The Fundamental Questions.

For many years, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) have been utilized to reduce costs and drive operational improvements by limiting variability of products, increasing efficiency of production assets, and providing tracking of products throughout manufacturing processes. Systems that provide important metrics such as Key Performance Indicators (KPI), process historians, quality management, and track and trace have become commonplace in manufacturing facilities, while addressing such fundamental questions as: “Do we have product? Is it affordable? Is it quality?”

The Last Mile.

Today, MES is much more than a tool for improving plant performance. With automated manufacturing and professional data integration methodologies, total synchronization of quality plans, statistical process control, warehouse integration and live ERP data feeds, MES has now become critical for aligning manufacturing with business realities. Integrating manufacturing data to the enterprise, MES applications enable manufacturing facilities to be intimately involved in the supply chain of a business. They bring businesses into the “last mile” of alignment by joining the seller, the suppliers, and the customers together in a single, flexible, robust environment.

Real Time Yields Real Results.

Companies with disciplined MES processes and plant dashboard systems in place report a nearly 30% improvement in operating margins* compared to companies who do not. In addition, consumer trends such as flexible packaging and regulatory compliance are making MES a necessity.Whether for health and safety issues or the warranty demands of the consumer, MES systems have evolved from multiple-point operational solutions to a total business strategy for rules-based manufacturing.
