Manufacturing

Manufacturing remains the foundation of some of the largest economies in the world. Today this sector relies on technology to deliver services that meet new business and operating demands.

The manufacturing execution system (MES) – a central system for managing all manufacturing information such as resource allocation and manufacturing planning (MRP), supply chain information and quality inspection numbers – has typically operated as an isolated and self-contained system on the plant floor. Similarly, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which pulls together and stores business operating information about human resources, accounting, customer relationship management and other financials, also operated independently. Both systems have always been critical to the manufacturing organization, but until recently, had never been linked. The demand for integration is due in part because of new demands for fast response times in manufacturing.
