By analyzing the trend of MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), the concept of RMES (Reconfigurable Manufacturing Execution Systems) is put forward, which takes information integration as groundwork, aims at optimization of production processes and supports organizations, resources and processes for flexible conFig.. MDA (Model-driven Architecture) is introduced to provide more flexible in the process of the development of RMES, which would adapt to different technology used by the bottom systems and provide a more effective method to build RMES. During the development of RMES, many models are created, such as the model of business analysis, the model of components and the model of deployment. An instance of the system of plan, part of RMES, is presented to show how MDA used in the process of the development of RMES. Later, an application is given to show that RMES based on MDA can decrease the costs of development and maintenance for fitting the evolution of the enterprise.

With the characteristic analysis of manufacturing process in various manufacture enterprises, Model Driven Architecture methodology is applied to construct dynamic reconfigurable manufacturing process model, which can solve the problems of portability, information integration, and interoperability effectively. A dynamic reconfigurable modeling process framework based on model driven Architecture is introduced for manufacture enterprises in this paper. It separates the manufacturing system functionality specification from its implementation on any specific technology platform, and makes the system reconfigurate the manufacturing progress through the transformation of models and transmission of information. At last, the integrated system was applied to a discreet manufacturing process and the application result proves that the system is practical and effective.

<p class="KeywordsText">       Information systems have widespread usage on Manufacturing Systems. Most companies need tracking production processes with information systems to become prominent in highly competitive environment. There are some specific metrics need to be followed and important to access these datas on time and also should be reliable. These metrics include all manufacturing and quality processes. In this context; efficiency, line stoppages, malfunction and interruptions, body and supplied part trace ability informations are needed. This study MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) is the system developed for tracking production processes. MES is working from receipt of order to delivery of the product that are the essentials for the production activities to achieve real time status of all manufacturing data. In this way, all information which not manually recorded or takes long process time to record or can be tracked instantaneously and these records can be reached and analyzed in the future. The system also provides accurate data for us. In this study all phases from design to implementation of an automotive subindustry firm’s MES application designed based on integrated software process requirements are depicted. Relevant system’s integrated software will be implemented to Module Line. This study will allow tracking related product’s all process, decision making and traceability data with serial numbers.</p>

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are process-oriented information-technology (IT) solutions for collecting and managing information from manufacturing processes. Due to the individual programming effort and the complex integration with other manufacturing systems, though the food and beverage manufacturers can benefit from the MES, its implementation is not widespread in this industry. To simplify the implementation and engineering process, the concept of model-driven engineering (MDE) is considered as a solution. However, a feasible model-driven approach for MES engineering has not been established, not to mention for the food and beverage industry. This paper presents an approach for the automatic MES generation according to the MDE concept providing MES functions that are relevant to the food and beverage manufacturing processes primarily. It consists of necessary phases to cover the whole engineering process of the MES. Based on the application of the presented approach to the brewing process in a brewhouse, the feasibility and practicality of this approach were proven.

Manufacturing Execution

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.

Use of Business Models within Model Driven Architecture Model Driven Architecture is a framework dedicated for development of large and complex computer systems. It states and implements the principle of architectural separation of concerns. This means that a system can be modeled from three different but related to each other viewpoints. The viewpoint discussed in this paper is a Computation Independent one. MDA specification states that a model that shows a system from this viewpoint is a business model. Taking into account transformations foreseen by MDA, it should be useful for automation of software development processes. This paper discusses an essence of the Computation Independent Model (CIM) and the place of business models in the computation independent modeling. This paper considers four types of business models, namely, SBVR, BPMN, use cases and Topological Functioning Model (TFM). Business persons use SBVR to define business vocabularies and business rules of the existing and planned domains, BPMN to define business processes of both existing and planned domains, and use cases to define business requirements to the planned domain. The TFM is used to define functionality of both existing and planned domains. This paper discusses their capabilities to be used as complete CIMs with formally defined conformity between planned and existing domains.
