Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a digital tool used in factories to manage and optimize the production process. It connects and monitors plant activities in real-time, helping to improve efficiency, quality, and visibility. In the context of Production Planning and Control, MES ensures that production schedules are followed accurately, resources are utilized effectively, and any issues are quickly addressed. By providing detailed information on the manufacturing floor, MES helps managers make informed decisions, leading to better overall performance and output in the production cycle.
