Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is widely used in enterprise production scene. But most manufacturing execution systems are expensive and mostly for the continuous production-oriented enterprises. Thus, they are hardly applied to a large number of existing discrete manufacturing enterprises. For discrete manufacturing companies, on-site processing is complex such as the planning and scheduling. This paper proposes a concept that is the use of advanced enterprise information management and designs a CIMS technology for discrete industry. The system is capable of real-time monitoring of discrete manufacturing companies in the products of the process of production and production data collection. The completion of the automatic production scheduling is achieved, providing a variety of enterprise project management module upper and greatly optimizing various production resources of the enterprise configuration. In practical applications, it has received very good results.

Abstract Compaired with mart manufacturing and digital manufacturing, virtual manufacturing is a more advanced mode, which is more flexible, more inexpensive and more suitable for modern competitive society. No matter what type of manufacturing, Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is necessary and plays a key role. So this paper focuses on the MES in virtual manufacturing. MES serves as a bridge to connect the upper planning layer and the control layer of the factory. It has at least 8 functions, including data collection, production process management, human resource management, workpieces tracking, production planning and scheduling, quality control, documentation system and maintenance management. As a typical virtual manufacturing enterprise, the company A is chosen to be introduced, including the background, composition of MES and implementation of MES.

Aiming at the design and development of integrated Manufacturing Execution System (MES) of solar photovoltaic modules production, the difficulty of the manufacturing execution management was pointed out combining with solar photovoltaic modules production flow, the goals and main functions of the integrated MES were analyzed and designed based on the analysis of solar photovoltaic modules production enterprise’s main characteristics and management status. The physical data model of MES was designed by Power Designer software and some key function modules which include workshop plans and scheduling management, Workflow management and control system and process quality control were developed based on J2EE. The practical applications in some solar photovoltaic modules production enterprises were proved that the integrated MES could enhance the manufacturing management level of solar photovoltaic modules production effectively.

Today’s e-Commerce systems are applying pressure on the manufacturing industry. Shorter lead times, smaller production runs, just-in-time inventory and build-to-order are all manufacturing operations’ nightmares. Worse, with ERP, CRM, APS and SCM, each application provides significant content but it is very difficult to make them all work together. The Manufacturing Execution System is the glue that turns all the pieces of the puzzle into one solid solution. Manufacturing Execution System accomplishes this by becoming the source of real-time production/fulfillment data and the central data source. Manufacturing Execution System applications effectively fall into the following areas: _ Enterprise system integration _ Production tracking w/genealogy _ Real-time Inventory Management _ Manufacturing operations management * (ERP - enterprise resource management, CRM - customer relationship management, APS - advanced planning and scheduling, SCM - supply chain management).

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are still rather unknown compared to their relatives, Enterprise Information Systems. To date, most research about MES focused on technical aspects and implementation approaches. In this paper, five statistical models are developed and a web-based survey among global Operations and Supply Chain managers from the manufacturing industry is conducted. Managers were invited to complete a questionnaire, where the central questions queried the mentioned performance metrics, but also other conditions like the presence of ERP or Lean practices. When comparing the means between companies with and without an MES, it shows that on each performance metric, MES-companies perform better than non-MES companies do. The results of the statistical analysis support the authors’ claim that companies with an MES in place outperform their competitors without an MES on the inventory- and logistics performance, as well as on Order Lead Time.

Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a job-shop production oriented management information system and the bridge between production plan management layer and job-shop control layer in an enterprise. Job-shop scheduling is the core module of MES, which direct affects the efficiency of production and management in the enterprise. According to the characteristics of discrete production management, a job-shop production scheduling system is presented that adapts to multi-variety small-batch production. A MES architecture for dynamic discrete production and its core modules are presented. Then, dynamic job-shop production scheduling problem is visually modeled and simulated based on Witness to realize optimal resource deployment.
