Description

MES is an information and communication system that takes care of the transportation between process information on the factory floor and the business process solutions. Its main purpose is to control and to improve all aspects that are influencing the production process in order to achieve higher flexibility, lower production costs and thus provide more overall profit. Today’s enterprise information systems main weaknesses is that they are not attractive and affordable for small and medium-sized enterprises due to their long implementation time, unnecessary features and relatively high cost. This project aims to develop customized manufacturing execution systems for manufacturing small and medium enterprises. The system helps to control and to improve all aspects that are influencing the production process in order to achieve higher flexibility, lower production costs and thus provide more overall profit. Small grant scheme project focuses on market research, competition and environmental impact analysis, marketing study with the further aim to develop a business plan and IT specification of the system.

Summary of project results

Project was needed to develop customized manufacturing execution systems for manufacturing small and medium enterprises. The system helps to control and to improve all aspects that are influencing the production process in order to achieve higher flexibility, lower production costs and thus provide more overall profit. The objective of this small grant scheme project was to conduct the market research, competition and environmental impact analysis, marketing study with the further aim to develop a business plan and IT specification of the system. Project promoter has presented the results in its final report; hence the objective can be considered reached. The results are sustained through future production and business activities, as project promoter participated in the programme open (main) call. Due to the involvment of a donor partner the partner search activities are considered successful.
