MES is a force multiplier for your company. Operators run the plant with the SCADA system, and any slowdowns or stoppages are fed back to the scheduler to adjust future production runs.Īs production runs are completed, the system alerts shipping and receiving that product is coming their way-along with all of the paperwork needed to get things into the warehouse or shipped out the door. The warehouse crews are given pick lists and delivery times to ensure the plant has necessary materials. The production schedule pulls in raw material quantities and alerts procurement when stock is running low. The schedulers use this information to optimize the production schedule, fixing it a few days ahead so the plant has time to prepare materials. In a typical MES, customer orders from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system are brought to the schedulers along with current inventory. The MES integrates all of your business systems with your production infrastructure-giving you the information to optimize operations from the shop floor to the top floor. A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is the operating system for your business.
