What
is ManExs MES?
ManEx
integrates a fully functional and comprehensive Manufacturing
Execution System into its overall architecture to help you manage
production and shop floor activity. The basic shop floor management
system comes as part of the standard ManEx package, with a series
of optional, fully integrated modules to let you select as many
or as few functions as needed for your company.
Focused
MES Solutions
Imagine
having the right information for the right person at the right
time, electronically and up-to-date. ManEx provides an effective
Manufacturing Execution System for small and midsize electronics
contract (ECM), Design-to-Order, Cable & Harness and Military
Electronic manufacturers. ManEx's MES has created a Shop Floor
Management system that has specialized functionality needed by
companies in this unique industry niche.
Specialized
Solutions
Like
the rest of the ManEx system, these MES functions are tailored
to the specific needs of these particular manufacturers,
with targeted functionality other ERP systems can’t match.
Some of the following reflect a few of MES's specialized
focus for this specific industry:
-
Item Master Control Management (ICM): The challenge of inventory
control for contract manufacturers is made more difficult by complex
inventory requirements needing the use of multiple parts numbers
and divisions of inventory. Nearly all other ERP systems simply
aren't set up to deal with this kind of complexity. ManEx's MES,
however, provides the specialized capabilities ECMs, Design-to-Order
and Cable & Harness Manufacturers need in order to turn a
very complicated challenge into a very manageable task.
- Product Data Management (PDM): This sections allows
for the easy management of the information associated with the
production of a product. It closely integrates with the Product
Routing module. Detailed work instructions, tasks checklist, auto
alerts, feedback, historical data and all documents related to
a particular product are maintained in this module.
-Real Time Shop Floor Tracking by Bar Code (BC): MES
provides the option to track shop floor activities using bar code
processes for streamlined operations. This is an Optional module
and can be added and integrated into the system at any point.
Increases
Accountability on the Shop floor
Imagine
capturing all critical information provided by the shop floor
via a simple workstation. You can receive the user’s electronic
validation and verification ensuring that instructions, critical
quality information and safety information have been read and
followed. On top of adding peace of mind this makes each an every
individual accountable for performing their task(s) correctly.
This ensures the best quality product and also shows ISO and government
audit agencies a clear electronic trail from product requirements
to execution in manufacturing.
Effective
Production Scheduling
MES's Dynamic Product Scheduling module is concerned
with the techniques that can be employed to manage the activities
that need to be undertaken during the development of a project.
Scheduling can be carried out well in advance of the project begins
and involves identifying the tasks, estimating the time needed,
allocating resources and scheduling when the tasks will actually
take place.
Efficient
Job Costing
Work Order Job Costing (JC) collects
all cost information relating to a Work Order and provides you
with graphical and reported results. It allows you to better track,
evaluate, and calculate costs and optimize use of materials and
profitability. Numerous tools and information sources related
to costing are provided here.
Excellent
Shop Floor Control
Real Time Shop Floor Tracking (SFT) allows you to to
manage and carry out your shop floor activities real time. Materials
are transferred from works centers, move tickets are printed,
transaction histories are recorded, production flows are verified
and checked, scrap material costs are tracked and FGI are posted
automatically... all are done, real time, as they happen on the
production floor. Work order notes can be created, edited and
viewed, engineers' notes and feedback can also be recorded in
this module.
Quality
is number one
MES
promotes conitnuous improvements through controlling and monitoring
the shop floor process to insure high level of quality and on
time delivery. With ManEx's MES, you can reduce non-value-added
time and increase production throughput, while enforcing quality
standards. Time savings of 30% or more are enjoyed when a paper
intensive system is replaced with electronic distribution.
