Towards Industry 4.0: Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Design for Mass Customization

Abstract

Mass customization is flexible and highly responsive manufacturing systems that produce various customized products, various disturbances happen in the mass customization manufacturing process. These conditions mostly cause bullwhip effect on other processes, such as delivery delays, high level of personnel over time, and work-in-progress (WIP) inventories. In this paper, researchers propose a manufacturing execution system (MES) to solve various problems that occur in the implementation of the mass customization production system. MES a real-time shop floor-oriented management information, which could reduce waste in manufacturing processes, which implicated to reduced cycle time, improved product quality, thereafter lead to the success of mass customization production system.
