Features: The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for process industries is a comprehensive systematic engineering that involves multidisciplinary content such as management, operations research, automation, informatization technology, and the process industry itself. In this book, the author introduces the basic concepts of MES and then explains its main functions, including production planning and scheduling, logistics management, quality management, cost management, equipment management, and energy management in process industries. On this basis, the key technologies and implementation issues of MES for process industries are discussed. Finally, specific examples are provided to illustrate MES products and their applications. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM demonstrating the use of MES software (AriMES). The first author, Sun Yanguang, is a senior engineer with the Metallurgical Automation Research and Design Institute, with many years of experience in automation and informatization for process industries. He organized the development of the Manufacturing Execution System (MriMES) for steel plants and applied it in multiple steel companies. The second author, Chen Jingping, is an engineer at the Institute of Remote Sensing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, who has worked on many national and corporate informatization projects and has deep expertise in software system analysis and development.
