This article deals with Manufacturing Operations Management / Manufacturing Execution Systems for Small and Medium Business as specific type of companies. Many times, those companies do not have resources to follow full complexity of Manufacturing Operations managements system and need to select only products which they are forced to have due to internal or external regulations. Rest of the product are many times either substitute with simple solution like spreadsheets or not present at all. Successful implementation of each of those products means significant improvement in quality, reduced costs or higher efficiency.

Die Aufgaben von Manufacturing Execution Systems werden in Industrie 4.0 weiter wachsen, hin zum übergreifenden Betriebsmanagement. Ein solches Manufacturing Operations Management ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil eines Industrie-4.0-basierten Produktionssystems. Die für heutige MES definierten Funktionen und Interaktionsmechanismen müssen daher für Industrie 4.0 durch Definition von entsprechenden Teilmodellen und Diensten aufbereitet und in interoperabler Form bereitgestellt werden. Der Beitrag motiviert und diskutiert eine solche Ableitung von Industrie-4.0-konformen Teilmodellen und Diensten auf Basis der IEC/EN 62264.

The intention of this paper is to give some methodical approach in Key Performance Indicators for Manufacturing. Within this it covers the defining of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). The purpose is to analyze the influences of equipment, personnel and inventory to the production process and how to apply them in making decisions. This paper gives an overview about definition of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and the area of standardization of object models. The KPI for the manufacturing operations management include the areas personnel, equipment, inventory and production process. It contains also a collection of key performance indicators (KPI) to be used in the area of production control and monitoring to assess and define the targets of production processes.

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).

With Industry 4.0 related initiatives, a brand new array of opportunities has emerged for organizations to face the ordeals that come with managing ever-growing manufacturing needs. The exponential increase in the complexity of supply chain management has put a real strain on manufacturing operations. In order to succeed, organizations must turn to solutions such as manufacturing execution systems (MES) in order to stay competitive. In this research chapter, we discuss the impact of MES in organizations, whilst describing the process for going from a theoretical concept to a hands-on system which runs the shop floor operations.

The employment of tools and techniques for monitoring and supervising the performance of industrial systems has become essential for enterprises that seek to be more competitive in today’s market. The main reason is the need for validating tasks that are executed by systems, such as industrial machines, which are involved in production processes. The early detection of malfunctions and/or improvable system values permits the anticipation to critical issues that may delay or even disallow productivity. Advances on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-based technologies allows the collection of data on system runtime. In fact, the data is not only collected but formatted and integrated in computer nodes. Then, the formatted data can be further processed and analyzed. This article focuses on the utilization of standard Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), which are a set of parameters that permit the evaluation of the performance of systems. More precisely, the presented research work demonstrates the implementation and visualization of a set of KPIs defined in the ISO 22400 standard-Automation systems and integration, for manufacturing operations management. The approach is validated within a discrete manufacturing web-based interface that is currently used for monitoring and controlling an assembly line at runtime. The selected ISO 22400 KPIs are described within an ontology, which the description is done according to the data models included in the KPI Markup Language (KPIML), which is an XML implementation developed by the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) international organization.

This paper aiming at the zero-failure data and uncertain-decision problems exist in the information system reliability growth process, it proposes to build the Bayesian network topology of FMEA. It adopts Leaky Noisy-OR model, and it analyses the probability that the subsystem functional module will go wrong in quantity. It solves the problem of identifying the vague and incomplete information exists in the complex system rapidly and accurately, laying the foundation for further study of the reliability growth comprehensive ability assessment of system based on the Bayesian network. In this paper, on the background of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) engineering, aimed at research on models and evaluation methods of reliability growth for MES, enclosing reliability of MES task and design target, reliability growth test and analysis methods, it proposes the goal of MES reliability growth planning.

It is well known that manufacturing operations can affect the environment, but hardly any research explores whether the natural environment shapes manufacturing operations. Specifically, we investigate whether water scarcity, which results from environmental conditions, influences manufacturing firms to lower their toxic releases to the environment. We created a data set that spans 2000–2016 and includes details on the toxic emissions of 3,092 manufacturing facilities in Texas. Additionally, our data set includes measures of the water scarcity experienced by these facilities. Our econometric analysis shows that manufacturing facilities reduce their toxic releases into the environment when they have experienced drought conditions in the previous year. We examine facilities that release toxics to water as well as facilities with no toxic releases to water. We find that the reduction in total releases (to all media) is driven mainly by those facilities that release toxic chemicals to water. Further investigation at a more granular level indicates that water scarcity compels manufacturing facilities to lower their toxic releases into media other than water (i.e., land or air). The impact of water scarcity on toxic releases to water is more nuanced. A full-sample analysis fails to link water scarcity to lower toxic releases to water, but a further breakdown shows that manufacturing facilities in counties with a higher incidence of drought do lower their toxic releases to water. We also find that facilities that release toxics to water undertake more technical and input modifications to their manufacturing processes when they face water scarcity. This paper was accepted by David Simchi-Levi, operations management.
