duction processes is not quite adequate. Unreliable information hampers trans-
parent production management and leads to different losses. Every top-manager
knows how serious this problem is in his company. Existing business manage-
ment systems EPR have no adequate links to production and thus provide
unreliable information. Accounting gives a delayed understanding how produc-
tion losses turn into loss of money, yet it neither points out the stage of produc-
tion where losses appear nor gives any advice how to solve the problem. For
many top-managers production remains a kind of a "black box". Of course, in
this situation it is hard to manage production and to have a purposive influence
on such indicators of company activities as production cost, product quality or
consumer satisfaction. High production expenses and decrease of company’s
efficiency – that’s the result of "non-transparent" production.
Peculiarity of meat processing is that production process involves a wide
range of ingredients, kinds of meat, spices; it uses a lot of recipes and technolo-
gies. Product mix is huge and accounts for hundreds of items. Production manage-
ment systems should consider different storage periods of ingredients and ready
products because production technology involves multiple flows of materials
constantly moving and changing depending on availability and quantity of cer-
tain ingredients and other involved materials. Management system should also
reflect flexible schedule of equipment employment the same product can be
produced on different lines depending on time.
To understand how MES works, let’s look into operation of this system.
Like in any other IT system an essential part of MES is data book or reference
system. Main kinds of reference systems are data books of equipment and ma-
terials, descriptions of company’s organization structure and storage periods for
different ingredients/ready products.
After reference guides are filled, production tasks and technological plans
should be made. In the course of planning the system automatically does matching
and adjustment jobs for the complete process of product manufacturing.
As soon as you have planned the task you need to send it to production.
For this purpose all calculated data is directed to working places of production
staff complete information about material weighting is displayed there. Be-
sides weight data, MES has the function of data collection from chip-controlled
equipment. The group of such equipment comprises different thermo-chambers,
vacuum injectors, cutters, etc. All information about production parameters comes
to the system to be processed and integrated into general production data.
Information from the local data collecting systems comes to central pro-
cessor where it is computed and the reports are made. The reports are published
on web-site, and any authorized user on any computer connected to Internet can
get on-line access to information on production situation. Moreover, basing on
production data MES issues different reports; production data is sent to adja-
cent systems for further calculations.
Thus MES solves main tasks of control and management of meat
processing as well as the objectives of providing top-management and other
