MES project implementation often faces communication gaps between developers and customers regarding terminology. Differing interpretations of terms like 'report,' 'dashboard,' and 'mnemonic diagram' directly impact project scope, budget estimation, and technical specifications.
International standards ISA-95 and MESA-11 define MES functions, including production planning, quality control, and traceability. However, the specific scope depends on industry requirements and the individual enterprise's objectives.
A report is defined as a static data representation for a specific period, such as shift reports or quality logs. In contrast, a mnemonic diagram visualizes equipment and process parameters, while a dashboard serves as an interactive analytical tool for performance metrics.
MTS Industrial Products and Solutions Center conducts production process audits to align terminology. These assessments help define project boundaries and create technical specifications that are mutually understood by both the client and the developer.
