Abstract
The controllability of a factory is highly dependent on the capability of a given enterprise planning system to interact with the shop floor, and the capability of any authorized user to review the operation plans, as well as the status of any sales order on the shop floor. We have called the concept E-manufacturing, which is a concept to improve the controllability of a factory by connecting the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to the shop floor control (SFC) system through the Internet. Business systems and plant systems must be coupled to reduce decision cycle times and increase plant productivity, as well as eliminating human intervention to improve accuracy and data availability speed. This paper is the output of a project funded by the Egyptian Ministry of Scientific Research and Technology, through the Electronic Research Institute. The overall objective of the…
