MES Implementation at an Aerospace Manufacturer

The customer manufactures aerospace parts with many batches, complex processes and strict traceability requirements. The team built MES around work orders, batches and process steps.

The system records every step from raw material receipt to finished goods delivery, capturing equipment, operator, parameters and inspection data at each key process to form a complete quality record. Exceptions trigger isolation and review workflows to prevent nonconforming products from moving forward.

After implementation, traceability time fell from days to minutes, plan attainment rose 20%, and the customer was well positioned to pass OEM audits.
