A Web-Based Manufacturing Execution System for Industry Services and Supply Chain Management: Application to Real-Time Process Virtual Monitoring

As tier1 and tier 2 manufactures seek solutions to bridge the gap between supply chain management (SCM) and the critical plant floor operations. The classical manufactures are looking for customized solutions to bridge the gap between SCM and plant floor operations. In industries, shop floor and SCM remains a blockade to improve visibility. In floor manipulates more data and gain better control of processes, solutions proliferate, adding new challenges to gaining full visibility and integrating floor and SCM. In order to increase the visibility of plant floor activities, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are often used in conjunction with SCM systems to simplify and enable actual manufacturing processes. This paper proposes a solution to the integration of MES and supply chain management.
