Manufacturing Execution Systems, short for MES, are an essential component of operations in today's competitive business environments, which require greater production efficiency and effectiveness. MES focuses on the valuing-adding processes, helping to reduce manufacturing cycle time, improve product quality, reduce WIP, reduce or eliminate paperwork between shifts, reduce lead time, and empowering plant operations staff. This section includes an overview of MES and quotes from users.
"Manufacturing Execution Systems deliver information enabling the optimization of production activities from order launch to finished goods. Using current and accurate data, MES guides, initiates, responds to, and reports on plant activities as they occur. The resulting rapid response to changing conditions, coupled with a focus on reducing non-value-added activities, drives effective plant operations and processes. MES improves the return on operational assets as well as on-time delivery, inventory turns, gross margin, and cash flow performance. MES provides mission-critical information about production activities across the enterprise and supply chain via bi-directional communications."
The concept of MES is widely recognized and used in manufacturing sectors such as automotive, semiconductor, electronics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, medical devices, textiles. Elements such as scheduling, maintenance management, quality, and time and attendance fall within the scope of MES and are used in all industries.
