Functional-evolution method for implementation of manufacturing execution system
To adapt functions of Manufacturing Execution System(MES) to workshops changing business requirements in its life cycle, an MES functional-evolution method based on mapping between enterprise business activity model and MES functional model was put forward. Evolution process model was established and the process was described. Enterprise business activity Meta-Model and MES functional Meta-Model were given, and their transaction model was defined. Changes of enterprise business was converted into MES functional model by the transaction and functional model was used to drive the evolution process. Finally, the method was validated by the implementation of MES in an aviation enterprise.
