MES for Lean Manufacturing Efficiency

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) provides real-time data monitoring and information on the shop floor to support lean concepts like waste reduction while maximizing existing ERP investments. An MES system updates the ERP with production transactions and displays schedules and parts lists to management and operators. It also interfaces automatically with machine controls to provide important present status information to users and management. An MES eliminates the need to recheck and adjust ERP inventory by managing actual work-in-progress inventory locations and availability online.
