FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

MES, or Manufacturing Execution System, manages and controls work orders, production output, defects, and equipment status on the shop floor in real time. While ERP handles enterprise-wide planning, management, and settlement of resources, MES carries out that plan on the floor and collects the results — the two systems complement each other.

Yes. The entire production process is recorded in real time through LOT tracking, so when a defect occurs, the cause can be identified immediately to prevent it from spreading.

Anywhere from 2–3 months to over 6 months. We can help set up a fast-track timeline aligned with government support program policies.
