Abstract

In the information age, it is hard to imagine planning and production management without the support of information technologies, because the production process has become more complex and harder to control. Almost every company have a management information system for production monitoring, but for some companies, just monitoring is no longer sufficient, becouse they need more accurate determination of error causes and also need to track embedded products and materials The main objective of the thesis was to create an information solution for monitoring and tracking batches of products in discrete production, which would enable monitoring of input batches of materials and components, as well as other events, that occur in the production process. The module for tracking product lots is an upgrade of an existing information system for monitoring discrete production. Good knowledge of basic information system and manufacturing processes in the discrete production was therefore a prerequisite for making the module. Module for tracking lots is improving data capture and provides quality analysis of the production process. The practical part of the thesis was to design a solution for production tracking that enables data entry via terminals, and setting and reviewing them in a web application. Tracking lots in production makes it easier to discover the cause of bad products, consequently easier to eliminate these causes. Good tracking can eventually eliminate the negative factors of poor raw materials and components, and determine the origin of the material, which is the cause of bad lots.
