An integrated approach for developing a concept for a manufacturing execution model

Abstract

A different manufacturing concept (Lean, Six Sigma) has been used extensively to improve the results of manufacturing enterprises. Today there is an abundance of literature on many techniques and methods, yet there is very little information on integrating techniques with Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and its impact on various industries. This article describes the results of a stage in a case study aimed at establishing an expert system for developing integrated Manufacturing Execution Systems. The model concept can be used to develop the fields of Intelligent Production Planning, Monitoring and Diagnosis, which are part of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology (IMT).
