Integration with Manufacturing Execution Systems

You can use an MES to enable the optimization of production activities from production order launch to completion of finished goods. MES functions include:

• Resource Allocation and Status

• Operations/Detail Scheduling

• Dispatching Production Units

• Document Control

• Data Collection/Acquisition

• Labor Management

• Quality Management

• Process Management

• Maintenance Management

• Product Tracking and Genealogy

• Performance Analysis

To facilitate the flow of information between PeopleSoft and the MES, a group of EIPs provides a flexible link between the two systems. With PeopleSoft Manufacturing, you can:

• Communicate production orders and production schedules from the PeopleSoft system to the MES.

• Communicate item revision information from the PeopleSoft system to the MES.

• Send operation and order completion and scrap information from the MES to the PeopleSoft system.

• Send component item usage from the MES to the PeopleSoft system.

• Analyze production performance in either the PeopleSoft system or the MES.

  If you are looking for more detailed operational information, use the MES to gather this information.

You continue to use PeopleSoft Manufacturing for planning, material movement into WIP, validation of completion data, and production costing functions. The PeopleSoft system is the system of record for setup information, including item masters, BOMs, and routings.
