Manufacturing Execution Systems and Enterprise Resource Planning Systems support the Manufacturing Enterprise. The two families of systems have been developed independently, so they have grown without a scope or a strictly defined border. The feature overlapping between them raises relevant issues in the integration with control systems. This paper analyzes how different types of manufacturing ...

In a manufacturing perspective, a successful product introduction requires attention for the product quality, the introduction process, manufacturing scale and ICT support for manufacturing processes. The patterns that have been found in the product lifecycle provide information on what product introduction scenarios need to be supported. If these scenarios are considered upfront, they can aid ...

Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) is a widely used approach through manufacturing environments in a variety of sectors. With a tendency to go to specialized, smaller lot sizes in several industries (e.g., the pharmaceutical sector), companies are dealing with capacity bottlenecks if the planning rhythm wheel is not well calibrated or when production lines are not flexible enough in terms of...
