Abstract
This paper shall explore the fundamental science behind the ever changing global supply chain. An analogous view of supply chain evolution to that of organic survival theory yields philosophies and methods for achieving strategic advantage and tactical superiority. Manufacturing execution systems (MES) are helping manufacturers bridge the gaps between the shop floor, the supply chain and the ERP system. By doing this, these systems are giving manufacturers more visibility and the control they need to make their production processes more efficient. Many businesses find it difficult to truly maximize Supply Chain or Manufacturing efficiency from back office to mobile worker and maintain real time visibility of what happens on the shop floor. We have successfully implemented true real-time mobile integration for major production sites across globe. SAP investment by reducing critical errors and enhancing customer service. We utilize standard Windows interfaces and WLAN technology to make it easy for shop floor personnel to interact with SAP in real time, using standard automation system. Nothing is installed in our systems that changes SAP in any way, but we can dramatically reduce errors, speed transactions, and give true visibility of day-today activities using standard BI tools provided by SAP. Provide Technology and Services for Manufacturing and Process Industry Plant Floor to SAP Integration using mobile technologies.
