THE TOOL
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are systems that monitor and control production processes, enabling easy coordination of programming and productivity.
The MES system generates, in real time, fundamental information that contribute to the improvement of production services, from sending documents to the shipment of completed products. This system also introduces information ERP (management system) and adds to the day to day production, coordinating and synchronizing the work.
Benefits gained in the implementation of MES:
Reduction of
waste
Reduction of
machine downtime
Reduction of direct
and indirect labour
Reduction on costs
of labour and training
Support lean
manufacturing
Support continuous
upgrade
Credibility on
final product

- Introduces production orders, items and ERP scripts;
- Monitors, in real time, production orders and procedures, the processes used, hours worked and unproductive, the quantities produced, reworked and wasted;
- Generates productivity and progress reports;
- Monitors, in real time, the stops of the productive resources, whether machines or operators;
- Identifies the root cause of production line shutdowns;
- Analyzes the history and charts, identifying the main causes of downtime, such as slowdowns, daily and monthly productivity;
- Analyzes manual events, such as preventive maintenance, corrective, lack of programming, setup, allowing for more control to managers;
- Analyzes trends and monitoring of goals X executed by period, shift and classes;
- Production management, performed X targets, by monitors shop floor areas support productivity (electronic Andon);
- Alarms, loss of rhythm, overproduction, among others, allowing the manager to correct possible deviations at runtime, reducing daily losses;
- Gantt scheduling in real time.
