The paper presents a method of the integration of ERP and advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems extended with automatic generators of simulation models. The approach allows the use of simulation and visualization for rapid verification of production plans. Both integration module and model generator use data exchange and data transformation methods. The concept of data-driven modeling also allows to verify the obtained solution in terms of quality of production flow with full visualization of the processes occurring in the system. A practical example of simulation verification of a solution achieved in the APS system, using the method of automatic generation of simulation models has been shown. During the verification phase of the implemented methodology, the IFS Application -ERP system, Production Order Verification System (SWZ) for multi-assortment, concurrent production planning and Enterprise Dynamics simulation system integration have been used.
Abstract. The aim of this article is to present an analysis of the impact of ERP-APS-MES systems integration on decision-making process in the manufacturing company of global nature. As a part of the article the flow of data in the integrated ERP, APS, and MES systems and including of these data in Business Intelligence systems were analyzed. Two types of BI systems have been considered, the first classic, based on the search technologies and processing of OLAP data, the second type are the systems of "In-Memory" class. There has been also described the impact of ERP APS and MES systems integration, on the efficiency of business management at all levels: strategic, tactical and operational. The approach proposed by the authors aims to improve significantly the reliability of data. As a consequence this will reduce the risk of erroneous data used in planning and evaluation of implementation processes. According to the authors the integration of these systems will significantly increase the effectiveness of management in the manufacturing company.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
