IT AUTOMATION SYSTEMS FOR MEAT PROCESSING INDUSTRY
RESEARCH OF THE COMPANY "PROMELECTRONICA"
In early 2000 meat processing was one of the best developing segments of
food processing industry. Today impact of post-devaluation factors on econo-
my is practically completely spent and active increase of population affluence
is slowing down. Besides, Russian meat processing industry is domestic-
oriented. Inner market is peculiar for consumer low purchasing power while
processing industry is import-dependent buying raw materials from Brazil, Ar-
gentina, USA and Byelorussia and some other countries. Complex of the said
factors makes large meat processing companies stronger by displacing smaller
operators from the market. Considering this trend of market development, meat
processing companies increase investments into promotion of their products,
enlargement of product line, improvement of product quality and reduction of
production expenses. Solution of the said tasks can be provided by efficient
production management. And efficient production management in its turn de-
pends on how advanced are the IT management systems of the company.
Contemporary IT management systems include various software solutions de-
signed to increase production efficiency. There are several types of IT management
systems providing management solutions on different sages of production chain:
ERP (Enterprise Resource Processing), MRP II (Material Resource
Processing);
MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems);
Automatic Technological Process Management (ASU TP).
Currently functions of ERP and MES are merging: ERP partially fulfils
functions of MES and visa versa. These systems overlap on the stage of pro-
duction planning, raw material ordering and provision management. Due to
these reasons there are several definitions of ERP and MES. Let’s analyze the
approach defining ERP as a set of integrated applications providing uni-
