Practical E-Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management

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 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.This book provides a real-world guide for manufacturing managers and engineers to the implementation of E-Manufacturing procedures and the use of MES systems, in the context of a broader guide to current best-practice techniques in supply chain management.Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) provide up-to-the-minute mission-critical information about production activities across the factory and supply chain via communications networks (e.g. Local Area Networks), resulting in the optimisation of activities throughout all aspects of the manufacturing process.
