Manufacturing Execution

Abstract Due to the increasing competitive environment in the manufacturing sector, many industries have the need for a computer integrated engineering management system. The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a computer system designed for product manufacturing with high quality, low cost and minimum lead time. MES is a type of middleware providing the required information for the optimization of production from launching of a product order to its completion. There are many studies dealing with the advantages of the use of MES, but little research was conducted on how to implement MES effectively. A solution to this issue are KPIs. KPIs are important to many strategic philosophies or practices for improving the production process. This paper describes a proposal for analyzing manufacturing system parameters with the use of KPIs.

Earning Power

A product manufacturing involves, automatically, an amount of carbon emitted in the atmosphere. This carbon amount is determined by the consumption level of the resources in the manufacturing process, namely the consumed material and energy. The researches concerning the environmental impact issued by the manufacturing process are based on several concepts like carbon footprint and specific energy consumption, in order to reveal solutions for diminishing this impact. Here, we are introducing a deeper approach of the same issue, grounded on a broader meaning of the environmental impact concept. We are also suggesting a dedicated indicator to measure this impact: the ecological earning power (EcoEP), which is defined by making a connection between the earning power and the environmental impact, judged at the same level (be it the process / operation / job / order / manufacturing system level). EcoEP represents, in fact, a trade off between the economical target of the manufacturer (to earn) and the consequence of its actions, regarded from ecological point of view.
