How a custom MES helped our client improve production efficiency by 40%

In our previous newsletter , we discussed how our bespoke software solution enhances the ERP system for production management. In this edition, we shift our focus to how our custom Manufacturing Execution System (MES) further strengthens these solutions by providing real-time control and insights. A leading thermosensor manufacturer approached us to bridge the gap between their existing ERP system and the real-time demands of their production floor.

Challenges Faced Before MES Integration

Before integrating the Manufacturing Execution System, the company relied exclusively on its SAP ERP for production management, which encountered challenges in efficiently managing the complexities associated with multiple production units.

• Lack of Real-Time Production Visibility: Their ERP system did not provide a consolidated view of production, causing delays in decision-making.
• Inefficient Resource Utilization: Without real-time insights into resource availability, optimizing machine and workforce usage was difficult.
• Disjointed Communication: Fragmented systems led to poor communication among production, quality control, and team management, resulting in delayed issue resolution.
• Reactive Quality Control: Quality checks were conducted too late in the production process, increasing rework costs and delaying delivery times.

Solution: Custom MES Integration with ERP for Enhanced Production

To overcome these challenges, we implemented a custom Manufacturing Execution System (MES) integrated with their existing ERP system. The key components of the MES included:

• Improved Real-Time Production Visibility: A dashboard providing real-time tracking of production stages, enabling proactive decision-making.
• Efficient Resource Utilization: Streamlined management of resources, including supervisor workload and material usage.
• Streamlined Communication: Centralized communication to improve coordination between departments.
• In-line Quality Checks: Real-time quality checks at each production stage, allowing for proactive issue detection and adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Benefits of Integrating Custom MES with ERP

The integration of the MES with the client’s ERP system led to significant operational improvements, such as:

• Consolidated Production View: A unified view of production processes across all units, simplifying management and tracking.
• Enhanced Resource Utilization: Better insights into labor availability, enabling more efficient operations.
• Standardized Procedures Across Units: Uniform processes across multiple production units for improved control and efficiency.
• Real-Time Production Monitoring: Up-to-date visibility into all production units, facilitating quicker decision-making.

Conclusion

The successful integration of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with the client’s ERP system resulted in a remarkable 40% increase in operational efficiency. This case highlights the importance of combining ERP systems with MES for enhanced production control.
