With investment and help of the information technology system, business owners expect to well manage the production capacity, facilities, and quality. The manufacturing execution system (MES) is one of the solutions to increase the manufacturing efficiency and improve quality based on keeping records of manufacturing processes and providing meaningful data for decision making. This research applied 8D procedure to improve the shop floor inspection workflow and to find the root causes of overdue inspection time. Furthermore, this research implemented IDEF0 method as the software development method in the improving phase of the 8D procedure, and adopted an electronic bulletin board in the MES to make message communication better between departments. After introduction of this project, the wasting time of the inspection substantially reduced 78%, and saved two million dollars of the labor cost annually.
