The Research of MES Material Management Base on BOM

Abstract

MES is an information system for workshop between the planning system and operation control system. It is the basic technical means to realize the automation and agility of production management. The functions of MES include resource allocation, process management, quality control, material management, etc. MES can achieve the function of information tracking, information analysis. It can also predict what may happen in the production process. BOM can describe the material composition of a product and the relationship between its finished materials. MBOM contains the detailed information of various parts, such as the source, quantity and the difference of using time. In essence, it is the description of product materials. Product materials are the core resource of manufacture and management. MBOM provide important information of inventory preparation and material distribution. The traditional material management mode only focuses on the business of purchase, distribution and storage. The relationship between various materials is not considered. Based on the study of the traditional material management mode, this paper puts forward the MES material management mode based on BOM. The information management system is designed and developed according to this management mode. Through the verification by practical application, the material management mode based on BOM realizes the reasonable allocation of materials. Using BOM can improve the efficiency of MES material management.
