Paper-Less MES - Manufacturing Execution Systems

"Visibly Better Execution"

What is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)?

A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a dynamic information system that drives
effective execution of manufacturing operations.

Using current and accurate data, MES guides, triggers, and reports on plant activities as events occur.

The MES set of functions manages production operations from point of order release to product delivery into finished goods.

Paper-Less MES:

Built upon 20+ years of discrete manufacturing experience, and leveraging data collection, quality and Lean manufacturing best practices, the Paper-Less MES solution will deliver immediate business impact, with greater shop floor control, seamless collaboration and increased visibility into your manufacturing processes.


Manufacturing - Our focus is Manufacturing. It is all we do. 100% of Paper-Less’ customers are manufacturers, and discrete manufacturers at that. The more complex you look, the better we look.

Execution – Execution is what it’s all about. ERP says what is planned, Execution says what happens.

Systems – Systems are needed to help bridge the gap between that which is planned, and that which is happening out on the floor.

Paper-Less’ core MES products are designed to control, integrate and create on-line visibility into Work In Process (WIP) functions including:

• Scheduling
• Dispatch Lists
• Shop Packets
• Production Management
• Labor Reporting
• Kanban Management
• Quality Testing
• Non-Conformance
• Notifications
• Inventory Transactions
• Time Card Management

Paper-Less MES provides ROI by:

• Streamlining processes
• Eliminating Manual Processes
• Integrating Disparate Systems
• Increasing Responsiveness
• Creating visibility into issues (before they become problems)
• Enabling 'Management by Exception'

Order timeliness is among the most critical production requirements and being able to create visibility into production on things that impact timeliness is essential. Once the timeliness is improved, throughput goes up.

Reducing inventory turns and carrying costs are also critical needs to streamlining today's manufacturing environments. 

MES has the capability to provide the visibility and management tools necessary to affect these key indices, and more, enabling continuous performance improvement and exponential returns on investment.
