Part Master
Revision-Aware
Manage finished goods, subassemblies, raw materials, and components with full revision control, part categories, units of measure, and lifecycle status tracking.
Manufacturing Execution System for Production Management
Production Tracking, BOM-Driven Execution, and Relational KPI Drilldown
Production Visibility, From Work Order to Finished Good
Synesis MES delivers real-time production tracking and execution management for manufacturing operations. From work order creation to production completion, the system captures production data—materials consumed, labor hours, scrap, downtime—and makes it available for immediate visibility and relational analytics. Every production metric drills down to the transactions that created it.
Part master, bill of materials, and routing data drive production execution. When you create a work order, Synesis MES explodes the BOM to calculate material requirements and copies routing operations to establish labor and machine time standards. Production postings are tracked against these operations, enabling real-time comparison of planned vs. actual performance and immediate identification of variances on the production floor.
Core MES Capabilities
Bill of Materials
Multi-Level BOM
Create multi-level BOMs with component quantities, effective dates, alternate BOMs, phantom/subassembly support, where-used analysis, and scrap/yield factors.
Routings
Operation Sequence
Define operation sequences with setup/run time, labor and machine time standards, cycle time calculations, and full revision support for engineering changes.
Work Orders
Full Lifecycle
Create work orders from part master with automatic BOM and routing snapshots. Track status through hold, release, in-progress, completed, and closed states.
Work Order Materials & Operations
Exploded Requirements
Automatically explode BOMs for component requirements with issued/remaining tracking. Copy routing operations to work order with standard/planned/actual time comparison.
Work Stations
Capacity & Scheduling
Maintain work station master with capacity planning, shift calendars, station-specific KPI rollups, and utilization tracking for production scheduling.
Production Posting
Real-Time Capture
Capture start/stop events, quantities completed and scrapped, labor hours, machine time, downtime, and shift information at the operation level in real time.
Employee Productivity
Efficiency Tracking
Track employee production history, badge/login mapping, individual work order postings, efficiency metrics, and performance against labor standards.
KPI Drilldown Analytics
Transaction-Level Insight
Access throughput, scrap rate, labor efficiency, station utilization, schedule adherence, and cycle-time variance metrics with drilldown to underlying transactions.
BOM-Driven Materials, Routing-Driven Execution
Part Master → BOM
Explode component requirements when work order is created. Calculate material needs automatically.
Part Master → Routing
Establish labor and machine time standards per operation. Define cycle time and setup requirements.
Work Order Materials
Track issued quantities and remaining material requirements in real time against the work order.
Operation Tracking
Record actual vs. planned times with variance analysis. Identify efficiency gaps at every operation.
Relational KPI Drilldown — From Summary to Transaction
Production Visibility
Schedule Adherence
Scrap Reduction Target
Designed for Every Role on the Production Floor
Production Operator
Record start/stop, quantities, downtime, and time-tracking at the work station throughout the shift.
Production Supervisor
Track team performance, manage work order releases, approve timekeeping, and respond to production issues.
Production Planner
Create and schedule work orders, balance capacity across stations, and manage material availability.
Manufacturing Engineer
Maintain parts, BOMs, routings, work stations, and labor/machine standards across the production system.
Plant Manager
Access production dashboards, KPI analytics, schedule adherence metrics, and relational drilldown to root causes.
Operations Analyst
Run performance reports, investigate KPI variance, identify bottlenecks, and support continuous improvement.
