FAQs

What are the benefits of a manufacturing execution system?

A manufacturing execution system (MES) bridges gaps between production planning in ERP and shop floor execution. Benefits include increased efficiency, visibility, quality, and flexibility. Intelligent workflows connect data and systems for paperless processes, rapid issue resolution, and continuous improvement.

How is NetSuite Manufacturing Execution different from basic ERP?

NetSuite MES goes beyond standard ERP production management capabilities. It adds real-time visibility, asset monitoring, operational alerts, quality management, traceability, dynamic scheduling, and corrective actions. The result is optimized, orchestrated plant floor operations.

What production environments is NetSuite MES designed for?

NetSuite Manufacturing Execution supports discrete, process, mixed-mode, and batch production environments. Advanced capabilities for formula management, quality testing, traceability, and corrective actions meet the needs of highly regulated industries.

Does NetSuite MES require IoT sensors or equipment connectivity?

While NetSuite MES can ingest sensor and machine data for enhanced capabilities, it can also deliver value with manual data touchpoints. Support for barcode scanning, tablets, and automated data collection systems covers a wide range of shop floor environments out of the box.

What does deployment and ongoing management look like?

As a cloud platform, NetSuite MES allows rapid deployment without extensive infrastructure requirements. We offer customized rollout strategies to match unique environments. Ongoing enhancements harness the power of continuous updates without the need for manual upgrading.

How long does it take to implement NetSuite Manufacturing Execution?

Implementation timelines vary based on the complexity of your manufacturing environment and processes. Most organizations can expect an average implementation in 12-18 weeks.
