Research Of Information Systems Of Logistic Management For Discrete Manufacturing Enterprise Based On ERP And MES

With China joining WTO and the economy globalization going more deeply, China is becoming the center of the world manufacturing industry. In order to remain invincible in competition, enterprise must make use of information technology with advanced logistics thinking to enhance synthetical competitive ability of the enterprises. Establishing logistics management information systems is an important means to increase enterprise logistics efficiency in our country, and it is the necessary condition of the modern enterprise obtaining the competition predominance, it works for enterprise to carry out logistics management service. It is the powerful auxiliary means of enterprise adapting the new logistics operation characteristic, such as the demand multiplication, the competition intensification, the strategic change speeding up, and so on. Logistics management information systems experience successive phases that include MRP, MRP II and ERP.This paper studies the operating mode of the discrete manufacturing enterprise, as well as every department's characteristic of this kind of enterprise, namely the hugeness and the sharing of information quantity and the complication of logistics demands, the diversification of logistics policy-making goals and the specialization of logistics service system, the paper analyzes the rife problems of logistics management for discrete manufacturing enterprise, and then combines with actual production of Shenyang Heavy Machinery Group Co., Ltd, studies requirement of the logistics information management for Shenyang Heavy Machinery Group Co., Ltd. This paper dissertates the demand of communication of logistics management for Shenyang Heavy Machinery Group Co., Ltd, and proposes an idea of information systems of logistics management based on the integration of ERP and MES, according to the theory of the plan of ERP and the execution of MES and respective characteristic, and discusses the characteristic and the merit of information systems of logistics management based on ERP and MES. Finally, the paper bring forward the information systems of logistics management facedto the enterprise of discrete mechanical manufacture, which is based on the integration of ERP and MES and combined with Shenyang Heavy Machinery Group Co., Ltd.The paper makes use of object oriented development method and B/S infrastructure, as well as makes foreground application and visit database with Visual Basic6.0 of Microsoft, and sets up background database also with Microsoft SQL Server2000, in order to establish and realize the function module of information systems of logistics management, moreover make out explanation of strategy and the step for system implementing.The study of this paper supplies a gap of separately researching on ERP or MES for present logistics management information systems. The paper puts forward to setting up logistics management information systems based on the integration of ERP and MES, in order to accord with the request of the integrative enterprise logistics information, and it has some theoretical study meaning and actual application referenced worthiness.
