Who uses MES/MOM?
The introduction of MES is a fully-fledged business project that must cover the needs of all shop floor personnel:
General Management
Questions you ask yourself:
- How can I produce more with less?
- Why is ERP insufficient?
- What is my daily production, in real time?
- How much does this production cost?
- How can I obtain precise and reliable production information?
MES enables you to:
- Centralise all production information
- Set up indicators to track production status in real time
- Coordinate production and ERP
This gives you better control over:
- Costs
- Capacity
- Production plant and equipment
- Energy consumption
- Waste management
Production Manager
Questions you ask yourself:
- What operator skills are needed?
- How should the teams be organised?
- Is every task affected?
- Are delivery times being met?
- What slippage is there, if any?
MES enables you to:
- Centralise production information
- Set up real time performance indicators
- Manage resources
- Reduce data input
This gives you better control over:
- Assignment of skills
- Team organisation
- Contingency management (absences, shortages, resources)
- Lead times
- Raw materials consumption
Operator
Questions you ask yourself:
- What should I do now?
- Why do I constantly have to fill out work sheets?
- Where are the documents I need? Are they up to date?
- Have I achieved the objectives set for the day?
- Do I have time to re-work a non-conforming part?
MES enables you to:
- Avoid spending time on tracking
- Display changes in the day’s indicators in real time
- Respond with full information to a problem
- List tasks that are constantly updated
- Track concrete objectives in real time
- Reduce data input time
- Have a better overview of the production process
- Make the most of your skills and take on more responsibilities
Maintenance Manager
Questions you ask yourself:
- What is the failure rate of each piece of equipment? How can failure be avoided?
- Do we have the spare part?
- When is the next production shutdown planned?
- Who will be available to do the job?
MES enables you to:
- See the details of down time (by cause, by machine)
- Immediately sound the alarm in case of slippage
- Know the operating parameters
- Transmit production and maintenance schedules
You can thus:
- Prevent equipment failures, stoppages and malfuntions and analyse them (history, hierarchy) to gain a better understanding
- Monitor production indicators
- Improve equipment reliability and increase equipment and tool availability
- Manage and plan maintenance work
- Work closely with production teams
Sales Manager
Questions you ask yourself:
- What is the status of my order?
- How can I notify the customer if there is a delay?
- Is the information reliable?
- What alternative can I propose?
MES gives you information about:
- Current status of each order
- Production schedule, updated in real time
- Value of inventories (quantity, location), movements of raw materials between warehouses and production shops and WIP inventory status
- Quality level at all stages of production
Quality Manager
Questions you ask yourself:
- Does production comply with the customer’s specifications?
- How can the quality rate be improved?
- How can re-working and scrap be reduced?
- Is production compliant with all procedures and regulatory requirements?
MES enables you to:
- Analyse malfunctions
- Develop processes and track their use in real time
- Work closely with maintenance teams
- More easily comply with customer specifications, regulations, traceability requirements, quality processes, certifications and limits on waste generation
