Commercial enterprises (for example: department stores, logistics, transportation, etc.) from the ERP obtained benefits are obvious, while the industrial enterprises as the birthplace of presentation and application of ERP, but caught in a "waiting for death, seeking death," the dilemma, reason, ERP-oriented enterprise level management systems, manufacturing enterprises in the manufacturing process determines the complexity of the underlying data required to support ERP, ERP applications, therefore not only failed to mobilize the enthusiasm of plant personnel, but turn them into a kind of information gathering members and entry clerks.
This is MES the main background, on the role of MES, the more common view is: MES and control layer in between the ERP system, play a role of linking role. In my many years of tracking, research, application MES work experience, I think the outcome will be the implementation of MES and the start of the project how to understand the role of MES are closely related. My personal view is: MES is not only an implementation of the system, or a management system.
First, in the agile enterprise strategy, if you want to achieve lean manufacturing, we have to play the dynamic manufacturing sector, flat, and transparent business management does not mean that centralized decision-making. This requires processing factory / manufacturing plant is not only an executive body and the cost center, or a "to management for efficiency" business units (although they are legally not an independent operating entities).
Second, the manufacturing field has a unique management features and needs. For example: Although manufacturing is a service for the orders, but the manufacturing tasks and orders is not a one to one, there are units in batch, batch operation, inspection lot and so on. Therefore, from the ERP perspective, manufacturing management / workshop management weaknesses.
In addition, the product's manufacturing process, there are many uncertainties, the need for software tools to improve operational control capability. Unfortunately, the existing home and abroad MES technologies and systems manufacturing plant did not fully take into account information such as the presence of many unconventional features of uncertainty, the lack of information on these non-scientific decision-making methods under the condition. If the one-sided manner to pursue the amount of information or the accuracy of workshop will not only cause difficulties in plant information integration and decision-making efficiency is not high, but also lead to a lack of adequate MES agility and intelligence, so that enterprises can not adapt to an increasingly uncertain market environment.
So, to say, MES not just for ERP services, it is for the manufacture of on-site personnel services. If companies have production processes, it means that the node has the responsibility of this aspect, we need to deal with the complexity of different operations, also may need to focus on different features of the MES software tools. Executive function, even more obvious in the workshop process industries (such as petroleum chemical industry), the current MES applications are constantly stressed the KPI monitoring. So, from the operation and management, the underlying data collection, production and management to understand their point of view, location MES application, its ultimate effect will be better. |
