Žiga Jelen (2012) Informatization proposal of clear coatings manufacturing management process. EngD thesis.
Helios is a water-based coatings production company, located in Domžale. This thesis is related to Helios’s production unit in terms of optimizing the production process of the plant by applying means of informatization to several procedures. The company’s management sets the list of requirements to be satisfied, such as sub goals to be included in the solution proposed, or present management execution system information that will support the plant’s manufacturing process. Firstly, group Helios and company Helios, TBLUS are presented along with their manufacturing facility and IT support requirements. Further on, the theoretical and scientific concepts on which the practical part relies on will be described. In this part, planning, controlling and managing of production systems and processes are defined, mainly focusing on the IT support and management systems and enterprise modeling. The practical part of the thesis consists of two parts: (1) an exact replica of current business processes in the plant, including the description of working documentation and work places and (2) a suggested model of informatizing the manufacturing process, a procedure that represents the core of this thesis. In the proposal part the three-layered enterprise architecture model is analyzed including: business, application and technological layer. The application layer is described in detail, being the basis for implementation, functionalities and application modules. Concluding, it is argued that the solution proposed meets all expectations set and therefore fulfills the main objective and targets. Finally, in a closing section will be displayed advantages, potential vulnerabilities and risks that can occur throughout the implementation procedure of the proposed information system.
