MES Strategy and Direction
MES Definition
• An information technology system(s) that
manage(s) manufacturing operations in factories.
International standards and models have refined
the scope of such systems. Activities typically
include:
-
Management of product definitions
Management of resources
Scheduling
Dispatching of production orders
Execution of production orders
Collection of production data
Production performance analysis
Production track and trace

MES Strategy and Direction
MES Goal
• Improve productivity and reduce
cycle-time--the total time to produce
an order.
• By integrating an MES with ERP
software, factory managers can be
proactive about ensuring the delivery
of quality products in a timely,
cost−effective manner
