New technologies are revolutionising the way manufacturing and
supply chain management are implemented. These changes are
delivering manufacturing firms the competitive advantage of a
highly flexible and responsive supply chain and manufacturing
system to ensure that they meet the high expectations of their
customers, who, in today's economy, demand absolutely the best
service, price, delivery time and product quality.
To make e-manufacturing and supply chain technologies effective,
integration is needed between various, often disparate systems. To
understand why this is such an issue, one needs to understand what
the different systems or system components do, their objectives,
their specific focus areas and how they interact with other
systems. It is also required to understand how these systems
evolved to their current state, as the concepts used during the
early development of systems and technology tend to remain in place
throughout the life-cycle of the systems/technology.
This book explores various standards, concepts and techniques used
over the years to model systems and hierarchies in order to
understand where they fit into the organization and supply chain.
It looks at the specific system components and the ways in which
they can be designed and graphically depicted for easy
understanding by both information technology (IT) and non-IT
personnel.
Without a good implementation philosophy, very few systems add any
real benefit to an organization, and for this reason the ways in
which systems are implemented and installation projects managed are
also explored and recommendations are made as to possible methods
that have proven successful in the past. The human factor and how
that impacts on system success are also addressed, as is the
motivation for system investment and subsequent benefit measurement
processes.
Finally, the vendor/user supply/demand within the e-manufacturing
domain is explored and a method is put forward that enables the
reduction of vendor bias during the vendor selection process.
The objective of this book is to provide the reader with a good
understanding regarding the four critical factors
(business/physical processes, systems supporting the processes,
company personnel and company/personal performance measures) that
influence the success of any e-manufacturing implementation, and
the synchronization required between these factors.
. Discover how to implement the flexible and responsive supply
chain and manufacturing execution systems required for competitive
and customer-focused manufacturing
. Build a working knowledge of the latest plant automation,
manufacturing execution systems (MES) and supply chain management
(SCM) design techniques
. Gain a fuller understanding of the four critical factors
(business and physical processes, systems supporting the processes,
company personnel, performance measurement) that influence the
success of any e-manufacturing implementation, and how to evaluate
and optimize all four factors"
