Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
MES manages shop-floor execution. It tracks production orders, quality checks, and work-in-progress in real time.
What it is
MES manages shop-floor execution. It tracks production orders, quality checks, and work-in-progress in real time.
What it does day to day
- Dispatch production orders to work centers.
- Track completion, scrap, and downtime.
- Enforce quality checks and traceability.
- Report production performance and yield.
Typical data
- Work orders and operations.
- Work centers and equipment status.
- Quality inspections and defect logs.
- Material consumption and yield data.
Where it overlaps
- MRP for planning and scheduling.
- ERP for costing and inventory.
- Maintenance systems for equipment uptime.
When MES is the priority
- Production status is unclear in real time.
- Quality data is inconsistent.
- Yield and downtime reporting is weak.
