MES Part 4

Part 4 – Key Data and Metrics

While process definitions are important in coordinating the work being done in the factory, the data created during processing is equally important (but often overlooked). In part 4 of this five-part series, we look at some of the data generated by the MES and the factory metrics that can be derived from it. We also discuss how manufacturers use this information to improve operations and keep the factory running smoothly.
