We all know how the economy has impacted manufacturing. And, with a multitude of sources providing helpful information about how to improve your processes, meet customer demand, and still turn a profit, you should still look internally to make sure you have the ability to monitor, track, and report from the shop floor all the way to invoicing. Let’s face it, the greater visibility you have into your operations, the more effectively you can plan, manage, and respond to activities on the shop floor and report on those activities.
So, you’re asking yourself, “How do I make that happen?” The answer: MES. Implementing a manufacturing execution system (MES) integrates your business systems, such as ERP, with your shop floor equipment, increasing visibility throughout the organization. The MES puts in place process and quality management as well as helps manage production scheduling and sequencing, and creates an audit and tracking trail.
We recently hosted a webinar featuring the Infor MES solution from Paper-Less tohelp our ERP XA customers optimize processes and performance and transform mission-critical processes in scheduling, inventory, production, and quality into one integrated solution providing unparalleled visibility and management of manufacturing.
