Today, within the global Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) approach, success of design, industrialization and production activities depends on the ability to improve interaction between information systems that handle such activities. Enterprises deploy mainly PLM system, Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in order to manage sufficient product-related information and provide better customer-products. This paper proposes a methodological approach to improve the quality of data exchanged between engineering and production. This involves the integration among information systems especially the PLM-MES integration. Thus, the proposed approach aims to overcome the problem of data heterogeneity by proposing a mediation system resolving syntactic and semantic conflicts of data managed by these systems.

Ein entscheidendes Merkmal von Industrie 4.0 ist die dezentrale Produktionssteuerung. Hier wird die Entscheidungsfindung nicht mehr nur durch ein zentrales System – beispielsweise einem Manufacturing Execution System (MES) oder einem Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) – sondern durch eine Vielzahl von Personen und Objekten getroffen, die am Prozess beteiligt sind. Die Kommunikationsstruktur dieser Objekte zu analysieren, ist eine Möglichkeit die Dezentralität zu bewerten.

Autoethnography has emerged as a relatively new methodological approach within the fields of project management, information technology, organizational behavioral studies, and more broadly within the social sciences. As a reflexive methodology it offers the beginning and experienced researcher a means of critically exploring the social forces that shapes ones involvement in the information technology project implementation process and subsequent the project management experience. In this article the authors discuss the significance of autoethnography as it was utilized to research the experiences of project managers in the enterprise resource planning systems implementation process. The process involved recollecting, writing and re-reading experiences in light of social capital and organizational theories that explore the socio-psychological and cultural aspects within the implementation period of an enterprise resources planning system. The autoethnographic approach used in this article contributes to the emergent methodological literature that embraces the textual or narrative turn within qualitative studies of information technology and project management.

Manufacturing execution system is information systems (IS) that bridges the gap between IS at the top level, namely enterprise resource planning (ERP) nd IS at the lower levels, namely the automation systems. MES has been reported to increase productivity, maintain product quality, and reduce production time. However, the advantage is obtained if MES is integrated smoothly with the other systems. Currently there is an industry standard, ISA-95, which can be used as a reference model in the process of integrating MES with ERP and automation systems. This study was undertaken to propose a methodology for MES design utilizing ISA-95 standard.The methodology is designed considering the objectives of MES development from a point of view manufacturing system and also from the point of view of information systems. Thus, challenges from two domains, namely business (manufacturing) domain and technology (IS domain) are both considered in the development of the methodology.

Abstract Controlling and dosing electrolytes is a key challenge in the operation of electroplating process chains. Electrolyte components are continuously degraded and dragged out during the production process. This process is influenced by a variety of internal and external factors such as process parameters, the electrolyte itself, anodes, the substrates and the production environment. The exact analytical measurement of the electrolyte composition requires extensive analytical equipment and typically cannot be completely realized within an industrial plating company. Therefore, this paper presents a model-based approach, integrated in a cyber-physical production system, for controlling and dosing electrolytes. A mathematical resource flow model is the basis for a dynamic agent-based simulation. This model uses available data from the manufacturing execution system and enterprise resource planning system to model the current composition of the electrolyte. The approach is successfully validated for two different electrolyte substances at an industrial acid zinc–nickel barrel plating process chain for automotive parts.

This article focuses on engineers at an organization that may rely on its product lifecycle management software to speed a product to market. The system gives engineers a way to talk among themselves over a network as they work out product details and hash over design changes. Equally important to a fast-paced manufacturer is an enterprise resource planning system, which manages the operational, planning, and control side of the organization. As costs come down, smaller companies, often the suppliers to the big ones, are also finding it worthwhile to undergo the expense and transition to install enterprise management software and to wed their engineering and manufacturing systems. Manufacturers can usually expect installations of extensive systems to cost a sizable portion of their information technology budgets. An enterprise planning system can be time-consuming to implement and the training period long. Following a two-year company-wide evaluation, Anchor Lamina executives decided to re-engineer front-end processes. They specifically sought estimating, computer-aided manufacturing, and design technology that could be easily integrated with the company’s ERP system.

This paper is intended to determine the application of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications and the quality of accounting information systems towards the implementation of internal control over financial reporting at PT. Waskita Tbk. The population in this study was PT Waskita Tbk employees who were under the Division I office in charge of the Sumatran region with a total population of 552 employees, with a sample used by 100 employees. Data analysis method in this study uses multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the simultaneous Corporate Resource Planning System and the quality of the accounting information system influence significant effect for the assistance of internal control over financial statements. While Enterprise System Resource Planning has a significant effect on internal control over financial reporting, accounting accounting information systems have a significant effect on controlling financial reporting. Researching to improve internal control over reporting, PT. Waskita Tbk. Continue to renew the use of information technology to be able to increase the use of internal control.

Accounting information systems (AISs), the core module of any enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, are usually designed as centralised systems. Nowadays, the continuous development and applications of blockchain, or more broadly—distributed ledger technology (DLT), can change the architecture, overcome and improve some limitations of centralised systems, most notably security and privacy. An increasing number of authors are suggesting the application of blockchain technologies in management, accounting and ERPs. This paper aims to examine the emerging literature on this field, and an immediate result is that blockchain applications can have significant benefits. The paper’s innovative contribution and considerable objective are to examine if blockchain can be successfully integrated with AIS and ERPs. We find that blockchain can facilitate integration at multiple levels and better serve various purposes as auditing compliance. To demonstrate that, we analyse e-procurement systems and operations using case study research methodology. The findings suggest that DLT, decentralised finance (DeFI), and financial technology (FinTech) applications can facilitate integrating AISs and ERP systems and yield significant benefits for efficiency, productivity and security.
