Solve the Profit Draining Enigma of the Shop Floor

When an MES is integrated to accounting, finance and all other manufacturing modules of the system, manufacturers know immediately how their decisions on the shop floor impact revenue and profits. Discrete, batch and process manufacturers’ greatest challenge is knowing how the trade-offs they’re making regarding suppliers, production scheduling, pricing, quality and compliance impact financial performance. An MES provides the shop-floor and production data and when combined with accounting and financial data, the following benefits are often achieved:

  • Eliminating costly bottlenecks across shop floors when it comes to factoring in set-up and tear-down times for every machine across all shop floors.

  • Capture, analyze and take action on real-time insights from SPC data to troubleshoot machine utilization rates and improve production effieincy.

  • Optimize production scheduling, resource allocation and maintenance regardless of plant location.

  • Improve the visbility across every phase of production, starting from raw materials through customer delivery.

  • Gain the data needed to streamline internal, regulatory and customer audits completed as part of an integrated Quality module.
