Method of and system for controlling a manufacturing process

摘要

A method of controlling manufacturing processes in a plant via a MES system comprises the step of providing the MES system with a single production-related entity (10) for manufacturing a plurality of products whose manufacturing processes share most of the process workflow and most of the resources. The providing step further includes:
- including (13) into the single production-related information entity (100a), for process stages in which non-shared resources are involved and which are to be performed according to parameters specific for each product in said plurality, information (105) about the parameters to be used for the different products; and
- at the creation of a production order for a specific product, reading from the single production-related information entity (100a) and including in the order (14) only the parameters specific for that product.
