Abstract The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a production management system serving as the information center in the enterprise to improve manufacturing transparency. It is the middle layer connecting the manufacturing process on the shop floor and the business process on the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) level. On the one hand, the MES guides the execution of rough production plans into detailed operations on the shop floor. On the other hand, it provides the firm with critical key performance indicators (KPIs), enabling commercial decisions. The support from the MES, such as production fine planning, performance analysis, and product tracing, can help manufacturers to be efficient and gain more competitiveness in the global market. However, in the food and beverage industry, which faces strict regulations, growing competitiveness, customer demand changing, and suffer from low-profit margins, the implementation of the MES did not become widespread. This article intends to present the particular characteristics of the food and beverage manufacturing process, analyze the potential benefits and barriers of the MES implementation in the food and beverage industry through literature review. The solutions to solve the MES implementation issues and the research areas that need to be explored in order to meet the MES requirements from the food and beverage industry are also discussed in this article.

制造执行系统在食品饮料行业的实施

摘要 制造执行系统(Manufacturing Execution System，MES)是一种作为企业信息中心的生产管理系统，用于提高制造透明度。它是连接车间制造流程和企业资源计划 (ERP) 级别业务流程的中间层。一方面，MES 将粗略的生产计划的执行引导到车间的详细操作中。另一方面，它为公司提供关键的关键绩效指标 (KPI)，支持商业决策。MES的支持，如生产精细规划、性能分析和产品追溯，可以帮助制造商提高效率，在全球市场上获得更大的竞争力。然而，在面临严格监管、竞争日益激烈的食品饮料行业，客户需求不断变化，且受制于低利润率，MES 的实施并未普及。本文旨在介绍食品和饮料制造过程的特定特征，通过文献综述分析 MES 在食品和饮料行业实施的潜在好处和障碍。本文还讨论了解决 MES 实施问题的解决方案以及为满足食品和饮料行业的 MES 要求而需要探索的研究领域。通过文献综述分析 MES 在食品和饮料行业实施的潜在好处和障碍。本文还讨论了解决 MES 实施问题的解决方案以及为满足食品和饮料行业的 MES 要求而需要探索的研究领域。通过文献综述分析 MES 在食品和饮料行业实施的潜在好处和障碍。本文还讨论了解决 MES 实施问题的解决方案以及为满足食品和饮料行业的 MES 要求而需要探索的研究领域。
