Manufacturing Execution Systems: An Operations Management Approach, 2e Textbook & Workbook Set (International Society of Automation) [9781643312163]

Overview

Manufacturing Execution Systems: An Operations Management Approach and the accompanying workbook were designed to help manufacturing operations management (MOM) practitioners and students understand how to implement and utilize manufacturing execution systems (MES) to optimize data collection and review, improve process efficiency and ensure/improve product quality to achieve the desired return on investment.

Industry veterans Grant Vokey and Thomas Seubert explain the interactions among the MOM key elements (MES, enterprise resource planning [ERP] and product life cycle management [PLM]) and how MES contributes to a streamlined process that produces quality products.

This book discusses the potential for MES to drive real-time, data-driven performance improvement by expanding on the following concepts:

• How the MES application supports operations planning, analysis and reporting
• How MES identifies quality issues and provides the data needed to determine the causes and resolve the problems
• The full scope of MES planning and implementation and its impact on manufacturing operations
• Designing, configuring and implementing MES systems
• IT concepts related to MES and how they apply to manufacturing operations
• How MES can be applied to Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
• How MES data can be used for continuous improvement

Independent learners and engineering students can use this book and workbook as a resource for terminology and the functionality of the systems, models and standards that support manufacturing operations. Industrial engineering instructors can use this set as a foundation for manufacturing courses, including the data structures required to support manufacturing.
