This chapter covers the following topics:
Oracle Manufacturing Execution System for Process Manufacturing is an add-on application to Oracle Process Manufacturing that provides intensive, multifaceted shop floor execution capabilities. The application allows process manufacturers to deploy Oracle Process Manufacturing directly on their shop floors as the manufacturing execution system (MES). For most process manufacturers, the structured and standards-based shop floor execution toolset of MES removes the requirement to invest in a third party or a homegrown MES system, and helps reduce costs while eliminating integration and support tasks.
This section provides information on the common prerequisites, profile options, and data setups required for executing the Oracle Manufacturing Execution System for Process Manufacturing flows. Flow specific requirements are documented along with each flow in the subsequent sections.
The following are the prerequisites for executing the flows:

Batch records are work orders that provide a detailed step-by-step course of action to steer production operators through the batch manufacturing process. Depending on individual work instructions, some batch steps can be done at any time, while other steps must be completed before batch production can proceed, these instructions can be completed using the Operators Workbench.

Releases batch step
Locks the step
Validates the lock step
Executes instructions
Executes process instructions associated to other entities
Executes tasks associated instructions
