Supply chain management involves the optimization of the way in which a company plans the production of goods or services, procures raw materials from various suppliers, manufactures the goods or services, delivers it to customers and handles returns.
E-Manufacturing starts with an order for a product and then encompasses the entire manufacturing cycle of the product. Manufacturers need 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.
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. MES accomplish this task by guiding, initiating, responding to, and reporting on plant activities in real time, by using current and accurate data. This rapid response to changing conditions, together with a focus on reducing non-profitable activities, lead to more efficient plant operations and processes.
MES reduces cycle times, levels of WIP (Work In Progress), data entry time, paperwork and scrap. It also improves utilization of plant capacity, process control quality, arrangement of plant activities, tracking of orders and customer service.
Implementation of MES invariably results in improved returns on production assets, on-time delivery, faster inventory turnover, larger net profits (through increased cost reduction) and improved cash flow.

Practical Fundamentals of E-Manufacturing, MES and Supply
1. Practical Fundamentals of
E-Manufacturing, MES &
Supply Chain Management
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology Training that Works
2. Systems Development
• Process Control system evolution
• Accounting systems evolution
• Manufacturing Execution systems
• Supply Chain Management systems
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology Training that Works
3. WHY
• Increased reliability for
– Quality
– Yields
• Increased throughput
• Increased safety
• Reduced human-error
• Increased accuracy of measurement instrumentation
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology Training that Works
4. Evolutionary steps
• Manual Control
• Pneumatic controls
• Sequential Relay controls
• Basic Automatic Process Control
– Analog
– Digital
• SCADA/DCS (& HMI)
• Advanced Process Control
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology Training that Works
6. Pneumatic
• Compressed air
• Multi-directional valves
• Effectiveness very dependant on original logic
design and air supply
• Maintenance/change process difficult
• Specialized skills required
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology Training that Works
7. Sequential relay
• Control relay has to be changed for changing
production requirement
• Mechanical devices hence limited life span
• Troubleshooting time consuming in case of
multiple relay systems
• Require frequent maintenance
• High replacement (in case of changed
requirement) and maintenance cost

9. Process measurement instruments
• Temperature Measurements - Thermocouples,
Filled-system thermometer Pressure
Measurements – Liquid column, Diaphragm
and Strain gauge type
• Flow Measurements – Vortex-shedding and
Ultrasonic flow meters
• Level Measurements – Float-actuated devices
and Magnetically coupled devices

10. Indicating Instruments
• Analog –Analog type indicators fall into two
main categories, moving pointer and moving
scale. These are deflection type devices,
powered directly, pneumatically or electrically,
depending somewhat on their proximity to the
process and the nature of the measurement
• Digital –Electronic digital display is as
accurate as the information fed to them. In
addition, it reduce chances of mechanical
malfunction and human reading error

11. Recording instruments
• Analog – Graphic analog recorders may be
grouped in accordance with the type of chart
used, circular chart and strip chart recorders
• Digital – It is not used extensively in the process
industries unless a digital-computer control
system is used

14. Supervisory Control And Data
Acquisition (SCADA)
• It is purely a software package that is
positioned on top of hardware to which it is
interfaced, via Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs) to graphically display
control status
www.idc-online.com/slideshare Technology Training that Works
17. Supply Chain Management (SCM)
• SCM encompasses every effort involved in producing and
delivering a final product or service, from the supplier’s supplier
to the customer’s customer
• SCM includes managing supply and demand, sourcing raw
materials and parts, manufacturing assembly, warehousing and
inventory tracking, order entry and order management, distribution
cress all channels, and delivery to the customer
• SCM address complex interdependencies due to its wide scope; in
effect creating an “extended enterprise” that reaches beyond the
factory door
