外文翻译 原文 The practices of integrating manufacturing execution system and six sigma methodology Material Source: International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies 2006(30) Author:Yeong-Dong Hwang Abstract：Currently, manufacturing execution systems(MES) are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, semiconductor, optoelectronic, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries, etc. MES can link with automation equipment to record relevant information automatically and control the quality of work-in-process (WIP), statisticsanalysis, production scheduling and maintenance of equipment and instruments, etc. In recent years the manufacturing industry has successfully applied six sigma projects. However, some of the projects failed due to insufficient data and human errors. This paper aims to discuss the define-measure-analyse-improve- control(DMAIC) phases of integrating MES and six sigma, detailing phases to improve the above situation and to avoid the time and cost for sourcing data. It will improve the process performance and capability, cycle time, rolled throughout yield and operating costs significantly, which in turn improve the quality of implementing six sigma quickly and precisely. 1 Introduction MES is the information system of a process, which actively collects, processes and analyses the materials, semifinished goods, finished goods, machines, time, cost, etc. on the production site in real time and monitors work in progress. As information technology is highly developed, enterprises must precisely grasp market needs to obtain the greatest competitive advantages. MES technology has become a key element for enterprise solutions. The system provides a central information hub of 11 decision-based elements that link to other databases. These elements include data acquisition, dispatching production, document control, labour management, maintenance management, operations/detailed scheduling, performance analysis, process management,
