outcomes for you

If you want to stay competitive, you need a strong Quality Improvement program.  An MES can enhance what you're able to accomplish through: 

• enhanced traceability: You can track products from raw materials to finished goods for complete visibility.

• defect prevention: Robust quality control measures prevent issues at every stage of your production process.

• regulatory compliance: You can ensure adherence to industry standards and customer requirements.

• customer satisfaction:

  If you provide your team with the right information, you can answer customer questions promptly and correctly.  

• on-time delivery: You will meet and exceed customer expectations with the most efficient production planning and execution possible for your team.

• flexible order fulfillment: You can adapt to changing customer demands and order volumes.

• increased customer loyalty and trust: You will build and maintain strong, consistent customer relationships with help from the right MES.

Operational efficiency is something you can not only monitor, but plan for with an MES.  And when you're able to increase efficiency, you save money and time on every job. 

• increased throughput: Optimized production processes maximize output for your team while minimizing waste.

• reduced downtime: Proactive maintenance and real-time troubleshooting minimize equipment downtime.

• improved resource utilization: Better usage of labor, machinery, and materials lead to one of the most important MES outcomes of all: better financial performance.

While an MES doesn't report financials like an ERP, it can substantially add to them.  Improvements in the key areas above - customer satisfaction, operational efficiency and quality - means you're saving money on every piece of work you do, maximizing your profits.  

• return on investment: Keep in mind you'll need to justify the MES investment through measurable improvement in key performance indicators (KPIs).  Ask the various vendors how to do this and what they expect your return to be with their system.  Cut these estimates by 50 - 60%.  

• cost reduction: Get better resource utilization to minimize production costs across your organization.
