Research on agile manufacturing execution systems for the auto electronic parts industry

Pressed by the fierce competition in the auto electronic parts market, we have explored a new production management approach based on manufacture execution system (MES) out of actual needs of the auto electronic parts enterprises to meet the rapidly changing market demands. Technically supported by Web service, XML technology, B/S structure and Microsoft .NET framework, the approach adopts a three-tiered Web-based systematic framework, which is connected to automation equipment and to the management platform, thus achieving seamless data connection, information sharing , and data inquiry in no longer than one second. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) actualize quality control of work-in-process (WIP), statistics analysis, production scheduling and maintenance of equipment and instruments. It can also reduce costs and increase enterprisepsila ability to meet the ever changing market demands. This proposed systematic approach is expected to provide and effective way to the design of MES. Case studies show that enterprise installed MES systems have greatly improved their production.
