MES Explained

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) focuses on the execution and control of production processes on the shop floor. It provides accurate and timely information to improve the efficiency, productivity, and quality of manufacturing processes to managers and workers. Plus, it can be integrated with other systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to adapt and change with growing business needs.

What are they?

Traceability

The Manufacturing Execution System plays an important role in maintaining customer satisfaction and reducing recalls or rework by ensuring product quality and safety. This is accomplished by tracking and tracing products as they move through the manufacturing process. Such tracking is done through unique product identification numbers or barcodes and full traceability of products as they move through the manufacturing process. It even traces down to the specific machines and workers that work on the product. Tracking can also be used for identifying the movement of materials and components, the production process (assembly, testing, packaging, and shipping), quality issues, and compliance with regulatory requirements such as the FSMA and GDPR.
