First, give conclusions that can be used for decision-making
MES readiness comes from five aspects: process, data, equipment, site and organization. Processes are selected first for representative products and production lines when they are not harmonized; master data required for the first phase are managed when code is confused; linkage validation is completed earlier when equipment agreements are unclear.
What conditions need to be identified before judgement is made?
The same question may have different answers under different business, data and project phases. It is suggested that the following conditions be checked and that the common findings on the web be incorporated into their own projects.
Suggested order of advance
First, we'll be clear about the target and the border.
Select a pilot line of high operational value and controllable borders.
Validation Key Dependence
- Preparation of worksheets, crafts, reporters, quality and retrospective samples.
Development of assessable outcomes
Validation of critical equipment, ERP and WMS interfaces.
Make sure you decide the next step with the real results.
(d) Establishment of pilot, abnormal, retreat and extension programmes.
How do you understand it in the actual business?
The plant plans to go on-line with MES, but the equipment agreement, the process version, and the material code are not harmonized. Selecting a typical production line, using two product run-through sheets to the closed loop, can expose data and equipment problems at an early stage, before creating replicable standards.
The easiest pit to step on.
Leave the data to the implementers to speculate.
The equipment was not connected until the system development was completed.
Only IT attends demand meetings, first contact with the live user on the line
How should we end up receiving and confirming?
The initiation of the review should result in pilot boundaries, processes and samples, master data, equipment and interface validation results, mutual liability, site conditions, risk lists and an enforceable test-production plan.
When preparing to communicate with suppliers or internal teams, it is recommended that current processes, representative samples, existing systems, planning time and budget levels be brought. First, the unknown items are clearly marked, and then the decision is made to use diagnostics, PoC, fixed-range projects or ongoing research and development, which is usually more reliable than a direct demand for a price and duration without borders.
